GnatsWeb....

GnatsWeb....

[Adam Cade]

Hi guys,

Can't find any information on creating/editoring fields in gnats web. Is 
impossible?

I want to change the name of the fiend 'Priority' to 'Fixed in version:' 
(Don't ask). However, whenever i do this in dbconfig i get errors from 
gnatsweb:

Return code: 417 - Error at line 148 of 
/usr/local/etc/gnats/databases/test/gnats-adm/dbconfig:Invalid builtin 
fieldname Fixed in version:

Any ideas on how to hack the dbconfig?

Cheers,
Adam

Re: GnatsWeb....

[James Eric Lawson]

The fiend priority...fixed-in-version (hyphens)?  I don't know about
changing the built-in fields, though; I have only changed non-built-ins.
To change those, 5 lines of the dbconfig file needed to be edited
("Notify-List" to "cc" -- don't ask).

If possible despite whatever resistance you're encountering, you might
want to default the priority field and add a field, or change an unused,
non-built-in.

Hi

Can someone tell me what the permissions ie owner and group should be for the
file bugs.log?

I get as far as submitting a problem report using gnatsweb and i get the
following error:


/usr/local/share/gnats/gnats-db/gnats-adm/bugs.log... Can't create output:
Permission denied
/dead.letter... cannot open /dead.letter: Permission denied
 Error


Bad pipe to /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t


I created the file as the GNATS admin.

Hi James,

Make sure that your clients are all properly issuing the EDITADDR
directive in the gnats client-server protocol (this is how gnats fills
in the State-Changed-By field).

Depending on the version of gnatsweb you have, you want it to send a
client_cmd("editaddr $db_prefs{'user'}"); in the 'sub submitedit {...}
code.

However, you also need for $db_prefs{'user'} to have the value of the
username which will be in a user cookie, so if cookies are disabled or
the user is not entering anything to get that information filled out,
then, you won't have any useful information for the editaddr command
to the server and you will get the 'null' results you are seeing.

        Good luck,

Hey folks,

 

I’ve got the latest gnatsweb and GNATs from CVS and I’ve almost got it
running exactly how I want. One problem is that the person making an edit is
not reported correctly eg:

 

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: State-Changed-When: Sat, 26 May 2001 20:03:03 BST State-Changed-Why:

 

Emails also come from ‘null’. Anyone know how to fix this?

It looks like somebody already did.

Note that the sources/gcc.gnu.org gnatsweb is mildly hacked from the
official version.  For instance it recognizes URL text in PR bodies
and turns it into a link when displaying.  (I'd like to see this go in
to the official gnatsweb...)

Please tell me if you make significant changes.  I'd like to keep the
gcc and sources gnatsweb copies more or less in sync.

Well, I won't have to time to become *the* maintainer in the near future,
but I think I'll be able to contribute a few improvements or perhaps also
install changes by others (as I have received a couple of private mails by
others working on gnatsweb).

Would you mind giving me a few hints?

 - What version in CVS I should base any future work on?

   I assume the head of the tree? (There is a branch, but it seems old.)

 - ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gnats/contrib/gnatsweb-2.7beta.tar.gz
   contains a snapshot of gnatsweb.

   Is this the most current one?

   It does not seem to be in CVS. Should we make this the head of the
   tree, or has this evolved independently? If the latter, what's the
   proper procedure to merge this in?

 - Are "we" the current maintainers of gnatsweb or is there some external
   development going on?

Bob already fixed gnatsweb 2.6 in the CVS snapshot (I'm sure you're aware of
that, but just wanted to make it really obvious in case that wasn't the
case).

This is indeed very welcome for a lot of projects, thanks for tackling this!

I guess you are aware of the gnatsweb 2.7 beta, which features modularization 
and a reportedly 'very cool' graphical charting/reporting module?  I only 
gave it a quick shot which failed due to gnats 4.0 issues, which I wanted

still it looked very promissing and I'd love to see this feature set

Re: gnatsweb

[Paul Traina]

The policy is that everyone who has agreed to maintain it (including myself)
no longer has any time or ability to do so, so we're in desparate search for
a maintainer.  If you'd like to be that person, then the only policy I'd say
is: "Don't you dare break it." :-)

What's the policy of the GNATS project? Can I just go ahead an install
patches to gnatsweb?

You're more than welcome to join the gang of un-maintainers if Ken doesn't

[Gerald Pfeifer]

My patch for gnatsweb has been ignored for two times now

I noticed that also GNATS is more or less unmaintained, but it seems that
gnatsweb is completely unmaintained these days.

Unless someone proves me wrong (and I do hope that this will happen!)
I'm considering making new gnatsweb releases "soon"; the current situation
is frustrating and unacceptable for those projects (like GCC) relying on
gnatsweb.

If there *is* an active gnatsweb maintainer, I'd be glad to donate my
original patch as well as a few further ones that probably will come
soon...
