From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Gerald Pfeifer To: Subject: Compatibility between GNATS 3.x and 4.x? gnatsweb? Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 03:44:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-q1/msg00024.html Today I tried merging the changes since gnatsweb 2.6 into the existing installation of GNATS 3.x and gnatsweb 2.6 (+ patches) on gcc.gnu.org. In this case, and also when I just took vanilla gnatsweb CVS sources, this failed to work against the current GNATS installation there: Error: HCPRUN500E Unrecognized command. Error: cannot understand '' Error: cannot understand '' This means that gnatsweb CVS sources (which have some GNATS 4.0 patches) won't work against a GNATS 3.x server, even though the README states otherwise. I assume that also means that gnatsweb 2.6 won't work against a GNATS 4.0 server, either, though I don't have a GNATS 4.0 server available for testing now. Are GNATS 3.x and 4.0 supposed to be incompatible? Or should it be possible to update the GNATS server and keep existing clients? That current gnatsweb CVS sources don't work against a 3.x server seems like a bug to me, though I won't have time to address this anytime soon. Anyone willing to help with that??
