More cleanup notes. It looks like there was a couple missing manpages
for gnats. "getclose" was one of them. I wrote a new manpage a couple
nights ago using the existing ones as a template. It is attached.
I also realized that the install-sid shell script did not have a
manpage. In researching the script to find out what it did, I was
puzzled as to why it even existed. All it does is replace the
Submitter-Id environment variable in the send-pr script. The send-pr
script already references a configuration file (shell script),
/etc/gnats/send-pr.conf, to override the default variables in the script
itself.
Does anyone see a need to keep install-sid around? In order to use it
on a send-pr installed in /usr/bin, the user must be root anyway. It is
an administrator tool, and as an administrator, I cringe at the prospect
of having to remount /usr as read-write just to change a shell
environment variable in some random script.
