Message-ID: <mailman.11341.1072959623.17815.mailman@gnu.org>

This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your gnu.org mailing
list memberships.  It includes your subscription info and how to use
it to change it or unsubscribe from a list.

You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or
configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery
or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.

In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such
changes.  For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of
the list (for example, mailman-request@gnu.org) containing just the
word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to
you with instructions.

If you have questions, problems, comments, etc, send them to
mailman-owner@gnu.org.  Thanks!

Message-ID: <5C7A9072E0B392439C16637A1B716F2A453A69@bbrgex01.corp.mphasis.com>

Hi,
I am using GNATS v3.113. The control for field is 'Release' is EditBox.
May I change this EditBox control to 'ComboBox'? 
If yes, please let me know how?
I need this because my requirement is to restrict user to select from
a set of available data for this 'Release' field.

Thanks,
Ravi Ranjan

The installation of gnats4 seems to be OK.
The installation of gnatsweb4 seems to be OK too.
The test : make test USERNAME.... PASSWORD .... DATABASE pass successfully.
When a enter http://sun450/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl in IE5 on my XP worstation a
blank page appears !
Why ?
The permissions for gnatsweb.pl are 755.
The cgi script "Hello world" in cgi-bin folder works correctly.
The path to perl in the first line of gnatsweb.pl is correct.

Thanks for your help.

MR MICHAEL MAYO
10 CONSTANTIA AVENUE,
NATURENA, SOUTHGATE,
REP. OF SOUTH AFRICA

TEL/FAX: +27-82 363 9393
         
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO     

Zimbabwe formerly Rhodesia under the colonial rule gained independence in 1981 under the nationalist struggle for independence led by Mr. Robert Mugabe and late Joshua Nkomo. Under the white rule and since independence the minority whites that owned most of the farmlands in Zimbabwe have dominated agriculture. The aborigines believe that they are still slaves in their own land if they continue to work the lands for their white masters even after independence. Robert Mugabe as the black Moses who led his people to freedom has vowed to revoke ownership of the white owned farms and redistribute the lands to the landless blacks. This move he said is necessary to redress the imbalance of the colonial era. For the struggle to be meaningful the whites must give up their lands, which was part of the struggle for freedom. To affect this initiative the government has amended its land acquisition laws and policies months ago, which gave about 3000 white Zimbabwean farmers a 45-day quit notice to leave their lands to the government.

My family and I are caught up in this web of land politics, which also led to the death of our father. We have seen reforms after reforms by the government of Mugabe and we are fed up with it. Our economy is in shambles and it is just not profitable and safe enough for us to remain in Zimbabwe. We have decided to relocate our farm to Swaziland, a neighboring country, where we have acquired lands. Our capital base is in South Africa where we are temporarily living pending such time logistics would be ready for full-scale operation in Swaziland. Bearing in mind that some African Presidents and their government are playing ??Russian Roulette?? over the Zimbabwean land crisis, every effort has begun in earnest to move our capital base to a stable country where it can be safer, hence contacting you.

With a capital base of U.S$28.7 Million, there is a great deal of secrecy involved to avoid the piercing eyes and smelling noses of the government of Zimbabwe and their agents. We are therefore contacting you so you can use a magnificent business technique to transfer this family financial treasure out of South Africa. This money is presently deposited confidentially with a Security Company here in South Africa. We mapped out 25% of the gross sum as due commission for your expected honest assistance in executing the successful transfer of this money out of South Africa, for our family investments.

Please, call us, fax or send an e-mail, immediately if you are interested, so we can discuss further while we hold this correspondence in the strictest confidence, which it requires. God bless you.

Thanking you in advance,
                                    
DOUGLAS  ROBINSON
(For the family)

Subject: Gnats on localhost
Message-ID: <20040130133714.GC3973@navi.cs.may.ie>

Hey,
	I'm trying to set gnats up on my localhost as a system for one  
user (I like to track my own bugs).  However I don't want to set up a  
mail server.
	From the documentation I think the tools send-pr etc... will  
communicate directly with gnatsd, alliveating my need for a mail  
server.  However, I am unable to get this working.  Here is my error

balor@navi ~ $ sudo /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd -d tpa
422 GNATS initialization of database failed: You are not permitted to  
access database tpa.

(I have no database default)

Could someone please confirm for me that I can run Gnats without a  
mailserver and possibly give me some insight into my problem.  Please  
reply off list as I am not subscribed.

Thank you,
Aidan Delaney.

Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Before delving into this in detail, you may want to confirm that
the 'tpa' directory along with the gnats-adm subdirectory and all
the files in it, are readable by the user with which gnatsd is
running....in your case 'root'.

If your 'tpa' directory resides on an NFS mount, the 'root' user
on your system may not have permission to read it.

The gnats server sends email associated with various PR activity.
A quick way to disable this is to edit the 'mail-agent'
script in the <installdir>/libexec/gnats directory, and replace
the line 'exec $MAIL_AGENT $@ > /dev/null' with something benign,
such as 'exec /bin/sh -c 'umask 0; cat > /dev/null'.

Mel,
	Thanks for the reply.  I figured out that I don't have to run  
gnatsd in order to have send-pr etc... manipulate my local gnats  
database.  I will be using your tip about $MAIL_AGENT

It is a credit to the gnats developers that a lowly hacker (like me)  
can find the gnats-adm and the rest of my local database to be self- 
documenting.  I have been using gnats for about 4 days now and find it  
invaluable.  Please keep up your fantastic work

gnats + arch + emacs = pure joy :)

Subject: Access level problem on gnats 4.0
Message-ID: <40290BDF.2000709@dsl.pipex.com>

I've just installed gnats 4.0 and I'm having a problem getting access to 
a database. This is a single machine (RH7.2), single-user trial setup, 
using gnatsd. 'host_access' contains:

localhost:admin:
*:listdb:

query-pr gives me an 'acess denied' message, and USER says that my 
access level is 'listdb'. If I remove the '*:listdb:' entry then I don't 
get any permissions at all. I've tried variations on 'localhost', and 
tried 'edit' instead of 'admin', but nothing gives me an access level 
above listdb.

I've also tried creating a 'user_access' which contains the single line

evan::admin

but this doesn't make any difference. I know that gnatsd is successfully 
restaring because removing the '*:listdb:' line lowers the permissions.

Any ideas?

Thanks -

Evan

Ok, getting there, very slowly...

if I change

> evan::admin

to 'evan::admin:' then at least I can (I think) get access to a database.

Next question: there's a tkgnats in the 'contrib' directory, but it 
doesn't seem to work. When you start it up it tries to exec 'query-pr 
--list-class', and this doesn't seem to be a supported option for 
query-pr. The emacs mode also seems to be broken; it wants to do 
'query-pr --directory', which doesn't seem to be a supported option 
either. Are there versions of tkgnats and the emacs mode for gnats 4.0?

Thanks

Evan

There are two locations where you can place the "access" files:

   1. <instdir>/etc/gnats/

   2. <dbdir>/gnats-adm/

Check for a gnatsd.user_access file in both locations. Note that
the one in the <dbdir> will override the one in <instdir>.

The syntax of the gnatsd.user_access file has changed some.
You should use the following equivalent:

evan:$0$:admin:

Hope this helps.

A first guess:

Copy the "localhost" line, replacing "localhost" by the hostname of 
your machine.  This must be the "canonical" hostname, i.e., the first 
one listed for its IP address in /etc/hosts.

If this does not help, please come back to the list with some more 
information, especially tell us the complete invocation of query-pr, 
and the contents of your databases file (as this is where query-pr 
looks for information on how to contact the database).

Thanks Mel/Hans-Albert - some more info below. I thought I had fixed the 
access problem with the extra ':' in my user_access, but this actually 
made no difference.

I've got one local test database, on the same machine as the server. 
'/usr/local/etc/gnats/databases' contains:

default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb
test:test database:/home/evan/work/test/gnatsdb

I've got one host_access file, and three user_access files, in these 
locations:

/usr/local/etc/gnats/defaults/gnatsd.user_access (this is empty)
/usr/local/etc/gnats/gnatsd.host_access
/usr/local/com/gnatsdb/gnats-adm/gnatsd.user_access
/home/evan/work/test/gnatsdb/gnats-adm/gnatsd.user_access

'host_access' contains:

[canonical-name]:admin:
*:none:

[canonical-name] is my machine's full name from /etc/hosts; using either 
the short name or 'localhost', or removing this line completely, makes 
no difference.

The two 'user_access' files currently contain:

evan:$0$evan:admin:
*::none:

I then set GNATSDB to 'test'. With this setup, I can use send-pr to 
create a problem report in the 'test' database, and I can use query-pr 
to view it, and edit-pr to edit it. I know that it's my local test 
database, because 'query-pr --database test 1' shows the PR, but 
'query-pr --database default 1' shows nothing.

PROBLEMS:
---------

1) If I restart xinetd, and then run 'gnatsd' to administer the test 
database, I can't get any permission above 'none':

evan 113 > gnatsd
200 [canonical-name] GNATS server 4.0 ready.
USER evan evan
210-Now accessing GNATS database 'test'
210 User access level set to 'none'

I've tried different passwords, including none, and it makes no difference.

2) If I now login as another user (gnats), I can *still* edit the test 
database using edit-pr. The permissions from the two access files appear 
to be ignored when using edit-pr, send-pr, etc.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Evan

This is an entirely reasonable setup....providing of course that
the files are readable by the user running gnatsd.

>

> *:none:

The above looks good....with one caveat. If you wish to run gnatsd
by hand (as appears to be the case), you should add an entry for
"stdin". So, your host_access file should contain:

[canonical-name]:admin:
stdin:admin:
*:none:

I think this might be causing problem #1.

The "none" entry is invalid. Try replacing it with:

*:$0$:none:

Where are you logging in from? If it's from your "canonical-name" host,
you are essentially granting "admin" access since your user_access file
is ignored because of the missing "$0$" in the entry for "none".

Hope this helps.

Message-ID: <D71DBDEFAB7F314ABFF6BB5573A62C8E0858DD@mail-lhr-be.xavor.com>

Dear All,

I am writing GNATSD client in C#.Net. I need to push back the new PRID
generated by GNATS to the client. I have multiple clients that can
simultaneously enter new PRS. Can any one please guide me what is the
best way to return / get the PRID from the GNATS after insertion.

 

Thanks in advance.

I maintain a perl module for communication with the gnats daemon.  I
originally intended to do the same thing as you for my "submitPR" method
(i.e. return the PR Number of the newly created PR) but instead decided
only to return true/false (depending on success/failure).  As far as I
know, since gnatsd doesn't supply the information on PR creation, the
only way to reliably get the PR number of a new PR is to query again for
the exact same criteria.

I left it up to my user to find the PR number of his/her new PR.

Mike

Actually, the latest version of the GNATS sources has a patch for
returning the new PR number. This is one of the few changes
made after GNATS 4.0 was released. Here's the ChangeLog entry:

2003-08-30  Mel Hatzis  <hatzis@juniper.net>, Andrew J. Gray
<andrewg@gnu.org>

         * client.c (get_reply): Check for outfp being NULL.
         (netSendPRCmd): Add flag to show information received.  All
         callers changed.
         * cmds.c (GNATS_subm): Send PR number for new submission.
         * file-pr.c (submit_pr): Return PR number for new submission.
         * pr-edit.c (long_options, handleNetworkEdit, main): Add
         show_prnum option.

If you opt to try this, be aware that it's a change to the GNATS
client/server interface (if you're using GNATS in network mode),
so you'll need to update the GNATS client binaries in addition
to the server.

You'll need to get the current development version of GNATS
from CVS...it contains very few changes from GNATS 4.0 and,
IMO, it's just as reliable.

Follow the instructions for "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository"
on http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnats if you want to
know how this is done.

will SUBM command
> return new PR number ?

Assuming the SUBM command succeeds and creates, say, PR 1969,
it would return the following:

351-The added PR number is:
350 1969

As for the GNATS client utilities...

   - pr-edit will return the new PR number if it is
     invoked with a (new) --show-prnum option which
     is relevant if the --submit option is also
     present

   - send-pr will always return something like:

       send-pr: problem report 1969 filed

     (it now invokes pr-edit with the '--show-prnum' option)

Is there support yet in gnatsweb for the returned PR number
feature?

No, there isn't. I have been meaning to add it for some time, but I 
haven't been able to get it done yet. (Patches are of course always 
welcome.)

Message-ID: <A125AF3F419E97458A237BE2484C3C8B0DB07140@pluto.msdc.hcltech.com>


Hello All:

I am considering using two GNATS servers in different locations (in separate
VPNs) and was wondering if we could import bugs from one to another. I mean,
somebody enters a bug in one server and instead of having to repeat the same
thing for the second one, export from the first one and then import to the
second one? Any help would me much appreciated.

Thanks.

Subject: database backend for GNATS
Message-ID: <40494528.6070802@juniper.net>


I've been working on extending GNATS to support various backend
datastores. It is my hope that this work can be rolled into
(or perhaps become the basis for) GNATS 4.1 or whatever the next
release may be (GNATS 5.0?).

To date, I have successfully completed the implementation
of a version of GNATS which can be configured to run with
an Oracle backend. I have managed to roll this out at the
company where I work where it has met with much success.

If you are interested in evaluating this work, you can download
it (and review the related documentation) from:

     http://professional.juniper.net/gnats/

The approach I've taken is to separate out all the functionality
associated with access to the GNATS PR data repository into
a separate library....essentially creating a clean interface
between GNATS and it's data store. The front-end utilities
and applications such as Gnatsweb are unaffected...they
continue to work exactly the same.

Currently, there are two back ends: the standard flat-file
repository, and an Oracle-based backend. We have been using
the Oracle version at Juniper for six months, with tens of
thousands of PRs and hundreds of users.

The work is based on a snapshot of the 4.0 beta 2 source, though
all subsequent patches have been incorporated...so all the work
that went into GNATS 4.0 is included. As of today, all patches to
the CVS version of GNATS have been included in this project.

It is my hope that this work will be extended to support
additional SQL datastores such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
I believe that this could now be accomplished without
expending a great deal of effort. I'm willing to provide
a template to anyone interested in pursuing this endevour
to get this work underway.

I am writing to tell you something about myself.  Something that drove me crazy for a long time.  I thought things would never be better for me.  My name is Estelle Pritchett and this was a part of my life.

Ever since I started having sexual relationships, I noticed something about me wasn't 'working properly' if you know what I mean. I was having an extremely difficult time performing in bed with the ladies, and as time went on, my problem didn't cure itself.

Although I was sceptic about Cialis, I was desperate and simply had to try something! To my surprise, Cialis finally solved my erectile problem, and worked much better than viagra!

