Subject: Renaming a category?
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 06:26:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <15076.11639.109588.446279@mail-g.mchp.siemens.de> (raw)
What is the preferred way to rename a category?
For GNATS 3.113, I am currently aware of the following procedure
(assume renaming from "A" to "B"):
1) Create a new category "B".
2) Edit each report in "A", changing the category to "B".
3) Remove category "A".
4) Run gen-index.
(I once tried to just rename the directory from "A" to "B" (and
the entry in gnats-adm/categories, of course), and found that
gen-index produced A/17 instead of B/17, because the Category
field had not been changed. This was probably with an earlier
version than 3.113; is gen-index now more clever about this?)
Is there an easier way? Maybe with version 4?
In step 2), do I need to invoke edit-pr and manually edit all
reports, or can I just run something like
for each report $n in category A,
sed -e "/^>Category:/ s/A/B/" < A/$n > B/$n
rm A/$n
Thanks for your hints,
Hans-Albert
