I was wondering why the Gnatsweb interface for reporting bugs to Gnats itself is not up. I filed a bug report to bug-gnats@gnu.org but don't know any way now of checking its current status.

Unfortunately, we don't actually have GNATS up and running on fencepost.gnu.org, and bugs.gnu.org points to a machine that no longer exists. This all dates back to the pre-4.0 release period when the GNU servers were cracked. We have the old GNATS databases, but the savannah administrators have not yet fulfilled my request (over 6 months old) to install GNATS on fencepost (Debian Woody). I'll see if I can get an update from the sysadmin's as to the status of installing GNATS from Woody. So, I'll seek your opinions regarding the "dogbowl" status of our project. Do you think it's more important to have a stable version of GNATS running for our own bug reporting, or would you prefer to see a newer, perhaps RC version of GNATS running? I'm partial to simply running the stable version rather than cutting edge. If you all feel we should do cutting edge, I'll compile GNATS locally on my personal account on fencepost and run it from my home directory. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ [-- Attachment #1.2: Digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 189 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 140 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats

For that matter, you can look at the online archives for the mailing list, which has turned into a psuedo-chat email list regarding the problems. This is my fault. I should have simply moved the conversation of these bugs back to help-gnats. bug-gnats will eventually be re-aliased to point to the GNATS system rather than the mailman email list, hopefully with some nice spam filtering in front of it. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ [-- Attachment #1.2: Digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 189 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 140 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
I'd vote for running the stable version, rather than the cutting edge. On Nov 24, 2004, at 1:29 PM, Chad Walstrom wrote: > ....