I am writing this email to share my great success with you, and hope to help out someone who feels the same way I used to.

Here is the URL http://www.canndle.com/4/7/index.php?ai=7049 if you'd like to check this out.

Is the tkgnats-3.0.18 not compatable with gnats-4.0?
Is there a newsgroup for Gnats?

When I start the TkGnats tcl file, and click on the "Create/Query
Problem Report" I get this error.
Error in startup script: query-pr: unrecognized option `--list-classes'
Usage: query-pr [OPTION]... [PR]...


Thanks
Reza

I didn't see if anyone replied to this.  First, you'll need to verify
whether or not you can send ANY email from the system.  Gnats uses the
sendmail program to send emails.  If you do not have a "sendmail"
program available, you won't receive email.

If that test is passed, you then need to look into the configuration
files for the gnats database.  Check in these likely places:

	/etc/gnats/db-config/DATABASE/
	/var/lib/gnats/DATABASE/gnats-adm/

Where DATABASE could be the name of your database or "gnats-db" as a
default.

Grep the flat files for the "@" symbol.  You should find some addresses
in in "dbconfig" (such as the reply-to fields).  Also check the
"responsible" file.  These will hold usernames and email addresses for
contacting.  Remember, you always need a gnats-admin person, but you can
assign any email address you want to it.

Read the info docs regarding how to set GNATS up.  They are a wealth of
information.

Hi,

I got a suggestion for you. Use a software like "unison" to sync your two 
installations.
Your user don't have to export and import the PR, that would be done 
automatically
with "unison" a couple of minutes after the insertion. Since, Gnats is all 
file base, I
think this would work well. Unison is not the only software for this, only 
one that I
use for other purpose.

I don't really understand why you would need two servers though. Can you 
have only
on location and have the second location access it via VPN or some other 
network
facility?

I am writing to tell you something about myself.  Something that drove me crazy for a long time.  I thought things would never be better for me.  My name is David Hancock and this was a part of my life.

Ever since I started having sexual relationships, I noticed something about me wasn't 'working properly' if you know what I mean. I was having an extremely difficult time performing in bed with the ladies, and as time went on, my problem didn't cure itself.

Although I was sceptic about Cialis, I was desperate and simply had to try something! To my surprise, Cialis finally solved my erectile problem, and worked much better than viagra!

I am writing this email to share my great success with you, and hope to help out someone who feels the same way I used to.

We actually altered who receives the initial-response-to-submitter.
Originally, the initial response goes to gnats-admin from the sender.
We flipped that around.

Note that this is for GNATS 4, GNATS 3 is not anywhere near as 
configurable. It's been a long while since I struggled with version 3, 
but I believe that you cannot do this unless you modify GNATS itself.

4.0 and standard front-end GUI (eg, Qt)?

Thanks,

GNATS has been developed with UNIX-like systems in mind--it happily 
compiles and runs on Solaris, Linux, etc.

However, a lot of things are different with Windows: there is no 
"super-server" like inetd or xinetd, there is no sendmail or similar to 
send and receive mails, etc.

On the other hand, most of these things are available via the CygWin 
project (see http://www.cygwin.com/), so you may be able to achieve your 
goal.  Besides the base package, you need xinetd (to start gnatsd when 
some client contacts it), maybe gcc and make (for compiling).

Concerning e-mail setup, you should be able to use ssmtp for sending 
mails (exim is also available).  If you create a POP3/IMAP4 mailbox on a 
mail server, you could get the incoming mails from there using fetchmail 
and telling it to use queue-pr as mail delivery agent, like this:

fetchmail --mda "/usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -d GreatNewDB -q" \
	[other fetchmail options]

(assuming you use GNATS 4, your database is called GreatNewDB, and your 
queue-pr is in /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr.  CygWin lets you use 
UNIX-style paths, including forward slashes.  Your Windows drives can be 
found as /cygdrive/C, /cygdrive/D, etc., so C:\winnt\system32 becomes 
/cygdrive/C/winnt/system32).


Note that I never tried this approach; it is just an attempt to give you 
a start if you really want to try it.  If you succeed (or fail), please 
share your experiences with the list, so some hints can be added to the 
manual and/or the FAQ.

Please provide more detail on where you are experiencing problems.
Without detailed information it is very difficult to provide you
any assistance.

Briefly, you run './configure', 'make', 'make install', then
'mkdb default' on the GNATS server. You'll probably also want
to edit your /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf (or xinetd.d/gnats)
files appropriately to start the GNATS server daemon...
don't forget to HUP inetd if you make changes.

If you wish to run GNATS in a client/server configuration, you
should also run './configure', 'make' and 'make install' on the
client machine(s). You should then edit <instdir>/etc/gnats/databases
appropriately on all client machines to point the GNATS client
binaries to the GNATS server. For send-pr to work successfully,
you should use the '--with-submitter' and '--with-organization'
configure options.

This is a gnatsweb question....I'm not entirely sure which version
of gnatsweb you're running, however, in the gnatsweb config file,
(gnatsweb-site.pl) there's the following variable:

   # when we have more than this many items, use a scrolling list
   # instead of a popup
   $popup_menu_becomes_obnoxious = <X>;

This variable specifies the maximum number of field values for a
drop-down menu to be used.

In your case, if you have more than <X> categories in your
categories file, a listbox will be used rather than a drop down.

There's no way to control this on a per-field basis...the
variable applies to all Enum fields in your configuration.

It appears that you've installed GNATS under /usr/local. The odd thing
in your case is that /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases is a directory,
instead of a file.

If you install GNATS under /usr/local, the GNATS binaries expect to find
the file /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases which contains a list of database
entries. At a minimum, this file should contain a single entry for the
'default' database which is mandatory.

I'm not sure why you have a directory named /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases.
Perhaps this is something from a previous install of GNATS?

In any case, if you wish to have your GNATS server installed under /usr/local,
you'll need to move the /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases directory aside,
and replace it with a file, containing something like:

default:Bug database:/usr/local/com/gnatsdb.

Alternatively, you can use the '--with-gnats-dblist-file' configure option to
specify a different location for your databases file.

I have written more detailed instructions about setting up
and running GNATS in a separate release of GNATS that I've
been working on, which I'm hoping will be adopted by the
GNATS development community as the next release of GNATS.

Try downloading the GNATS-DBI release available from

    http://professional.juniper.net/gnats/

You'll find alot of useful information in the INSTALL file
which should get you going. If you encounter additional
difficulties after reading the INSTALL file, let me know
and I'll try to help you further.

Mel,

just so you don't lose heart from the lack of response.

This looks extremely useful and is something I have been wanting for a 
long time. Unfortunately, I am too tied up at the moment to be able to 
look at this as closely as it deserves. I hope to be able to play with 
it closer to summer.

Again, thanks for what is likely to be the most important GNATS 
development for a very long time.

Thanks for your response.

I've had a little interest...based on my analysis of our web
server logs...but nowhere near as much as I was hoping. :-)

The SQL backend has actually turned out to be extremely useful.
Not only have we managed to perform some configuration changes
that would otherwise have been almost impossible, but we've
leveraged the work to setup views into our PR datastore,
allowing external vendors to access subsets of our PR data.

We're also about to setup a search engine (UltraSeek) which has
an Oracle interface, to provide token based searching of our
PR datastore. This will significantly enhance our PR search
capability by essentially providing us with a way to query across
all our multitext fields in next to no time.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your review.

Thanks again.

Ditto. I'm going to be looking into this in the near future, and am 
really excited about this new development from Mel.

Bugzilla has been gaining a lot of popularity, and I think one of the 
reasons might be its use of a DB backend.

Yes.  I wrote the attached script to change the Responsible: field of 
reports after a colleague left.

It does a lot of checking on files and also on its arguments, but the 
trick is to create a little temporary file that does the replacement 
(using the UNIX editor "ed"), have $EDITOR point to it, and then call 
edit-pr for each report.

(I used this idea for other purposes, too.  E.g., when we were shifted 
from Siemens to Infineon I needed to adjust all our mail addresses, and 
I used the opportunity to also cleanup the X-GNATS-NOTIFY: lines from 
obsolete addresses.)


Note that this still stems from the GNATS 3.11x times; the line
	pr_list=`awk ...`
will not work with GNATS 4 (the index file is now a binary format).  The 
line extracts those reports that belong to the old responsible and are 
not closed.

But I think this should get you started.


Have a nice weekend,

Hans-Albert

Thanks for doing this work on extending GNATS and making it available.
Unfortunately I have not been committing enough time to GNATS to take
on rolling your work into the next version of GNATS.  I hope that by
stepping down as maintainer I will clear the way for a better new
maintainer to take this on.

That sounds good.  Supporting a free software database such as MySQL
may be important in getting the changes accepted, since GNATS is a GNU
project.

Hi Everyone,

I regret that I have not given GNATS the effort that it deserved.  In
recognition of this I have decided to step down from the GNATS
maintainer role.

Would anyone like to take GNATS maintenance over?  It would be great
if someone could take on incorporating the work that Mel has done on
multiple back-ends for GNATS.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped me in my role,
particularly Yngve, Milan and Mel.  I am sorry that I have not done as
much to maintain GNATS as I should have.

Subject: Expected behaviour for absent fields
Message-ID: <20040329121031.491a0f4e.adrian.ashley@broadcom.com>

I have a GNATS-4 installation with a number of additional fields in the
database.  In this example, "fix-rel" is one of these - defined thusly:

field "fix-rel" {
    description "fix release"
    text matching { "^$" "^(VE|IP)(_[0-9]\+)\+$" }
    textsearch
}

i.e. the empty string or specially formed tag names are allowed.
The other thing to note is that this field isn't included in the
initial-entry fields.

One of our users reports a peculiarity: a query like this:

  $ query-pr --expr \
      'category=="foo" & <more clauses> & (fix-rel != "VE_6")'

doesn't match PRs for which this field is not yet set - and there
doesn't seem to be any way for him to work around this.

Looking at query.c:fieldCompare() and field.c:get_field_value(), it
seems that the latter returns NULL for a field which is not yet set, and
the former concludes that if either of its field values are NULL, the
comparison must be false.

It looks like the right fix is in fieldCompare(), to cope with NULL
meaning empty.  Has anyone been near this code and could advise whether
I'll be breaking something else by doing this?  Or is the problem that
my database has fields that can be unset - am I breaking some rule?

Thanks,
Adrian Ashley

Hello.  It is possible to add a new database to Gnats outside of 
GNATS_ROOT?  Basically, I have an install of gnats-3.113 with the 
standard /usr/local/share/gnats/gnats-db/ configuration and need to add 
a new database.  Would it be best to reorganize my databases as folders 
inside GNATS_ROOT?  I was unable to find specific documentation on this

Thank you, Victor.

It's inclusion in the 'index' fields is also relevant here.
Based on your observed behaviour, I assume that it's also
not defined as an "index" field.

[ The reason this is relevant is that all fields defined in
   the "index" are assigned an empty value in the index, when
   a PR is added to the index. Subsequent GNATS queries will
   use the index to determine the field value, and therefore
   a NULL value wouldn't be returned. ]

Your observation is correct.

A NULL value typically means "undefined" and, IMO, GNATS is doing
the right thing. Generally speaking, a query against an "undefined"
value should never match...there are other examples of such behaviour
(e.g Oracle) and I think this might also be described in the SQL
standard.

One way around the problem you've observed is to assign a default
value for the "fix-rel" field, however, this is currently unsupported
for "text" fields, unfortunately.

Given the relatively small size of the fix-rel values, I
suggest you might want to try adding the field to the "index"
as a work-around. This should address the query problem you have
and won't otherwise be much of an impact on your existing
configuration.

Hopefully, someone will find the time to add support for
"default" values for "text" fields for the next release.
This would be a better solution, IMO.

Thank you for the service you've provided to the GNATS community!  I
certainly appreciate it, having used gnats at two separate places of
employment at least. ;-)

I might step up to the plate if I can convince my employer, the
University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences, to allow some
development time on GNATS during the daytime hours.  I have a general
aversion to spending too much time on the computer at home when I work
on it all day. ;-)  So far the work I've done for the Debian packages,
albeit limited so far, has been OK'ed.

Likewise!  You're all great! ;-)

That's true.

Is this a Feature?  Perhaps the fact that a field is defined in the 
index ought to have a side-effect of setting its value to "" if there is 
no default?

I did this, and it works.  Thanks.

I'm glad to hear that you are considering taking on the GNATS
maintainer role, thanks.  I hope the discussions with your employer go
well.

Andrew, thanks for stepping up and getting version 4.0 out as
a general release. This has served the GNATS community well and
we appreciate it and your involvement in the project.

I have a fairly demanding schedule which makes me a little
reluctant to volunteer....and the discussion with my employer
wasn't as favourable as I'm hoping Chad's will be.

In any case, I'm happy to continue supporting the project and
providing some personal development cycles. It'd be really
neat if I could take a more active "developer" role in the
project...my schedule may not afford me the time for maintainer
but I think I could provide valuable development cycles.

Message-ID: <000801c418d3$d45fc9f0$6401a8c0@larry>

Hello -

After setting up Gnats version 4 and Gnatsweb, everything seems to work yet I still get the email bounce back from an external mail server (outside world).  I found in the documentation where I should change GNATSS_ADDR to cure that, but it seems the 'config' file that contained this value has been replaced.  Can anyone give me a good suggestion on how and where to put a valid email address on outgoing Gnats email to prevent the bounce back in version 4?

Amongst the companies he registered was GOLDENBERG COMPANIES,
Which he uses as front for funds deposit, he made a transfer of $76,000,000.

	Hi, my name is Lauren. I'm writing to tell you all about an experience, that
changed my life. Ever since I was 10 I started to put on some extra pounds School
was a disaster, I was put down every day because of my problem and received
the weirdest looks from people around me. As of one month ago I weighed in at
345 pounds.

	I've honestly tried just about EVERYTHING possible to help, nothing ever seemed to work for me. Three weeks ago, I decided to buy a patch that was being sold online that supposedly eliminated pounds within weeks of usage. I was rather skeptical about this newest idea in weight loss, but like always I went ahead and gave it a shot. I am happy to announce I have lost 35 pounds within ONE month of using this system already! The best part about THIS system is that you can eat whatever you like and not have to exercise. Today I weigh 310 pounds and losing every single day that passes by.

	I have never, ever been happier in my whole entire lifetime. It's bringing me hope and slowly my self-esteem to a better level.

	If you have similar problems as I, I RECOMMEND you to take a look at the link below! It is the exact same company I bought my patches from.

