From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Wes Barris To: gnats-devel@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: send-pr broken Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 13:06:00 -0000 Message-id: <20010312150537.A91932@us.networkcs.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-q1/msg00056.html The cvs version of gnats: send-pr is broken. After building, installing, and configuring gnats, send-pr produces this error: root@kirby# send-pr It seems that send-pr is not installed with your organization set to a useful value. To fix this, you need to edit the configuration file and fill in the organization with the correct value. It seems that send-pr is not installed with your unique submitter-id. You need to run install-sid YOUR-SID where YOUR-SID is the identification code you received with `send-pr'. `send-pr' will automatically insert this value into the template field `>Submitter-Id'. If you've downloaded `send-pr' from the Net, use `net' for this value. If you do not know your id, run `send-pr --request-id' to get one from your support site. root@kirby# I snooped through the send-pr code and found this snippet: # Configuration file to be read. It must be a shell script that can redefine # the variables above to fit a local configuration. CONFIGFILE=/usr/local/etc/gnats/send-pr.conf if [ -r $CONFIGFILE ]; then . $CONFIGFILE fi It looks like send-pr is looking for a file named "send-pr.conf". This is not included in the gnats distribution. I don't see any documentation on it anywhere. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Barris wes@networkcs.com Network Computing Services, Inc. 612.337.3423 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's fortune: I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.
