Q - Gnats 4.0-alpha quickies

Q - Gnats 4.0-alpha quickies

[Tim Freedom]

Using Gnats 4.0-alpha (debian -> 3.99) & gnatsweb.pl v-1.78
(debian -> gnatsweb-3.beta99.2+cvs20011113.orig) on a Debian system;
we've noticed a few irretating things (possible bugs ?)

1. Whenever a new PR is submitted with both "Reporter's email:"
    and "Originator:" (as they are termed on gnatsweb.pl) - the
    email produced to the party responsible comes in the form of,

     submitter@hisdomain.com

    and NOT

     "Name-of-Submitter" <submitter@hisdomain.com>

    Can that be fixed/changed (ie. we'd like to include the name of
    the person in the header fields of the email) ? how ?

2. Along the same lines as #1 - any time a PR is modified an email
    gets sent from,

     gnats-admin@mydomain.com

    We'd like to change that to say something useful in the "From"
    header field of the email.  Like,

     "MyDomain Bug Tracker" <gnats-admin@mydomain.com>

    Anyway to do that (did I miss a FAQ) ??

3. Without too much code change, any easy way to list "Originator"
    right above "Reporter's email" on gnatsweb.pl or right below
    it (before the CC-list) ?

4. Using command-line gnats -- the following command simply produces
    a single empty line (instead of showing the PR's entire contents).

    query-pr -F      ##     (where ## is a valid PR number)
    query-pr --full  ##
    query-pr -f full ##

    Is this a known bug ?  Work-around ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Unless Gnatsweb handles this itself, this can be configured in
`gnats-adm/dbconfig', see the corresponding GNATS manual entry for more
information.

Strange, I've never seen this before, it looks like a bug.  Could you
please try to find out more about the problem?

If you can look at the dbconfig in use, do it.  Maybe, there's something
wrong with the `query "full"' definition in it.

Yup, all the different formats seem to work except for -F (full).

Tried,

  query-pr --format standard 7
  query-pr --format summary 7
  query-pr --format sql 7
  query-pr --format sql2 7
  query-pr -q

I'll ask the maintainer of the site for what you note above
(with default dbconfig); is there anything else I can do as
a user ?

Thanks

Do other formats (-q etc.) work?  What if you set up a new database with
the default dbconfig?  If nothing helps then we need to know an exact
way how to reproduce the bug (including the configuration).

    TF> Does the command work for you ? others ?

It works for me and I've never heard about any such problems.