Subject: GNATS debian package cleanups
Message-ID: <20040405222907.GJ10707@wookimus.net>

Ugh..  gnats Makefine.in files strike again!  Looks like the gnats and
gnats-user packages for Debian have some odd path problems[1],[2].
Adding a $(DESTDIR) variable preceeding install and mkinstalldirs path
locations and mkinstalldirs locations fixes this.  The debian/rules file
should then be able to specify a DESTDIR for the installation target.

Here's where we come to the kicker.  I originally wanted to simply "fix"
the debian/rules file, but since it was originally constructed, the
Debian build utilities and scripts have vastly improved.  Much of the
custom scripting necessary to make the gnats and gnats-user packages is
now obsolete.

Additionally, there are some fundamental differences in how packages are
designed.  There is a lot of duplicated effort between the gnats and
gnats-user packages.  Currently, there are few differences between them.
The gnats-user package contains mostly the same files as gnats, which
contains a few more files and additional scripts to add system users,
cron jobs, and aliases into the MTA aliases file.  I plan on changing
the dependencies between these two files.  Rather than having gnats
conflict with gnats-user, gnats will depend upon gnats-user and perform
the additional steps to set up the machine as a server.

I really wanted to get a quick fix in the archives, but I believe that
there is no such thing.  I may as well put in the initial work to "do it
right" so that further maintainence is minimized.

The patches for the gnats Makefile.in files are attached.  I'll roll
them into CVS if there are no objections.

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.

Message-ID: <20040407154546.GA30144@wookimus.net>

I've talked with my supervisor about stepping up as GNATS maintainer.
He is willing to allow 5% of my time at work to contintribute to the
project.  However, there are a few hoops I have to jump through before
anything is official:

    1. I have to talk to the UMN Copyright Office to find out what their
       stance is.  Can I contribute?  Will they allow me and my
       supervisor to sign the FSF release?  Do they need to sign it?

    2. If the Copyright Office gives the OK, we need to get the OK from
       the Assistant Dean of the College.

If all this goes well, that still means only 5% development time in a
40+ hr work week.  Is two hours per week enough?  Obviously, to make
that an effective use of time, I'd have to block it off from other
activities.  I'm already adding personal time for the Debian packages
(although I have the OK to work on software we use for purposes of
installation and maintenance, it's not "officially" development time).

I'll keep you all posted.

Note that the send-pr.conf file is not part of the GNATS install...it's
something that the GNATS administrator must manually setup.

The idea of setting a default Submitter-Id in send-pr (which is what
install-sid exists for) assumes a usage model for GNATS in which
multiple separate organizations are filing PRs against a centralized
GNATS datastore, and each organization is equipped with a send-pr which
identifies it for PRs submitted from that organization.

In an organization running it's own GNATS server, the submitter-id
is generally of limited value.

Considering the first usage model (multiple disparate organizations
filing against a single GNATS repository), is is useful for the
centralized GNATS server to identify where the PR originates.

Now that we have that out of the way, we can begin to consider why
install-sid is around. It's a question of how send-pr is installed.
If one wanted to supply a single version of send-pr that could be
distributed to many organizations, say, as part of a standard set
of OS utilities, one obviously, cannot assume a submitter-id. How
would the submitter-id be defined for each organization?

Before the send-pr.conf file it probably seemed appropriate to have a
"random script" for defining the default submitter-id in send-pr if
one was not already defined.

Now that we have send-pr.conf, I suggest we get rid of install-sid and
modify the send-pr error message (referring to install-sid) so that
it instead, references the send-pr.conf file.

As for organizations running their own private GNATS server, the GNATS
installer ought to use the '--with-submitter' and '--with-organization'
configure options to setup appropriate defaults. This will allow them
to operate without installing a send-pr.conf file. Of course, there's
no harm in using one in any case, though I prefer not to install files
unless it's necessary.

I agree. Install-sid was essentially part of the old, badly done and 
badly documented, gnats client install system containing mkdist and friends.

By the way, looking through the GNATS docs on www.gnu.org, it is obvious 
that I've been lazy. I'll get the final v4.0 docs uploaded in the 
various relevant formats in the near future.

That's probably not that big a problem. I think it is much more 
important that you are able to regularly spend two hours a week, instead 
of, say, a full day every fifth week. That way, people who submit 
patches or contribute otherwise aren't put off by long periods without 
any feedback.

IIRC, you could override the methods in gnatsweb.pl by writing an
equivalent sub procedure in gnatsweb-site.pl.

I agree with Yngve, I think two hours per week is enough, particularly
if it is regular (and it is more than I have been applying to GNATS).

We should amend this and provide a default (commented out) conf file.

Agreed! I've already excluded its installation in the new Debian
packages. ;-)

Further updates, I've been in a run-around with the U's Copyright and
Patent offices.  Both have shuffled me off in reference to the other and
to the Legal Counsul's office.  However, the basic message I've
interpreted is "we don't care."  I haven't talked to Legal yet, but my
supervisor and I are under the impression that if I work in the capacity
of a maintainer, folding in patches and making minor contributions (bug
fixes, etc.), that we shouldn't draw the gaze of the legal eye of the U.

IOW, there is very little interest in code that is not financially
exploitable by the U, so if I don't make major contributions during my
time at work, there will be no conflict of interest.

I need one more OK before I can commit my work time.  I'm still working
on the Debian packages at home to bring them up to date.

Message-ID: <20040415122435.GB12184@nandakot.anu.edu.au>

Hi Yngve and Chad,

One important outstanding issue with GNATS is the bug database.  After
the main GNU host was cracked in August last year the GNATS database
was unavailable.  I have started looking at getting it back on-line again.

Two key problems are (1) recoving the data from the old database and
(2) identifying a machine that can host the GNATS database.

I have sent a message to the GNU sysadmins and received a response.

Regarding recovering the old database, they asked where the data was.
I guessed it would be in /usr/local/com/gnatsdb or /usr/com/gnatsdb.
Yngve, do you recall what directory the GNATS database on fencepost
was in?

Regarding running the GNATS database on fencepost, the response included:

Chad, was my response to the question about the stable Debian package
correct?

The Linux virtual hosting service I was thinking of was on jvds.com.
They have a plan that is USD 12.50 per month, I would be happy to pay
this for a year if it would help get the GNATS database online again
quickly.  What do you think about using such a service for the GNATS
database?

Excellent news. I put a bit of work into a similar effort some months 
ago, but I was unable to get a useful response from the fencepost 
admins. They were probably swamped trying to restore other stuff at the 
time.

I seem to remember that nothing was in default locations and I remember 
that the configure command line was extremeky long. I think /var/lib is 
a likely candidate.

If we get a properly maintained Debian package, as looks likely now, 
with Chad's efforts, that would be the way to do it. I am still pretty 
sure we would need root access, though.

I think we ought to push hard to get this on fencepost, because that is 
really where this belongs. If that proves hard, I should be able to host 
it on one of the Debian boxes in my own basement. It is currently hooked 
up to a 1600/512 ADSL connection with a fixed IP address.

Yes, the stable (and testing, I think) package of gnats will work fine.
The unstable package is broken because of the $(DISTDIR) problem.  I
wasn't able to work on the packages last weekend, but I should be able
to find some time this weekend.

Knock on wood, and I'll be able to start putting time into GNATS during
the workday.

Overkill.  GNU servers and/or savannah should be able to provide us with

There's nothing magical about root with respect to gnatsweb or gnats.
Without Mel's patches, gnatsd runs from (x)inetd, and gnatsweb runs as
the apache user (www-data on Debian).  gnatsweb-site.pl can be linked
into /usr/lib/cgi-bin from anywhere and given any permissions we need.

Additionally, fencepost admins can give us sudo access for those
components we need access to.

Likewise.  I'm gearing up an older Ultrasparc 5 to be my 'Net server to
be colocated in a friend's basement (with a dedicated DSL connection).
Additionally, I have a friend who's hosting my current domains and
wouldn't have any problem with hosting a gnats database.  (I need to
donate a bit for his new server anyway.)

In other words, we shouldn't resort to paying some virtual hosting
services just yet.  Between Yngve, myself, and FSF there should be
plenty of network resources to leverage.

Hi,

When I Enter 'send-pr' from the command line, EMACS auto-loads the PR
template and I can edit and send the PR just fine.  However, most
documentation indicates that I should be able to use run it from within
EMACS by 'M-x send-pr' but I get the message "No Match".  Also 'C-c C-c'
doesn't work either.  Right now, I send the report by exiting EMACS,
saving it and typing "s" to send the report.  It correctly interacts
with the DB and e-mails accordingly.


I'd appreciate help with this problem.

Thanks,
Randy

OK, I will focus on getting things set up on fencepost.  If it turns
out there are significant obstacles with using fencepost we can look
at alternatives.

Message-ID: <A13B47F8EC3FD111A91500C04FD2A28205269F98@exchange.elca.ch>

Hello,

As explained in gnatsweb.pl, the size of the query string is limited by the
browser to approx. 2K. That's why we want to strip the empty parameters.

This patch brings following changes to this:
- correct a bug where the striping was incorrect
- added a function to do the striping
- use that function everywhere, even where the striping was not done yet

With these changes, the URLs are now correct and as short as possible, even
in the return_url parameter.

This patch also removes the ability to store a query when the displayed
result is already the result of a stored query. This also leads to longer
query strings and could make the cookie unusable.

Regards
-- Alwin

I believe 'root' access isn't necessary for GNATS provided you have the
following things setup prior to installation:

   - (x)inetd
   - a 'gnats' user/group on the server
   - an install directory owned by gnats:gnats

Indeed....and even with my patches, you can still run GNATS this way,
both for the flat-file backend as well as the database backend.

[ Running gnatsd via (x)inetd with a database backend though isn't
advisable, given the database connection cost for each client request. ]

Sorry to contact you in this manner. Difficulties encountered in efforts to secure funds inherited from my fathers business reserve, necessitate this search for someone to assist me.
My name is Mohammed Abacha, the heir of the abacha family, and son to Sani Abacha, the Late Nigerian Head of State. I am presently undergoing trial in Abuja though have just been recently granted bail under the condition that my family refunds to the Federal Government some amount of money.
To save the family from total bankruptcy I have managed to ship through a courier company, the sum of US$12, 000,000.00, kept by my late father. This money has become the only inherited property of our family since  the government and its loyalists are bent on making life difficult for us by freezing all the family account and has auctioned most of our properties.

The money has since been deposited with a private finance and
security firm in Europe. I am willing to offer a percentage agreeable to you. All other information required to secure the funds will be given to you pending a positive response.
A quick reply with your name,telephone and fax numbers will be highly appreciated.
Please refer to this website about my trial and the abacha family.

Sincerely yours

Mohammed Abacha

Hi Randy,

Sounds like gnats.el is not loaded.

Try 'M-x eval-expression' which should prompt you for the expression 
to evaluate. Type
	(require 'gnats)
(Note the single quote.)

If this works, add lines like this to your ~/.emacs or 
~/.xemacs/custom.el (or whatever initialization file your emacs 
uses):

(autoload 'send-pr "gnats" "GNU GNATS 4.0" t)
(autoload 'gnats-dbconfig-mode "gnats" "GNU GNATS 4.0" t)

If it does not work, also add

(setq load-path
	(cons "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"	;; or whereever gnats.el is
		load-path))

to that (X)Emacs init file.

Does 'M-x gnats-apply-or-submit' work? As '^C-c ^C-c' should be bound 
to this function, this would mean that either the keymap does not get 
installed, or it is being modified.


Hope this helps,

Hans-Albert

PS: Please reply to the list, as I am not too (X)Emacs-savvy, and I'm 
expecting to be very busy during the week.

Message-ID: <4083979B.8010307@cisco.com>

Hello,

I'm evaluating gnats to see if it can help our group keep track of issues we 
find without modifying our current model too much.

I've been reading the following thread:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnats/2001-12/msg00026.html

and it remains unclear to me what gnats would do if the original submitter also 
CC'd other parties in the PR submission. I can understand that gnats would 
create a new PR, etc. But suppose one of the other recipients responds with 'Re: 
<original subject line>', will gnats create a new PR? or is there some logic 
(which I couldn't find) that says:

1. look we've got a Re:, meaning it's a response to something gnats may already 
know about
2. it turns out in the last X days, there is a synopsis of <original subject 
line>, this must be the same PR, let me append...

is there anything like that? I understand in other environments, this may create 
all sorts of problems, but it probably wouldn't in ours...

After adding the following lines to my .emacs file and issuing the

server info":

;; Enable GNATS interface
(autoload 'send-pr "gnats" "GNU GNATS 4.0" t)
(autoload 'gnats-dbconfig-mode "gnats" "GNU GNATS 4.0" t)
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" load-path))



The message "Wrong typr argument: processp, nil" is displayed when the
command 'M-x gnats-apply-or-submit' is given.  


Thanks.

IIRC, there is nothing like that.  You're talking about the initial
submission.  Although most replies will contain the original subject,
the current file-pr program only looks for either the "PR#" string or
the "CATEGORY/#:" string.  It does not look at the subject and query the
synopsis for matching PR's, although that would be a wonderful feature.
It also does not have any "thread logic" to tie emails together.

These are both very good features to request/code.

Message-ID: <A125AF3F419E97458A237BE2484C3C8B10069F4F@pluto.msdc.hcltech.com>


Hello:

I am trying to write an export/ import utility for gnats. My strategy is
fairly simple. For every defect to be exported, just copy
<gnats-install-directory>/com/<category-name>/<defect-id> to the new target.
The problem is with index file entries. The following is a typical entry in
the index file:

^@?^@^A7^@^@^Gpending^@^@^Fniyazm^@^@^Kgnats-admin^@^@^Dopen^@^@^Cyes^@^@^Hc
ritical^@^@^Dhigh^@^@
1082445490^@^@^A0^@^@^A0^@^@^Fsw-bug^@^@^MMohamed Niyaz^@^@^@^@^@\a long
synopsis for the sixth defect.....to find out what the numbers in the index
file mean^@

My question is how can I create this index entry in the target? I could
write a program to copy just that part of the file, but the problem is the
number "1082445490". And, also I am sure that wont be the cleanest way.
Could somebody please give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Niyaz.

I don't see why not.

Define "minimum patch level".

The programs are relatively small, especially if you compile them
dynamically linked.  The size of the database will be proportionate to
the number of reports you expect to receive.  Each problem report is
stored in a separate file on the filesystem in plain-text.  The format
of each report is a modified RFC822 Internet message, and is fully
compliant with that standard.  These PR's are not compressed, but can be
archived and aged.

