Multiple Database on Gnats3.113.1 and Gnatsweb 2.9.3

Multiple Database on Gnats3.113.1 and Gnatsweb 2.9.3

[Z Stan]

I just wonder how to make Gnats3.113.1 and Gnatsweb2.9.3 support multiply 
DB.
I want to make one DB according to one project. But it seems just adding a 
line in /etc/gnats-db.conf can't works. When I submit a new PR in gnatsweb, 
it is still submitted into the old DB directory. And When query in gnatweb 
on the new DB, the PRs in the old one is still checked out. Can somebody 
tell me what should I do besides just make a new directory and add the 
directory path in gnats-db.conf?

I know gnat4 have been released for monthes. And it support multiple DB very 
well. But I have made some changes on Gnats3 and Gnatweb2 before Gnats4 
released in order to make it support Asian languages better. So I can't use 
the new Gnats4 before it support Asian better. It's a pity......

thanks

Please see the FAQ at
    http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/faq/gnats-faq_3.html#SEC12

In short: "initialize" the new database, and create a separate
set of mail aliases.

The FAQ forgets to mention that you must enter the new mail
address in new-db-dir/gnats-adm/config (GNATS_ADDR=...).  I'll
update this.

That's probably because you use the mail aliases of the old
database.

I am confused by this.

Are you sure the entry in gnats-db.conf points to the right
directory?  Does the new directory contain gnats-adm,
gnats-queue, and the sub-directories for the categories?

Does everything in the new db directory belong to the gnats user
(and is readable and writeable by it)?


    ZS> I know gnat4 have been released for monthes.

It is still beta (officially), but seems to be pretty usable.

    ZS> And it support multiple DB very well.

I am running 3.111, with multiple databases.  So I can confirm
that it works, even with pre-4.0. :-)

Internationalization is on the agenda only for post-4.0, sorry.

Thanks for reply.

Gosh. I forgot that document.
Okay I will read that.

Yes, that's the point. I forgot to change the gnats-adm/config file.
Also forgot the new mail aliases and the new cron. I really should have read 
your FAQ before. sorry.

Yes. Quite right.

Just forget it, please. I made a stupid mistake. I just copy the old DB 
directory to the new one. And I removed all useless category directories. I 
also changed the categories and responsible files. But I forgot remove the 
index and current files in gnats-admin directory. So when I make query in 
gnatsweb the PRs in my old DB was checked out. Sorry.

Oh. It's so great to hear that. That give me more confidence.

Never mind. I will do what I have done on Gnats4 when I get time.
I may send a patch to gnats project when I feel it's good enough.

Thanks again.
