SYNOPSIS

massfile <path to instructions file> <path to list file>

DESCRIPTION

massfile is a script for massfiling bugs against Ubuntu packages in Launchpad. It requires an instructions file describing the contents of the bug report and a list file which lists the packages which the bug will be filed against.

Templates for both files can be found in /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-dev-tools/examples.