Currently, we have just over 3000 problem reports in our database
directory.  All of these were received over email, and MIME attachments
were not removed (so a significant portion of the space used is a result
of spam and viruses).  The space consumption is currently around 21MB.
This could probably be reduced by at least one third if we
re-categoriezed many of the "pending" PR's to "spam" and removed them:

5.9M    pending
3.4M    spam
1.8M    email
1.6M    pc-sw
1.3M    server
1.3M    mac-sw
1.1M    gnats-adm
772K    website
736K    general
496K    pc-hw
488K    network
392K    windows
348K    macintosh
248K    mac-hw
228K    printer
192K    novell
124K    lists
108K    mmaker
68K     biosci
40K     projects
32K     web-cgi
16K     security
16K     gnats
8.0K    glycine
4.0K    gnats-queue
4.0K    mcb-xserve
108K    test

Taking a quick cursory glance over the vast majority of problem reports,
space consumption falls around the 4k mark, the typical block size for
most filesystems.  Space would be recovered here on a filesystem like
reiserfs, which specializes in storing many small files.

Some quick math would reveal that for every 1000 Problem Reports, on
average you should be consuming 4000 blocks or 4000KB of space.

Additional space savings could be realized through MIME
filtering/conversions of submitted emails through procmail filters.  We
already block emails larger than 50KB in size.  Some emails are sent
with both plain-text and HTML attachments, and some are HTML-only.

Our procmail filter is attached to give you some ideas on how to handle
such things.

Subject: Required Field Validate on Edit PR
Message-ID: <4098FA9E.6040803@broadcom.com>

Hello,

I have the following in my State field

    on-change "State[type]==\"feedback\"" {
         require  { "Custom_Text" }
    }

How does Gnatsweb verify that the Custom_Text field is filled in when 
the PR is modified? I'm unable to get the validation to work. In other 
words, when I change the State to feedback, Gnatsweb does not check to 
see if Custom_Text is filled in before the PR is submitted. Thank-you 
for your help.

Thanks,

Ray Tran

Hi Ray, ....

> 
>    on-change "State[type]==\"feedback\"" {

The above clause may be something different to what
you're expecting. The "State[type]" specifier is where
the confusion may lie, in that it does not denote the
value of the State field in the PR but something entirely
different. To help explain what State[type] refers to,
here's an excerpt from some documentation I've written:

| Fields of type enumerated-in-file consist of colon delimited
| subfields - these define the format for each line of the file
| containing the enum values. Each line of this file can be
| thought of as a record with associated attributes.
|
| The subfields define meta-data attributes of such enum fields.
| For example, the 'category' field consists of the following
| subfields:
|
|    * category (the primary key)
|    * fullname (the description
|    * person   (the primary responsible)
|    * notify   (a list of email recipients to notify)
|
| The first subfield of each value of an enumerated-in-file field
| is always the primary key for the field (it defines the set of
| valid values for the field).
|
| The subfield specifier is only valid for enumerated-in-file fields
| and is used to refer to a particular subfield value when used as a
| suffix to a field name. For example, the query expression
|
|    category[person] == "fred"
|
| will match all PR's whose value for Category is a member of the set
| of category values whose person subfield is equal to "fred".

You can get the entire contents of this documenations from:
http://professional.juniper.net/gnats/query_internals.html#O_FieldMod

To require the Custom_Text field whenever the value of State
changes to "feedback", remove the "[type]" specifier from your
on-change clause above.

Once you've modified the on-change clause as suggested above, attempts
to submit a PR without a value for the "Custom_Text" field will generate
an error, whenever the State field changes to "feedback"....something
along the lines of "Required field Custom_Text missing from PR".

[ Note: My answer above is making an assumption that you don't have a
   State type of "feedback"...if this is not the case, please accept my
   apologies for the incorrect assumption. ]

Subject: gnats and gnatsweb problems
Message-ID: <409FAEEF.5040405@millersweb.com>

Hello

I have been using gnats for a while on my local machine.  I have been 
using it through local command line, send-pr query-pr etc.  Lately I 
have decided to add gnatsweb so that gnats can be accessed through a 
browser.
My gnats was 3.999 and I have upgraded to 4.0.
I have downloaded gnatsweb-4.00.

I have run
   perl -MCPAN -e 'install CGI'
   perl -MCPAN -e 'install MIME::Base64'

with no problem.

When I run make test  I get the following:
connect...........................................FAIL
 
Gnatsweb was unable to connect to the GNATS server.
 
There are several possible reasons for this.  Start off by checking
that the USERNAME, PASSWORD and DATABASE parameters you supplied are
valid.  If they are, there may be a problem in the configuration of
your GNATS server.  Check your GNATS installation, particularly the
host access files (remember that the web server needs access to the
GNATS server), then run the tests again.
 
make: *** [test] Error 9
[david@lnx101 gnatsweb-4.00]$ telnet localhost 1529
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.


gnatsd.host_access has the following:
*:listdb:
localhost:edit

gnatsd.user_access has the following:
gnats:*:admin

/etc/xinetd.d/support has the following:
service support
{
   disable = no
   socket_type = stream
   protocol = tcp
   wait = no
   user = gnats
   server = /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
}

/etc/services has the following:
support        1529/tcp    prmsd gnatsd    # GNATS, cygnus bug tracker

To do a telnet to localhost works fine.

If I telnet to localhost 1529 I get the following:
[david@lnx101 gnatsweb-4.00]$ telnet localhost 1529
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[david@lnx101 gnatsweb-4.00]$

Where do I look next?
I am running on a Fedora 1.0.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Queryproblems
Message-ID: <40A32E5F.EB250097@vodafone.com>

Hi,

i just installed gnats-4.0 and gnatsweb-4.0. gnatsd is running and seems

to be working fine.

But ...

I installed the default database, but left it alone, then i installed a
second
database called 'plami' and customized it (added access rights, added
users, etc).
Then i added a test pr in the class 'support'.

Now when i do the following:

    query-pr -d plami --expr 'Class=="support"'

everything is fine and dandy. I get the info to my pr.

When i try to to the same in gnatsweb it doesn't work!
On the first try i received the following answer:

    Return code: 415 - Invalid expression.

After turning on the client_debug mode, I got the following output:

    client_cmd:
    rset
    client_cmd:
    qfmt "%s%s%d%s%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
%Z}D%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z}D%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z}D%s%s"
builtinfield:Number Notify-List Category Synopsis Confidential Severity
Priority Responsible State Class Submitter-Id Arrival-Date Closed-Date
Last-Modified Originator Release
    client_cmd:
    expr '((! builtinfield:State[type]="closed")) & (State~"^open$")'
    Return code: 415 - Invalid expression.

After some experimenting, it seemed to me that the parentheses seemed to
be the problem.
(Also I found a thread in the Mailinglist complaining about the operator
'~'. One should use the
operator '==' instead) So i changed the relevant lines in submitquery
and appendexpr. The reply
was ok, so i thought everything was fine until ...

Well i wanted only the pr's that are open, so i unchecked "Ignore
Closed" and got the following reply:

    client_cmd:
    rset
    client_cmd:
    qfmt "%s%s%d%s%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
%Z}D%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z}D%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z}D%s%s"
builtinfield:Number Notify-List Category Synopsis Confidential Severity
Priority Responsible State Class Submitter-Id Arrival-Date Closed-Date
Last-Modified Originator Release
    client_cmd:
    expr 'State=="open"'
    client_cmd:
    quer
    Return code: 220 - No PRs match.

This really is NOT what i expected! After some further experimenting it
seems to me that the
expression is not really evaluated at all.

My System is Solaris8 and i'm using either Netscape7 or Firefox0.8.

Anybody can help,  please ...

Regards

Message-ID: <E1BOZ3r-0002Nq-5n@monty-python.gnu.org>

This mail is an automated notification from the patch tracker
 of the project: gnats.

[patch #3056] Full Item Snapshot:

URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=3056>
Project: gnats

Summary:  GNATS does not use the builtin name "originator" in file-pr.c

Original Submission:  We have renamed the field Originator and got the following stack trace of the gnatsd.

#0  0x40078f81 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x40078c44 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0x40079ffd in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6

    err=0xbffff94c) at file-pr.c:145
#5  0x08053222 in submit_pr (database=0x8072410, fp=0x8088308, err=0xbffff94c)

#7  0x0804aa43 in serverMainLoop () at gnatsd.c:929
#8  0x0804ad75 in main (argc=1, argv=0x4017bae4) at gnatsd.c:1073
#9  0x4006754d in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

The bug seems to be in file-pr.c where the field name is used instead of the builtin name. After applying this patch it seems to work.

We use GNATS 4.0.

Subject: Updates: Debian packages, Maintainer status
Message-ID: <20040522011249.GB7139@wookimus.net>

Just wanted to update you all on where I'm at.  I've unfortunately
stalled on the debian package.  I'll likely push out a small change to
the package just to get a working install over the broken packages in
unstable.  I still want to finish re-writing the package, but in the
interest of expediency (um...), I'll hold off.

As far as my involvement as GNATS Maintainer, I apologize for the
lengthy wait.  I finally got confirmation that 5% (2hrs/week) is OK.

With that in mind, I tried to set myself up for ssh access to the GNATS
CVS, but for some reason my version of ssh (3.8.1p1-3 on Debian
testing/unstable) does not work at all with Debian Woody daemons.  I
believe savannah.gnu.org is running on Debian Woody, as is my ISP.
Neither servers are available to me through publickey authentication.
savannah does not allow password authentication, only ssh public key.
That puts me between a rock and a hard place, making it impossible for
me to apply patches.

So, in the interim, I'm going to open up my GNU arch archive this
weekend.  More details to come.  (They'll probably be at
http://wookimus.net/~chewie/chewie@wookimus.net--gnats-2004)

I've a similar problem to that described in the "too many 'changed' entries"
thread...

Whenever an unaudited field is edited, such as category or description, a blank
line is appended to the audit trail, and emails are sent to all responsibles.
Format of the mail is as defined in
As the resultant email is relatively content free, I'd like to avoid sending
these emails.
I'm running a stock gnats 4.0 and gnatsweb 4.0, on solaris 2.7, apache2.  I
didn't see this behavior with gnatsweb 3.6 and gnats 3.113.

Any hints on how to fix this would be most appreciated.

One thing that worked well on gnatsweb 2.6 was creating a multiple category
query by cntl-clicking several categories, and then doing a search, and then
saving the query.

On gnatsweb 4.0, I can do the search and save the query, however resubmitting
the query yields a result with only one of the categories.  Has anyone else seen
this, or have a solution?

Note that this isnt specific to the category field; any field where an attempt
to query multiple values of a list, such as responsible or state, is affected.

Subject: Scmbug
Message-ID: <1085962119.1380.0.camel@syd.mkgnu.net>

Greetings.

I'd like to announce Scmbug, a tool providing integration of Source code
Configuration Management with Bugtracking. It is meant to be a universal
tool that can glue any source code version control system with any
bugtracking tool, for all platforms.

In the current development release, Scmbug supports integrating CVS with
Bugzilla. The intention is to integrate other source code version
control tools (e.g. Subversion) with other bugtracking systems (e.g.
gnats) in a consistent and more flexible manner other independent tools
currently do so (e.g. Tony Garnock-Jones' cvszilla from
http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/~tonyg/, Steve McIntyre's integration from
http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/cvs-bugzilla/ ).

I would encourage developers and users of integration glue to contribute
to this general integration tool, rather than continue the fragmentation
of individual tools attempting to resolve the same problem.

The latest development release is available at:
http://www.public.asu.edu/~makrists/scmbug/

Regards,
Kristis Makris

I think the biggest complaint people have is over GNATS poor
understanding of MIME.  Currently, much of this can be avoided through
the use of procmail scripts and auto-responders.  I have a custom
procmail script that does a pretty good job of filtering out marked
spam, viruses, and overly large emails.  HTML-only emails are converted
to text, and emails that fail to enter the queue are saved to separate
mail folders.  If you're interested in the RC file, just send me an
email and I'll forward it to you. 

MIME-handling enhancement is one of those big TODO's that would bring
GNATS around to modern email technology.

While we're discussing GNATS email functionality, I have a couple of
major enhancements to offer:

   - I've replaced the hard-coded mail-format references in the code
     with a new "trigger" element which makes it possible to define
     any number of mail-formats per trigger event. I've defined four
     trigger elements: on-create, on-edit, on-append and on-delete.

     This was accomplished with a fairly small change to the dbconfig
     which involves the addition of a mandatory 'trigger' clause at
     the beginning of each mail-format body. For example:

        mail-format "appended-email-response" {
          trigger on-append
          from-address {
          ...
        }

     Furthermore, each trigger can have an optional expression defined
     for it, making the mail notification conditional on PR state.
     For example:

        mail-format "initial-pr-notification-pending" {
          trigger on-create "Category==\"pending\""
          from-address {
          ...
        }

     With this change, it's possible to define any number of mail-formats
     in the dbconfig file and place constraints on when the mail notification
     occurs. This is proving to be a very useful enhancement wrt work-flow.

   - With the assistance of a work colleague, I've made some significant
     changes to queue-pr providing an "edit-via-email-submission" feature.
     This is enabled using an "enable-edits" command line option to queue-pr.

     With "enable-edits" defined, the mail message is parsed for special
     edit directives placed at the start of the message body. These edit
     directives are of the form:

     @gnats <field> [= | +] <value>

      or

     @gnats <field> + <multi-line
     ....value>
     @gnats

     With this change, it's possible for queue-pr to update more than just
     the Audit-Trail. This is helping us to spread out all the valuable data
     captured in the Audit-Trail into other fields, significantly enhancing
     our query capabilities. We've also used this to build our own request
     system (along the lines of RT) using GNATS.

I'd be happy to contribute both patches for review and possible inclusion
to GNATS if people are interested.

I'd also be happy to assist with an integration of these features to the
GNATS code...if the folks with commit priveleges see fit to provide me
with access to the CVS repository.

These features look useful indeed, and I would strongly recommend that 
Mel gets CVS access.

One more thing, though. We should have a strict policy of keeping the 
docs up to date in synch with code checkins, and especially when 
significant changes are made to such basic things as the dbconfig 
system. So please update the manual when this is checked in. Don't worry 
too much about the wording and layout, that can always be fixed later. 
The important thing is that we can trust that the info is in there 
somewhere when the manual gets prepared for a release.

I sent him email about getting an account on savannah.gnu.org.  In order
to get CVS access, you need to import your ssh public key into your
account settings on savannah.  Then ask for membership to the group from
one of the administrators listed (which I need to ask you or Andrew to
appoint me to, BTW).

> One more thing, though. We should have a strict policy of keeping the

Absolutely.  The only way to keep documentation current is to stay on
top of it.  I tried using the newer cvs2cl last night to update the
ChangeLogs, but the formatting is off.  It would probably make sense to
have a changelog target in the root Makefile.in so that we won't have to
remember how to reinvoke it every time.

Additionally, the cvs2cl doesn't pick out details that weren't placed in
the cvs log entry, such as the enclosed function name in some entries.
I'm not sure such detail is THAT important, but it's also possible to
update the log entries to contain that information too.

Perhaps it's time to add in log templates and a user list to the CVSROOT
for username-to-emailaddress resolution; perhaps an AUTHORS file should
be created.

On to the TODO file...  I use this very nice console tool called
devtodo, executed as "todo".  It creates an outlined TODO list saved in
XML format as ".todo".  Each subdirectory can have it's own .todo file,
and it's fairly simple to remap your shell "cd" command to display the
TODO list for that directory when you change into it.

In any case, I'm working on rewriting the current TODO file in the root
source directory using this devtodo tool.  We can start organizing some
of the feature requests and prominent bug fixes to a release schedule.
For example (off the top of my head, not referencing the current TODO
list):

    GNATS General TODO List
    1. Release 4.1
        1. Prepend $(DESTDIR) varibles to each install target (Chad)
        2. Clean up send-pr (Chad)
        3. Add missing manpages
        4. Update Documentation
    2. Release 4.2
        1. Mail handling enhancements (Mel)
            1. Mail-based manipulation of GNATS DB (Mel)
            2. Trigger-based mail format replies
            3. Enable To: PR#[DATABASE]@host.domain.tld syntax to queue-pr
        2. MIME Handling
            1. Convert HTML to TEXT
            2. Detach Files Appropriately for GNATS DB format
        3. Add RDBMS Backend Support (Mel)
            1. Oracle Support
            2. DB Abstraction layer
    3. Release 4.3
        1. Mail handling enhancements
            1. Maintain mbox archive of all emails
            2. Fake Audit trail entries as emails and append to mbox archive
            3. Continue to use existing PR datafile for logging events,
               keywords, and metadata
        2. Account Enhancement
            1. PAM authentication

So on, and so forth. ;-P

OH, about the New Maintainer portion of the subject...  I am officially
appointed as the New Maintainer of GNATS!  I will be putting in at least
2 hours per week on the project, but realistically it'll probably be
more.

So, I suppose it's time to start thinking about what we would like for
our next release and plan accordingly.  Mel, I look forward to merging
in your enhancements!

Just a side note to anyone interested.  I'm starting to use GNU Arch

CVS, including the GNATS CVS repository.  If anyone is interested, I can
mirror my GNATS arch signed repository to a publicly accessible site.

Congratulations on your appointment as maintainer! I have given you 
Project Admin permissions for GNATS on Savannah.

The TODO section looks good and very useful. I think you have captured 
well the different themes and suggestions that have come up lately, and 
the prioritization and separation into releases looks about right (I 
think 4.2, with RDBMS backend support, would be better named 5.0, but 
that we can argue about later).

I hope to be able to do some doc work beginning late summer, but please 
don't stick my name on the TODO doc items yet -- I am not yet sure how 
much time I will have for that.

Never mind, I fixed it. I am not sure if it was populating the

Excellent! I've started work on the PostgreSQL backend to supplement
the Oracle & Flat-File backends which are currently supported by the
gnats-dbi enhancement.

I plan on setting up a savannah account sometime next week...I have
too much going on at work this week. Thanks for the pointers.

Congratulations on your appointment as the New Maintainer of GNATS!
Also, thank you for being prepared to take on this role.  I am sure
you will do a much better job as maintainer than I have been recently.

Sorry, I don't know a better place than the mailing lists (other than
the FAQ and documentation on the webstie) to get help for setting up
GNATS and Gnatsweb.

However, in the last few days the mailing lists have been reconfigured
so that posts by non-members are moderated.  Hopefully this will
significantly reduce the amount of spam that reaches list subscribers.

One thing is definitely certain, the number of emails I get each day for
bounces and caught messages by the list has gone up. ;-)  Ahh...  The
joys of being a list moderator. *grin*  Time to set up a procmail
filter. ;-)

Chad,

  Is anyone signed up for adding PAM authentication support yet? If not, 
I can sign up for it.

No, no one has signed up for this yet.  I placed your name in the TODO
list and updated it in CVS.  I don't plan on making ChangeLog entries
for these files (.todo and TODO), though I will note the changes made in
the cvs log entry.  Welcome aboard!  I look forward to getting your
patches!

Subject: ChangeLog Entries
Message-ID: <20040614170654.GH3528@wookimus.net>

We haven't talked much about how we want to manage the CVS repository or
log entries.  I've realized that the ChangeLog's have been maintained
manually and that applications such as cvs2cl can not be used in the
manner that matches GNU Coding Standards. [1]_  As such, we will have to
require that any changes made to source files and documentation MUST be
accompanied by a ChangeLog entry in the respective subdirectory.

.. [1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_40.html#SEC40

That being said, we don't need to require ChangeLog entries from patch
submitters, but we do need to create the entry manually.  It's possible
to create templates for cvs log entries, but I'm not sure how much that
will help us out.  Perhaps we should note this in the documentation for
GNATS developers.

Subject: Email CVS changes to gnats-commit manually
Message-ID: <20040614171611.GJ3528@wookimus.net>

Well, it looks like I don't have access to configure the CVS repository
just yet, so I won't be able to reinstate the cvs commit emails we used
to receive via gnats-commit and gnats-diffs.  I've sent email to the GNU
systems administrator for help.

Until we get that reinstated, it would probably be a good idea for
people to send email to gnats-commit manually with their updates.  You
should expect a summary email from me sometime today with the changes I
recently made.

Subject: The TODO list and planning a release schedule
Message-ID: <20040615192846.GG19638@wookimus.net>

I figured I'd throw this out for discussion to see what people feel are
priorities for the GNATS software and what type of release schedule we
should try to hold to.  The following list is the text output of the XML
.todo file that has been checked into CVS.

I'm fishing for comments here, so please let us know what your
impressions are.  I've copied in almost all of the old TODO list into
the 'Unassigned' list item.  These are trivial to reparent to different
releases.  If a task isn't "assigned" to someone, it's because this is
still a work in progress or because no one has mentioned interest in it.

Also, our GNATS database, although recovered from the old fencepost
backups, has not been reinstalled or reinstated.  Consider every release
a bugfix release, although notable ones may show up on this list.  I'm
awaiting a fencepost account, and we have requested that the GNATS
database be installed and restored to its former glory from the GNU
sysadmin's.  Adam or I will keep you all posted.

A '-' in front of a list item indicates it's finished.

As far as a timeline, I would like to start preparing a 4.1 pre-release
ASAP.  There have been some CVS updates since the original 4.0 release,
and it's a good time mark the codebase before branching off for the big
changes in 4.2 and 5.0.

        the fields to full" is a rather obnoxious requirement).  There should also be a "raw"

     11.Make it possible to include adm field contents in the configuration file, instead of
        always using an external config file.
        Added: Fri Jun 11 14:42:59 2004  Completed: incomplete
        Duration: incomplete  Priority: medium

     12.The database state is not clean.  There should be a struct that describes the current
        database, and is passed around as needed.
        Added: Fri Jun 11 14:43:22 2004  Completed: incomplete
        Duration: incomplete  Priority: medium

     13.The client state is not clean.  The API is horrid; clients should not know or care if
        they're communicating via the network or locally.  The original solution was to just
        allow network access, but that's not really fixing the problem.  (We'll know we're there
        when gnatsd can act as a relay.)

        is, something to describe the client (its hostname, username, password, access level). 
        Could eventually allow for a single server process that handles multiple connections.

Let me rephrase that.  We should probably branch releases and leave the
trunk as the development branch.  In which case, we tag the trunk for
the 4.1 release as release_4_1, then create the maintenance branch as
release_4_1_branch.  Patch releases to the 4.1 series would then be
tagged from that branch: release_4_1_1, etc.

We don't need to get carried away with judicious branching, but if you
feel comfortable using a branch to work on feature enhancements, please
feel free to do so.  Let's leave the trunk for merging.  For example,
Mel is planning big changes, so perhaps he branches off the trunk as

    {featurename|author}_{revision-branching-from}_dev
    
And, when you're ready to merge to the trunk, merge from the trunk to
get the updates and tag (with '_merge') after conflicts are resolved.
Then whoever is in charge of merging to the trunk will pull from that
tag.  Once merged, we can tag the target trunk/branch with a "_merged"
tag.

Ideas?  Overkill?

I know CVS operations to savannah are a bit slow, but it's workable.
What do you all think of judicious tagging?  i.e.  Tagging the
merge-points of bug fixes or feature additions?

Hi Chad, thanks for putting this together...it's a great starting point
for where we're going next. I have more comments below, but before we
delve into them, let me first say thanks for stepping up and taking on
the role of GNATS maintainer.

While we're here, if you try building from a directory other than
the top-level source directory, say by creating $topdir/objdir
and running ../configure from the objdir directory, the --with-submitter
and --with-organization configure flags end up getting ignored.

I've got a fix for this...which basically involves removing all
references to the DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION and SUBMITTER macros from the
$topdir/gnats build files - thereby preventing the config-send-pr
target from screwing things up for send-pr.

I've also got a patch for the doc/Makefile.in so that no attempt
is made to build the info targets if the 'makeinfo' program cannot
be found.

Finally, it'd be really cool if we could add 'make test' to the
build/install process. The real difficulty in achieving this, IMO,
is that there's no way to run gnatsd without first installing it
...since it looks for the databases file. Perhaps adding a command
line switch to gnatsd for specifying the path to the databases
file would work around this limitation.

I've put together a regression test suite which I may be able to
work into the build process. Unfortunately, it uses a small perl
component for setting up the database which will need to be
reworked as a shell script.

All the above are good. I need to dig around...I have many bug
fixes to provide. Since they've been made in the context of the
gnats-dbi project I've been working on, it's going to be a little
bit of a hassle finding them all and putting patches together.

I'm not clear on #3...can you elaborate.

Also, I've recently implemented something else you might find
valuable...it's a filter which you can apply to a mail-format
for limiting the list of recipients. This is useful in the
context of a view into the PR database...which is possible
with the Oracle backend.

e.g. You might allow a certain class of user to create PRs
but wish to prevent that class of user from receiving particular
GNATS mail notifications.

The feature is also useful in preventing mail loops.

The dbconfig syntax (which is entirely optional) is as follows:

mail-filter "foo" {
     # don't allow email to fred
     deny "^fred.*"
     # allow foo internal email addresses
     allow "[[:alnum:]._-]\+(@foo\.com)\?$"
     # all other email addresses are disallowed
     policy deny
}

mail-format "initial-response-to-submitter" {
     trigger on-create "Category!=\"sw-tools\""
     ...other mail-format elements
     apply-filter "foo"
     ...other mail-format elements
}

The above example would restrict the initial-response-to-submitter
notification so that it would only go to users with a foo email
address (or a non-qualified/internal address).

I like these...I started scoping this using the MIME::Parser and
MIME::Decoder perl modules but didn't get very far. MIME handling
could also support an attachment feature which I would love to
see added to the project.

You might want to add PostgreSQL as a 3rd item. I've started putting
this together.

The development for the Oracle backend is pretty much done...we've been
using it at Juniper for about a year and no additional effort has
been required. This will largely be a matter of review and integration.

A 4th item for Release 5.0 features might be support for transactions.
After doing away with the need for a global gnats lock (using the
Oracle backend), it has become an interesting challenge to see how
far one can go in removing the need for a user to take out a PR lock.
In organizations with large user bases and large numbers of PRs,
the current method of having an edit client lock the PR is sub-optimal.

Need more information - what is this?

While we're here, together with a work colleague, we've revised the way
'required' fields are implemented. Our primary motivation was to simplify
the way they're expressed in the dbconfig and also to enhance the validation
logic (check_pr) so that missing required field errors are caught prior to a
PR being submitted.

This feature does away with the requirement to have an "on-change { require }"
clause in each required field along with a "require { field }" clause in the
initial-fields section of the dbconfig. These are replaced with a simple
"required" flag in the field definition.

We're adding an optional condition to this flag...so that it's possible
to have conditional required fields. The value of doing it this way
is that the dbconfig syntax required for defining a required field is
localized to the field definition and not spread out in different
areas of the dbconfig. This makes it very easy to follow the "required
field logic" in the dbconfig and assists the GNATS administrator in
preventing errors.

Hmmm, this reminds me of another feature I've been considering.
It'd be valuable to investigate the use of non-numeric PR ids.
For example, a 3 letter prefix to the PR number might provide
a useful way to route PRs to a specific GNATS database.

Or, at least bounce the user into a second edit session to specify the reason.
The current method of prompting the user for the reason provides no avenue of
escape if the user decides they want to change a line above.

I would argue that they should *not* all be required. Configurable yes...this is

I've grown rather fond of fconfigl.l ;-)

Extending on these unassigned items, it'd be wothwhile considering how one might
go about creating dynamic views - i.e. to narrow down on applicable field values based
on the selection of other field values. As an example, when class is set to 'hw-bug'
only show the h/w categories to the user. This would obviously be handled (or not)
by the client, however, before considering how the client does this, we should
consider how we can capture the necessary information to allow the client to
implement this. I think the dbconfig would be the right place to capture this
and have some ideas about how this might be expressed (which build on the filtering
idea I presented above for mail-format recipients).

Finally, it's also worthwhile considering a PR version feature. Often times, a PR
manifests itself differently on different platforms, or is in different states for
different releases. I've put together a rough draft of a design document for
how this might be done...which I'd be happy to share with you after I review it a
few more times.

The fixes are certainly welcome.  I'm not the most familiar with
autoconf scripts, but I have a feeling I'll become much more intimately
knowledgeable in the near future. ;-) I think there could definitely be
some improvement and streamlining to the build process.  I always found
it confusing why we have multiple configure scripts instead of just one.
Something to look at, anyway.

Great suggestion!  I would suggest these types of feature enhancements
go into the 4.2 release.

Take your time.  Unless it's a critical functionality fix, security fix,
or simple fix, it should probably be moved to later releases anyway.

The listserver munged the email address.  Let's try it in a way it won't
easily recognize my intention:

    prnumber-AT-domain-DOT-tld

I would love to queue off the PR number directly, the same way that the
Debian BTS handles bug tracking.  It's far, far easier to parse a number
than subject lines.  The whole "CATEGORY/PRNUMBER:" is difficult for me
to sell, even our staff.  I have one co-worker who refuses to send email
to help--at--domain--dot--tld because she can never remember (refuses to
remember) that syntax requirement.  Were I to CNAME the bug server and
send to prnumber-AT-help-DOT-domain-DOT-tld

I would love to leverage the GNU Mailutils project for these
mail-handling libraries.  Perhaps item 2.2. should be titled "MIME
Filtering" so we could define rules based on MIME type of the
submission.  Additionally, these MIME features could be held off until
after your big DB abstraction and rolling in your existing fixes and
features.  Let's take advantage of what we have before extending our
reach too far.

Should we hold this off until 5.1, or do you think this support could be
rolled in with the DB changes you've already made?

Honestly, I don't know.  All of these "Unassigned" items were in the old
TODO list.  I didn't even go over them in detail.  If some of the
old-school developers could pipe in, we may gain some more insight.  If
I had to guess, I'm assuming that conditional formats may mean
flow-control logic.  if-then-else and while-do statements?  Not sure if
this is needed.

Again, not sure.  I'm assuming that it's an implication toward the
database format itself.  There are many fields that we don't touch as a
Help-Center tool.  We just want to know the Originator, a description of
the problem, and have a way to assign the problem to techs.  Since we're
not doing Accounts Receivable, trying to track time, or categorizing bug
types (much), a slimmed down database would really help.

Or simply a UUID generated hash, but then that gets to be too
"difficult" for end-users to deal with.  Although a 3-letter prefix
specific to the database may be useful when routing PR's for multiple
databases through the same host name in emails.

    To: pfx-prnumber--at--host-domain-tld OR
    Subject: PFX-PRNUM: Blah blah blah

The cagetory is mostly useless for determining what identity of the PR
is.

I agree.  Perhaps someone could shed some light on this one?

Probably a legacy TODO that didn't get scratched off the list.  I'll
remove it.

Again, not sure.  Anyone?  I don't see any reason why a local client
can't talk to gnatsd through the local loopback device.  I don't know of
a modern operating system that doesn't work perfectly well this way.
IMHO, the clients should only operate through the daemon.  Let the
daemon handle locking issues and file permissions rather than relying
upon client knowledge of the filesystem.  We can take a closer look at
this and see what the current state of the code is.

Integrating libreadline into console clients would help this out.  Allow
the user to decide when to enter an external editor (i.e. the 'v' key in
vi editing-mode).

Good idea.

I think we should probably include a discussion document on planned
features that correlate to the TODO list.  DevTodo is a pretty nice
piece of software to manage lists, but it does have a way to go before
it's comment feature is well integrated.  Perhaps a TODO.Discuss or
TODO.Readme to which developers could add the "Why's" and "How's" would
be valuable.  I know not everyone is proficient with texinfo format
docs, but we could push these reasons into gnats-dev.texi document.

Message-ID: <40D5BE7A.2080503@earthlink.net>

I'm attaching a patch for enabling PAM authentication support.

To keep the patch file small, I've not included the diffs to the files
'configure' and 'gnats/configure'. Use autoconf to generate these two 
files. If you need the generated files, let me know and I'll create 
another patch.

PAM support can now be enabled by using '--enable-pam' switch to configure.

With PAM support enabled, you can put an entry in the gantsd.user_access 
file as:

   <user>:$p$:<access-level>

  and the authentication for the user will be done against the 
configured PAM modules.

  The name of the PAM service is taken from the DEFAULT_GANTS_SERVICE 
define, so by default it should be 'support'. Hence, you can configure 
PAM by creating the file /etc/pam.d/support on RH Linux.

  I've tried to make appropriate changes to the documentation. Let me 
know if any other document requires update.

  I've done some preliminary testing on my RH 9.0 Linux. Please let me 
know if there's any problem with it.

The biggest problem I have with PAM support for
gnatsd is that you will now be sending a
credential across the network in the clear which
is presumably able to be used as a credential
outside of gnats. This could lead to a simple
password replay attack to gain access to systems
by unauthorized individuals or their agents.

I strongly urge you to first include and enable
SSL (or TLS) support in gantsd before you allow
PAM to be used to authorize connections.

Agreed. This is definitely something that should get on the TODO list
for gnatsd.  Alternatively, there are ways of tunneling TCP connections
over secure channels, so I don't think the lack of gnutls integration
should exclude the PAM patch.

We should make it abundantly clear in the documentation that use of PAM
authentication should be thoroughly protected.  If such measures cannot
be taken, don't enable PAM.

Additionally, we can't always assume that because something uses PAM,
it'll authentication against system accounts.  There are dbm modules,
ldap modules, etc. that can be used for account management.

While I do understand that it is *possible* to
enable PAM and not endanger other applications or
systems. I also understand that very few people or
organizations will consider keeping such things
separate in such a safe configuration unless the
documentation clearly states that there are
security implications to be considered.

Yes, I am being paranoid. right now it seems
fairly clear that gnatsd authentication is not
very strongly protected. Folks are more likely to
believe something is 'secure' if it can talk to
PAM even though there may be explicit basis for
that belief.

Thanks for the patch!  I'll try to test this out later this week.  If
anyone else would like to do some testing, it would be appreciated.

We can continue this discussion about security and gnatsd.  I'll add a
Security Enhancement in the TODO list for 5.x releases.  We can decide
whether or not we want to hold off on the PAM addition until TLS and/or
SASL is introduced with TLS being of higher priority than SASL.  I vote
to allow it, but document the warnings and possible solutions regarding
security.

Feedback, ideas, rebuttals?

Subject: Plans for 4.x... 5.x
Message-ID: <20040621153351.GB28731@wookimus.net>

I'm going to try to push for the 4.1 release soon-ish, so we can start
branching off for the 4.2 or 5.0 release.  Perhaps mid to late July.
I'm going to SANS security training from June 25 to 30, so I'll be
unavailable most of that time.

I know I added some tasks to the 4.2 release that we do not have code
for just yet, such as the MIME handling.  I'm inclined to wrap in those
features being submitted by Pankaj and Mel first and worry about new,
uncoded features for later 5.x releases.

Would you LIKE to see an interim 4.x release that incorporates some of
smaller changes before the new database API Mel will be submitting for
the 5.0 release? (i.e. PAM integration and Mel's format hooks)

Feedback, thoughts, ideas?

You wouldn't by chance be using an older version of gnatsweb with a
newer version of gnatsd, would you?  Could you give us a little more
insight and detail as to where you're seeing this error?

I'm guessing you're getting this error in gnatsweb. If so,
gnatsweb is not handling the error returned from gnatsd
and is giving you the "catchall" message.

The easiest way to determine what is wrong is to telnet to the
port gnatsd is listening on and issue your command(s) directly
to gnatsd. This requires a little familiarity with the GNATS
protocol, but it cuts out all the middleware and you can see
the exact reply from gnatsd.

[ The GNATS protocol commands are fairly straightforward to use.
   Just enter 'help' and you'll see the list of available commands. ]

Otherwise, please provide a little more information about
what it is you're doing to get this error...is it a query,
a PR create, edit, etc.

Hi there,

Thanks guys. I simply get the error on the start page on gnatsweb.  When 
it ask you to Login:


  Login

Unparseable reply from gnatsd

Unparseable reply from gnatsd

Database:

The drope down menu for tyhe databasses it empty. Can't see why though. 
Should be a few there. Anyone got the commands to check the version of 
gnatsweb and the version of gnatsd?

Thanks again,

Depends upon where it's installed.  With Debian packages, you type 'dpkg
-l' and grep for gnats.  On Red Hat, I believe you use 'rpm -q'
commands.  If you installed them by hand, look at the version on the
tarball.

All else fails, telnet to the host port:

	shell$ telnet localhost 1529
	Trying 127.0.0.1...
	Connected to localhost.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	200 host.domain.tld GNATS server 4.0 ready.
	QUIT
	201 Later.
	Connection closed by foreign host.

and read the banner version for gnatsd.  For gnatsweb, grep the source
code file (e.g. /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl) for VERSION.

	shell$ grep -n VERSION /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl
	41:$gnats_info_top %site_pr_submission_address $VERSION);
	243:$VERSION = '4.00';
	1249:X-Send-Pr-Version: gnatsweb-$VERSION ($REVISION)
	2970:      . "Gnatsweb v$VERSION, Gnats v$GNATS_VERS"

Use the gnats from testing.  I'm going to ask the archive maintainers to
remove 4.0-3.  I'm back from SANS training this week, so I'll have time
to finish fixing up the new gnats packages.

Is your port open?

IIRC, that's not likely a good thing to do.  That would open up access
to anyone and their brother to modify the gnats database.  I will leave
that as an exercise for the local systems administrator.

Subject: telnet localhost 1529: Connection closed by foreign host.
Message-ID: <20040710060945.62029.qmail@web51004.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,
Perhaps someone has some idea of what might be going on here...
I've installed gnats 4.0 and gnatsweb from the contrib dir.
and I'm running everything on the same machine.
The problem is:

$ telnet localhost 1529
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

(and I can telnet to, e.g., port 80 with no problem.)
I've looked through all the documentation several times but this
really has me stumped.

in /etc/services I have:
support		1529/tcp			# GNATS

I created a file /etc/xinetd.d/support:
# GNATS daemon
service support
{
	disable = no
	socket_type = stream
	protocol = tcp
	wait = no
	user = gnats
	server = /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
	server_args = gnatsd

Subject: gnatsd: Segmentation fault (closes telnet connection)
Message-ID: <20040712062735.4699.qmail@web51004.mail.yahoo.com>

Regarding my message on the 10th,
the telnet connection is being closed because 
gnatsd crashes immediately whenever it's run:

$ telnet localhost 1529
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

$ /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
Segmentation fault
$

This happens for user gnats and for root.
(I suppose I didn't try this before because, e.g.,
query-pr seems to work OK and I assumed it was
something to with xinetd config or the like.)

GNATS version 4.0, Fedora Core 1, 2.6.5 kernel

I saw no errors in compiling or installing GNATS 
and I used the default options.

Has anyone any ideas?
Regards,
Michael

OK.  I don't know what kind of bug pinched me, certainly wasn't a
radioactive spider, but I hacked away on the /debian directory for quite
some time tonight.  All of the cleanup I promised months ago is finally
coming to fruition.  There are still issues to deal with.

In any case, I'm bushed, and I still have to get up tomorrow.  I'll try
to upload 4.0-4 to Debian "experimental" by the end of this weekend.
Hopefully, the changes I've made will fix many of the pathname problems
we've been having.

You know.  I'm looking a little closer at this and noticed that I don't
have that file at all on my installation at work.  Instead, gnatsd
consults the database administration directory for ``gnatsd.access``.
i.e. /etc/gnats/db-config/default/gnatsd.access

Anyway, I'm doing some quality testing on the new gnats_4.0-4 packages
to make sure that a default database is indeed created if none exists.

Subject: New Debian package... just uploaded to experimental.
Message-ID: <20040715220446.GB26554@wookimus.net>

Just a heads-up.  I've uploaded packages gnats-user and gnats version
4.0-4 to experimental.  Below is the excerpt from the NEWS.Debian file.
I used a much of the content in the debian/scripts/* files in generating
the new maintainer scripts.

In any case, please test this package out and let me know what you
think.  Hopefully we can polish this up enough to push it through to
sarge.  There is only one bug holding back gnats from sarge right now:
#241416.  That's not to say I didn't introduce any more, but let's be a
bit optimistic for now. ;-)

gnats (4.0-4) experimental; urgency=low

  The Debian packaging for GNATS has undergone a huge booster shot, with an
  almost complete rewrite of the ./debian directory.  The package now brings
  to bear useful tools such as debhelper and cdbs for construction.  Patches
  were made to the Makefile.in files in the GNATS source itself in order to
  resolve the "incorrect paths" problems that has been plaguing the 4.0 series
  of packages.

  There are still many bugs that need to be ironed out with respect to file
  placement in packages and what to do about default configuration files for
  user-tools installations.

  One noticeable change is the dependence of that gnats-user package by the
  gnats package.  Previously, these two packages conflicted with each other.
  I am attempting to remove redundancy and simplify the build process by tying
  them together.  You may yet see a third package, gnats-common, in the near
  future.

  Also added was the Localization support for the debconf templates.
  Translators, please submit your *.po files for inclusion.  Thanks!

  Please report any problems you have with this package to the Debian Bug
  Tracking System.

Message-ID: <20040716152538.GD15157@wookimus.net>

The packages gnats-user and gnats haven't progressed out of the incoming
queue [1]_ just yet.  They were compiled in a testing/unstable
environment, so they should work in a likewise installation.  You can
download them manually and install with dpkg.  Install gnats-user first,
since gnats depends upon it.

REMEMBER, THESE ARE EXPERIMENTAL.  BACK UP YOUR GNATS DATABASE BEFORE
USING.  YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. ;-)

There is one catch that I'll have to resolve this weekend; one I forgot
about.  The old gnats package conflicts with the gnats-user package (any
version).  So use the "--force-depends" option for dpkg when installing
the new packages.  AGAIN, BACK UP YOUR DATABASE. ;-)

Hi everybody!

I just hope I'm posting this on the right place... (first time posting

Just wanted to ask if anybody has been able to install GNATS under 
Fedora2. Are there any
issues between these two?

Thx in advance.

I don't believe there are any issues between GNATS and Fedora 2.  The
installation instructions for GNATS can be found on the website under
Documentation.  Let us know if you run into any difficulties.

Message-ID: <1E09EDF4D32AF546AE969F0F13F387AD34ED2B@exch-ls.atcwan.com>

I have done a default install of gnats 4 and gnatsweb 4 on Fedora core
1.

I have followed the install instructions to the letter.  I can telnet to
localhost 1529 and run the gnats help and all of the commands there.
Also I can see the gnats webpage and interact with it.  My problem is
when I go to submit a pr on the web page I get a Error "Unparseable
replay from gnatsd".   If I manually try and send a PR from the command
line I get an unable to send error.  I know both of them are picking up
on the database being there, because it is filling in all of the
defaults that I have set in my database.

 

If any one has any ideas or a better way to trace down the problem
please I need help.

Thank you,

Steve

Glad to hear it.  Sorry I didn't get your post approved sooner.  I've
had a busy couple days at work.  Perhaps we can convince Yngve to
release a new version of gnatsweb. ;-)

I'll have a look at it when I return from holiday in a week or so. I am 
anxious to know if Steve was originally using the regular 4.0 release 
versions of both GNATS and Gnatsweb. If so, there is some kind of 
compatibility problem in there that we haven't heard of before.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Chad, as part of the code cleanup for release 4.1, I'd like
to contribute some function name changes and subtle code
re-organization in preparation for the gnats-dbi integration
(which I think we're going to fold into Gnats 5.0).

The name changes support the internal dbi api which I've put
together to define the interface between the higher level
GNATS functionality and the datastore specific stuff.

IMO, these name changes also make the code a little easier
to read and understand.

I just got back from a fairly long vacation, so, I'm going
to start putting the patches together and contributing them
to the help list for review. If everyone is happy with the
changes, I'd like to begin committing them into the 4.1 release.

Note: there will be no functional differences introduced.
This is purely a cleanup effort which will preserve the
existing threads of execution.

Let me know if you find this acceptable (or not). I think
that providing these patches in small chunks will make the
whole dbi project a lot easier to swallow and digest.

Looks like I screwed up and didn't approve your post to help-gnats.  I'm
trying to bounce it there now, but Mailman may recognize duplicate
Message-Id and quell it.  I'll forward it instead if it doesn't go
through.

Sounds like a good plan to me.  I'm not certain if you prefer to submit
patches for me to roll in, or if you want to use branching on the CVS
repository for savannah.  I'm open to either.

Can you run an strace of gnatsd?

  shell$ strace /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gnatsd.strace

If that doesn't give you any hints, perhaps, try compiling gnatsd with
debugging symbols.  ("-g -Wall" in the CFLAGS environment variable),
then step through the application with gdb.

  shell$ CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local ...

If you don't know how to use gdb, make a tarball of the core file and
your configuration files.  Post the URL for the tarball to the list or
send the tarball to my email address.  Please don't send large
attachments to the list if you can help it. ;-)

As I make changes to the dbconfig, I will get the "unparseable reply" error.
Running under debug=all, it appears that there is no response from gnatsd.
On the server there is no daemon running.

Is the recommendation to use the trunk instead of the released 4.00 version?

Does the gnatsd server log any failures that can be looked at?

I am running GNATS 4.0 on Linux - Red Hat 9.  I pulled the TOT and rebuilt
this morning.  I then run the daemon directly and I got a memory fault.  The
daemon fails with the following field "Comment-new" added to dbconfig:

field "Comments" {
    multitext
    read-only
}

field "Comment-new" {
    multitext
    on-change {
        append-to-field "Comments" {

    }
    on-change {
        set-field "Comment-new" {
            ""
        }
    }
} 

I issued the following commands:

lock 2511 stuart

Any ideas?

I'll be on vacation from the 5th (tomorrow) through the 9th of August at
a family reunion.  On top of that, my workstation at home is unusable
for the moment, making my private key inaccessible.  I made a few
changes to the gnats and gnats-user packages so that they build cleanly.

You can download gnats{-user}_4.0-6_i386.deb files at:

    http://wookimus.net/~chewie/debian

(Not apt-gettable.)

I've requested a fellow DD upload the changes as an NMU if I can't
obtain access to my key tonight.  I would really like to see these
packages in sarge, so any help you can provide, I would appreciate it.

See you in almost a week!

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

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.

Subject: Trying to install gnats on Fedora Core 2
Message-ID: <411A40E3.3000104@ctio.noao.edu>

Hello fellows!

I've been trying to install gnats4 on Fedora Core2, but so far no luck.

I have followed what gnats4 documentation says to install it. I 
currently have a working installation
on  a  Redhat 7.3  machine,  so  I've copied almost all config files 
from that machine to the one with
FC2,  I've  changed all those  lines  that  reference stuff from the 7.3 
machine so now they reference
stuff on the FC2 machine.

But when I try the telnet /host/ 1529 thing i get the "Connection closed 
by foreign host." message.
(It's not a firewall thing since i disabled it but still get the message)

I tried with gnatsweb, executing the command:
/make test USERNAME=gnats PASSWORD=kiLLer7 DATABASE=cissdb/

...and I get:

/connect...........................................FAIL

Gnatsweb was unable to connect to the GNATS server.

There are several possible reasons for this.  Start off by checking
that the USERNAME, PASSWORD and DATABASE parameters you supplied are
valid.  If they are, there may be a problem in the configuration of
your GNATS server.  Check your GNATS installation, particularly the
host access files (remember that the web server needs access to the
GNATS server), then run the tests again.

make: *** [test] Error 9

*I ran the configure script like this:*
configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnats4 --with-gnats-service=ciss-gnats 
--with-gnats-default-db=/usr/local/gnats4/com/cissdb

###################################################################################################

*On the gnatsd.user_access file we have:*

home dir on the same machine
                                                where I'm trying to 
install GNATS

*My databases file says:*

cissdb:CISS Bug database:/usr/local/gnats4/com/cissdb

*My gnats.host_access file says:*

same results
*.*:deny:                      <- I commented this one but I still got 
the same results
                                         I even changed from /none/ to 
/edit/...but still no luck

*the services (on /etc) file says:
*ciss-gnats      1529/tcp        prmsd gnatsd    # GNATS, cygnus bug 
tracker*
*
*and the ciss-gnats file on /etc/xinetd.d contains*

        socket_type = stream
        protocol = tcp
        wait = no
        user = gnats
        server = /usr/local/gnats4/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
        server_args = gnatsd
}

Thx a lot in advance!

PD: Has somebody installed GNATS on FC2 and succeeded?

Subject: gnatsd: Segmentation fault (closes telnet connection): Solution
Message-ID: <20040812064831.37808.qmail@web51007.mail.yahoo.com>


Note: I wrote the following before I saw Wolfgang Lunkenheimer's
solution - somehow I missed his last post in my search (and I
think I might have company there?!) It looks like he did more to
investigate the problem than I did and I haven't tried his 
solution but this may still be of interest....

Anyone replying to this, please CC me (I seem to have a problem 
receiving messages sent only to the list).

Problem:
--------
On Red Hat / Fedora platforms, there can be a failure to connect
to the gnats server (e.g. with gnatsweb) because gnatsd crashes
as soon as it is started.

Solution:
---------
When compiling GNATS on Red Hat / Fedora platforms, compiler
optimization must be turned off. To do this, either just specify 
the CFLAGS when running ./configure or, if you like, remove the 
"-O2"s from each of:

 ./configure
 ./gnats/configure
 ./libiberty/configure

There are two in each file. It may be that the problem will be
fixed by changing only some of these files but I don't think it's
worth checking when optimization is unnecessary anyway.

After this, run ./configure and make install in the usual way.
Finish installing gnatsweb in contrib/gnatsweb if necessary
 make install CGI_DIR=/var/www/cgi-bin/
(at least that's the CGI dir on my installation according to
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and I think it's the default contrary
to what gnatsweb INSTALL says), start httpd if not already 
running
 /usr/sbin/apachectl start
and browse to http://localhost/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl 


Though the fault may not lie with GNATS, I strongly recommend 
removing optimization for gcc from the default CFLAGS for the 
next version of GNATS.

Cause?
------
I'm guessing that the problem is something to do with Red Hat /
Fedora distributions - in any case, I notice that previous 
posts I found on the web describing apparently the same problem 
mention Red Hat or Fedora (Lorna Watts, David Miller, myself) 
where the distribution is specified at all.

For those who wish to investigate further, the stack trace is as 
follows (I didn't go beyond dumping it as I accidentally fixed
the problem by changing CFLAGS):

Just  wanted to say  that applying the solution on Michael Breen's email
"gnatsd: Segmentation fault (closes telnet connection): Solution" solved
my problem.

Hi

Does anybody have a recommendation on how to add an append-only comments
field?

I would like edits to allow new additions to the field and views to show the
whole field.

In edit.c, set_field is being called with old_value set to 0x00.



     if ((old_value == NULL && new_value != NULL)
         || (new_value == NULL && old_value != NULL)
         || (new_value != old_value && strcmp (old_value, new_value) != 0))
       {
         /* Ignore changes to readonly fields.  */
         if (fieldDefForIndex (field)->readonly)
           {
             fieldsChanged[x] = 0;
             set_field (new_pr, field, old_value, err);
           }
         else
           {

I am running GNATS 4.0 on Linux - Red Hat 9.  I pulled the TOT and rebuilt
this morning.  I then run the daemon directly and I got a memory fault.  The
daemon fails with the following field "Comment-new" added to dbconfig:

field "Comments" {
    multitext
    read-only
}

field "Comment-new" {
    multitext
    on-change {
        append-to-field "Comments" {
                "Comment added by %s  on %D\n\n%s"
                "$EditUserEmailAddress" "$CurrentDate" "$NewValue"
        }
    }
    on-change {
        set-field "Comment-new" {
            ""
        }
    }
} 

I issued the following commands:

lock 2511 stuart
editaddr stuart
edit 2511
<email with changes>

Next step is to get into the debugger.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Stuart

You're trying to connect to the subversion server for a CVS repository!
Bad! ;-)  Take a look at this site for instructions:

Hello.

This is my first mail to the list. I hope to help other people in the
future.

I'm looking for a user request system like Lotus Notes but free.
I tried gnats and i think that it's the best solution for my problem,
but I need a web interface for users. Gnatsweb it's ok for 20 clients
or something similar but perl cgis aren't the best thing for a big
request system, and here my question:

Does anyone know a program based in java servlets or something
similar(PHP) for a web based interface? if not, Could be the task
complicated?

Excuse my bad english, but in schools of my country english languge
class is a shit.

Regards,
Alvaro Cortes.

Ok, I have a working solution to get around two different problems.  The
Note has to be before Notes and Notes needs a default value.  I need to do
some more analysis to propose a code change.

Here is my currently working solution for an append field.

field "Note" {
    multitext
    on-change {
        append-to-field "Notes" {
"\n================================================\n%D  %s\n\n%s\n"

        }
    }
    on-change {
        set-field "Note" {
            ""
        }
    }
    on-change {
        add-audit-trail
    }
}

field "Notes" {
    multitext {
        default ""
    }
    read-only
}

Hi

Does anybody have a recommendation on how to add an append-only comments
field?

I would like edits to allow new additions to the field and views to show the
whole field.

In edit.c, set_field is being called with old_value set to 0x00.



     if ((old_value == NULL && new_value != NULL)

I am running GNATS 4.0 on Linux - Red Hat 9.  I pulled the TOT and rebuilt
this morning.  I then run the daemon directly and I got a memory fault.  The
daemon fails with the following field "Comment-new" added to dbconfig:

field "Comments" {
    multitext
    read-only
}

field "Comment-new" {
    multitext
    on-change {
        append-to-field "Comments" {
                "Comment added by %s  on %D\n\n%s"

        }
    }
    on-change {
        set-field "Comment-new" {
            ""
        }
    }
} 

I issued the following commands:

lock 2511 stuart
editaddr stuart
edit 2511
<email with changes>

Next step is to get into the debugger.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Subject: Append only field
Message-ID: <E1C0Qj7-0006zL-5z@lists.gnu.org>

I am interested in having an append only field.  When edited, the field
would be blank and any new text would be added to the field with the date
and user name.  The entries would have the newest first.  Perhaps the order
would be an attribute.  A template can be used to define the separation of
each entry.

This can be achieved partially by using on-change and a one line change to
gnatsweb.pr.  Editpr users would have to clear the "Comments" field for
every submission.  Is anybody working on an append only field?  Is there any
interest in such a field?


field "Comments" {
    multitext {
        default ""
    }
    on-change "Comments!=\"\"" {
        set-field "Comments" {
"================================================\n%D  %s\n\n%s\n\n%s\n"
                "$CurrentDate" "$EditUserEmailAddr" "$NewValue" "$OldValue"

        }
    }
    on-change "Comments==\"\"" {
        set-field "Comments" {
            "%s" "$OldValue"
        }
    }
}

The default email configuration for GNATS email is to set the reply-to to
"bugs" and have an email alias of bugs.  When I reply to a GNAT email, a new
PR is generated with the information in the reply.  I am using Red Hat Linux
8 with a fairly default sendmail/postfix configuration.

What should happen when you reply to a GNAT generated email?

Would the new message be added to the existing GNAT?

This shouldn't happen if you retain the subject heading from the
autoreply GNATS sent you.

It should be appended to the current problem report in the Audit Trail.

I found that the reply works for the "default" database, but not for other
databases.  When I reply to a message from another database, a new PR is
created in the default database.

I created a test database and used it for testing.  So the configuration is
the standard configuration.

Any ideas why it would create a new PR when the reply is using a different
database?

Thanks

I found that the incoming mail has to specify the database so I created a
new email alias that handles bugs for a specific database.  Then I had to
add a cron entry to process the queue for that database. 

The incoming responses are appended to the audit-trail, but I had set the
audit-trail to read-only so the changes were being thrown away.

machine.  I don't know why I seem to have such a hard time with this app.

gnats and let everything else in the Fedora gui add user tool take defaults.
did an su and became root.
coppied the tar file to /usr/local/src and did a tar -xzvf gnats-4.0.tar.gz
cd to gnats-4.0
Went in to the three mentioned configure files and removed the -02 from 
the CFLAGS in two different locations each.
make all info
 From another terminal window
su gnats
cd /usr/local/libexec/gnats
./mkdb default
It complained that it didn't have rights to create 
/usr/loca/com/gnatsdb.  NOTE: I don't remember the manual making any 
comment about this kind of problem.
I created /usr/local/com and changed owner to gnats:gnats
Went back to my terminal running as gnats and tried mkdb again.  This 
time it created the database.
In a root terminal window, I went to /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases and 
added the info for my database.
back at the gnats terminal window did ./mkdb site_manager and it created 
my database.
I had untared my archive in a different directory and now I overwrite my 
database in /usr/local/com with the one from my tar file.
using query-pr, etc I can work with my database.  This is the way that I 
have always had to do it.
I am now back to where I was on my old machine.
/usr/local/etc/gnats/gnatsd.host_access I added the line
localhost:edit:
I added the following in a file called /etc/xinetd/support

my machine and give someone the IP so that they can see my webserver

use, and may want the outside to be able to see it through port 80.  If 
gnats is to use email it would have to be routed through my pop mail and

copy the html file to /var/www/html and point a browser to it and it

First you need to determine why the daemon is not working, then the web and
then the email.

See if there is a process listening on the GNAT daemon "support" port.

netstat -an |grep 1529
  or
Netstat -anp >a  #then search for 1529 and verify that the next line is
xinetd

If it is not there then here are some things to check:

1.  Verify /etc/xinetd.d/support entry - below there is an extra gnats on
the server line

Here is my file

# default: on
# description: GNATS daemon
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service support
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = gnats
        server          = /usr/gnats/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
}

2.  verify /etc/services has the following line
Support	1529/tcp	#GNATS

3.  restart xinetd
ps -ef |grep xinetd
kill -HUP <xinetd process>





I used a different directory of /usr/gnats instead of /usr/local.

Here is a summary of my installation steps

-	Group gnats added
-	User gnats added
-	User gnats .profile modified to add dir to PATH
-	Directory /usr/gnats created
-	Gnats software - make and install
-	/etc/aliases updated with three new aliases
-	/etc/xinetd.d/gnats daemon created
-	/etc/services updated with gnats service
-	Perl updated
-	Gnatsweb software installed into /var/ww/cgi-bin
-	Gnats users crontab entry created


Files and directories modified:
-	/users/gnats created with user and group of gnats
-	GNATS user crontab entry
-	/usr/gnats contains all GNATS programs and data
-	/etc/aliases updated
-	/etc/services updated
-	/etc/xinetd.d/gnats created
-	Perl updated
-	/var/www/cgi-bin contains several gnatsweb files

Use the following URL to access the web interface.  The web interface will
fail if the GNATS daemon is not working as it uses the daemon.  Your web
server appears to be working as you can access a web page.  Your web server
may need to be configured to allow scripts to be run in /var/www/cgi-bin.
My Apache server for Red Hat Linux 8 & 9 came configured so I did not have
to make any changes.

Perl needs to be installed and available from the location listed in the
first line of gnatsweb.pl.  Perl may need to be updated as mentioned in the
install manual.

You can run GNATs without email access.  Email allows users to submit
defects and make queries via email.  Email also allows capturing replies to
GNATS email.  If you need email access you could see if your ISP provides an
email forwarding option or you could probably setup an automatic POP
receiver assuming that you have a dedicated email address(s) for GNATs.

Subject: Gnatsweb.pl login failure with Opera
Message-ID: <E1C47Ei-0000iT-Jf@lists.gnu.org>


Using Opera, the initial login returns to the login screen.  A refresh will
then go to the "main" GNATs screen.  "logout" has the same problem.  IE does
not have this problem.  The login reply is a refresh with a new cookie.  The
refresh is expected to make the same URL request with the new cookie.  I am
guessing that Opera does not behave the same as IE in this respect.  Perhaps
Opera is not passing the new cookie until the manual refresh.

Have others seen this problem?

Should gnatsweb.pl be changed to return the cookie with the "main" page
instead of causing the browser to initiate a refresh?

Does this make any sense?

It's been a while since I last dug around in this part of gnatsweb.pl, 
but you have certainly spotted a really headache-inducing area. I am 
pretty certain you could add an infinite number of browser-specific 
redirects here, but I am a bit surprised that Opera would fail to work 
with the methods already used.

The authentication system should probably be reworked and I am hoping to 
get a bit of work done this autumn. I have several changes pending that 
need to be applied in order to support some of the new features 
committed to GNATS after the 4.0 release. I have had quite a few 
interesting patches submitted to me over the last year, so it is 
probably time to start searching my inboxes and start doing some real 
work again, especially now that GNATS development seems to have accelerated.

Hi,

I got this error message:

I use gnats and gnatsweb.
I think this problem is just a configuration problem but I can not find the
answare. How can I increase the size of attached file option.

Thank you

Subject: Latest GNATSWEB
Message-ID: <E1C4lLi-0008Bo-Uc@lists.gnu.org>

I used the following command to pull the latest version of gnatsweb:

export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnatsweb co gnatsweb

It appears to not contain the changes from 2003-07-29 and the version is
"3.99.4".

Is this the current version of GNATSWEB or should I be pulling it from
another location?

Thanks
Stuart

Hi guys!

Need your need!

GnatsWeb seems to be coding the e-mail attachments wrong. Any binary 
format seems to come out like:

There is a special section on MIME on the GNATS home page
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/ .  See
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/mimedecode.html

Text follows:

GNATS > DECODING MIME E-MAIL 

A well-known problem for many users of GNATS is that MIME-ified mail
messages are handled badly by GNATS. MIME is a standard way for "rich"
content to be transferred by e-mail . This content might consist of
arbitrary attachments with content such as images, sounds, executable files
or plain text. A typical MIME e-mail message contains a plaintext part
first, and then one or more parts containing attachments.

Currently, GNATS makes no attempt to decode these messages. This is
especially noticeable when letters such ?, ?, ?, ? etc. are used in the
subject field of PRs submitted by e-mail. Such messages get a synopsis
containing the rather ugly looking string "=?iso-8859-1?Q?", underscores
instead of spaces and the special letters themselves replaced by strings
such as =F8, =E8 etc. In the message body, all special characters are
replaced by =XX strings. These strings are commonly referred to as quoted
printables. Thus, quoted printables will also be present in the Description
field of the PR if the message body contained international characters.

Most modern e-mail clients decode MIME e-mail messages properly, removing
the iso string, translating underscores back to spaces and quoted printables
to their special letter counterparts. However, GNATS does not contain
functionality for this, so e-mail messages are filed directly into the
database without any translation.

Another big problem arises when users submit PRs by e-mail, containing
attachments. Those parts of the message that contain binary data is simply
dumped as long encoded blocks of data into the PR description, together with
whatever plaintext the message might contain.

The easiest way to solve this is by placing a parser script at the beginning
of the line in the GNATS mail alias that pipes messages into queue-pr. The
following Perl script uses Perl MIME modules to decode the message. It fully
decodes headers and bodies of messages, stripping out parts of a message
that are not plain text, decoding those parts and saving them to an archive
directory. Separate directories are made to hold the contents of each
message. A reference is then inserted into the original message, stating the
location of the saved file. The parts of the message that were originally in
plaintext get their quoted printables translated and are otherwise left
alone.

In order to use the script below, you need to download and install the
following Perl modules on your system. Get the latest versions listed on the
following pages:

MIME-Base64

my $output_path = '/path/to/archive/directory';
my ($parsed) = (basename($0))[0];
my $parser = MIME::Parser->new();

# Permission mask for output files.

  }
  # The decode above does not do underline-to-space translation:
  $line =~ tr/_/ /;
  $transheaders .= $line . "\n";
}

# Reconstruct the message, made from headers and the MIME text parts
# we saved earlier. Add references in the message body to the non-text

print $transheaders . "\n";

foreach $file ($parser->filer->purgeable) {
    # Strip trailing spaces from filenames:
    $file =~ /(\S*)\s*$/;
    $file = $1;
    if ($file =~ /\.txt\s*$/) {
        # We have found a plaintext part. Include it in the new body:
        open PART, $file;
        while (<PART>) {
            print;
        }
        close PART;
        # Build list of files included in the new body. We will delete
        # these files further down.
        unshift @purgeables, $file;
    }
    else {
        # We have found a non-plaintext part. Add a reference to it in the
        # new body:
        print "\n\n** Attachment decoded and saved to \n** $file\n\n";
    }
}

# Make the list we built the new list of purgeable files:
$parser->filer->purgeable(\@purgeables);
# Delete them:
$parser->filer->purge;

umask $oldumask;

 

Set up the mail alias which receives bug reports to pipe messages through
this script before it is piped into queue-pr. Like this (you should modify
the path to queue-pr to fit your installation): 

| /path-to-script/script.pl | /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -q
Warning: Using this filter causes PRs to be stored in the Gnats database in
a decoded format which might not be supported properly by all UNIXes.
Outgoing mail from GNATS will also be unencoded, possibly resulting in
problems when mail is transferred over the Internet. Some mail clients may
also have problems with it. In short: your mileage may vary.

I have been trying tirelessly to get Gnats to work and I think I've
found the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.  The following
occurs:

telnet localhost 1529
User <my username> <my password>

Returns
	user access level set to admin

Edit <pr #>

Returns
	640 can't open file `'

Any idea on what couldn't be causing this?  I have set the permissions
on the "lock" directory to 777 and the owener is gnats and the group is
bin.

Thanks

Hm. It's been far too long since I did work on this, but it seems 
something went wrong when branching for the 4.0 release. 3.99.4 is only 
a few very minor changes away from 4.0, though. Anyway, I will of course 
look into this.

OK. Found it, I think. I branched for 4.0 (tag v4-0) and forgot to merge 
the last few checkins before the 4.0 release back into the head branch. 
So, until I fix this, the answer to your question is that there are 
actually two "current" versions of Gnatsweb. I'll have it fixed in a 
couple of days, though.

Did you put rphaddox in the "submitters" file?  Take a look at that file
and decide how you want to proceed with submitters.  You can leave the
submitter as unknown, and it should work.

That was a typo on my part.  The field is "Submitter-Id", the file is
"submitters".  If 'rphaddox' is not a legal entry in submitters, you
cannot use it in your "Submitter-Id" field.  Edit your "SUBMITTER="
environment variable to say "unknown" or add 'rphaddox' to your
submitters file.

Is send-pr using a mailer or pr-edit?  Check the "MAILPROG=" environment
variable. If this is unset, you're using pr-edit.  If it is sent, you're
sending email.  If you're sending email, make sure your aliases file is
set up correctly to receive queries through email.

Alternatively, is the category listed in the "categories" file?  How did
you go about making the category?

Have you referenced the GNU GNATS manual ala the 'info' command?
There's a lot of useful information in there...

You know, I've looked in the gnats 4.0 for "Request" and "entity" and
haven't found either string.  Unfortunately, it seems that savannah has
yet again fouled up my cvs-over-ssh access.

Not sure. ;-)  I'll look into it.  Have you found anything since you
last posted this?

Are tyou talking about the variable located in my /usr/local/bin/send-pr
file?

I have MAILPROG set to "/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t".  Which is preferred, 
pr-edit or mailer?

> set up correctly to receive queries through email.

I assume this is correct but when I submit the PR using s)end, it takes
a while to return back to the prompt where the message "send-pr: problem
report mailed" is displayed.  I have included the following to my
aliases file:

gnats-admin:    root
bugs:           "| /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -q"
bug-q:          "| /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -q"
bug-log:        /usr/local/tmp/bugs.log
bugs:           bug-q, bug-log
query-pr:       "| /usr/local/libexec/gnats/mail-query"


> Alternatively, is the category listed in the "categories" file?  How did

I re-did this category using the command '.../mkcat str' to double-check.


> Have you referenced the GNU GNATS manual ala the 'info' command?
> There's a lot of useful information in there...

I'm using it for sure but I have not attempted network access before.


Thanks,
Randy

Sorry for the late response.  I had intended on replying to it and

Perl CGI's actually do work fairly well, especially if you tie in things
like mod_perl to speed up (remove) the initialization time of the
interpretor.  Modifying gnatsweb is one of those pet projects one of our
web developers would love to do, if he had the time. :-/  I could see
breaking out the GNATS protocol into a package of its own, i.e.
"Net::GNATS".

I don't think it would be all that complicated.  You could use any of
the language-of-choice's existing protocol libraries as a model.  The
GNATS network protocol is fully documented in the info docs and is
accessible from the GNATS homepage.

Heh.  You're doing fine.  Better than my German, to say the least. ;-)

This is an error message from the web server, not from GNATS. Basically, 
the request that goes from the browser to the web server contains more 
data than the web server has been configured to receive at once. If your 
web server is running Apache, this should be possible to to fix by using 
the LimitRequestFieldsize directive in httpd.conf, see 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize for 
details.

Yes.  That whole, confusing install-sid issue.

Depends upon your own preference.  Would you prefer to run gnats as a
daemon or as a local process?  Would you like to use the mail interface
or only allow access through the daemon and/or gnatsweb?  If the gnats
daemon is running through inetd, and if you are allowing connections
from your workstation to the server, pr-edit will be quicker to respond
than waiting for your cron job to process the incoming queue.

You have your cron job set up to process incoming emails, right?

  # Cron job for processing GNATS incoming queue. 10 min delay.
  5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * gnats test -x /usr/lib/gnats/queue-pr && \
  	/usr/lib/gnats/queue-pr --run ; exit 0

You have two entries for "bugs".  Your MTA should be complaining when
you run "newaliases".

Gotcha.  It sounds like you're not really using it, though.

A while ago I did a version of the web interface in Python. In case you 
are interested, it's still available at:

Would be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for all answers, i'll take a look to your python web interface
and probably i'll try to adapt and my old webmail project based on
servlet to run as a gnat client instead a pop3 client.

Subject: GNATS Changes
Message-ID: <E1C8QtR-0003iF-0x@lists.gnu.org>

To GNATS developers

I am considering some of the following changes to gnats.  How do I find out
what is being worked on and whether any of these changes have already been
incorporated into GNATS?

1.  Change Audit-Trail field to support a header so that the changed by and
when fields do not have to repeat for each change.

2.  Support for append-only field.  There would be a format for how the text
is appended.  There would be support for the append to be at the top or
bottom of the previous text.

3.  Command to list subfield names.  I did not see this anywhere.

4.  Flag to identify fields that have subfields.  Can flags be added without
breaking any existing interfaces?

5.  Notify support for sub field when the sub field is a multi-enum.

6.  Hooks in the create and edit to validate fields

I have made the following changes to our gnatsweb.pl file.  Are any of these
changes of any general interest?


1.  After the submit, the following web page displays the new PR number
which the user can click on.

2.  Sections were added by creating dummy field entries in the GNATS
database.  Each field began with the word "Separator" and the description
field contained the text of the separation.  Quick links were added to the
top of the web page.  "edit" or "submit" buttons were added to the "view"
and "edit" pages.

3.  If field is Notes than blank it on the edit screen.  This was needed to
support the pseudo append-only field.

4. Load a database specific $gnatsweb_site_file if it exists.  This was
added after init_prefs().

I believe I did answer you a couple of days ago. Anyway, this is qhat I 
sent:

This is an error message from the web server, not from GNATS. Basically, 
the request that goes from the browser to the web server contains more 
data than the web server has been configured to receive at once. If your 
web server is running Apache, this should be possible to to fix by using 
the LimitRequestFieldsize directive in httpd.conf, see 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize for 
details.

I just want to give everyone a heads-up warning about my predicted

child sometime in the next three weeks.  The due date is the 8th of
October, but the doctors tell us it could be any time now.  I'll try to
let you know when that date arrives, but I don't expect to be prompt or
even available for two weeks following that event.

The ChangeLog in each directory contains changes that have taken place
to the source code or documentation.  The ChangeLog files are maintained
manually with the format found in the GNU Coding Standards[1]_.

Recently, I updated the TODO files using the devtodo tool.  Use of this
tool is not mandatory as you can edit the .todo file manually (it is
pretty straight forward XML) and ask someone to generate the TODO file
for you.

Currently listed as 5.8 in the TODO list, reportedly dependant upon
updating access control mechanisms (5.6).  The 5 sublist is currently
the "Unassigned" list, where these enhancements are not yet targeted for
a particular release.

Nice idea.

I'd have to look more closely.  I'm not as familiar with the code or
protocol as those more experience with the code base.  Perhaps when I
get my two weeks of "vacation", I'll have time to study this better.

> 5.  Notify support for sub field when the sub field is a multi-enum.

I would probably lump 3, 4, and 5 as a sub-list of TODO's for a single
goal: Enhance Subfield Processing.

> 6.  Hooks in the create and edit to validate fields

5.3 is listed as "Add script hooks, probably for edit formats and such.
Need to think about how to integrate in changes to the PR done by the
script"

There was also mention of hooks with some of the enhancements that Mel
was planning on rolling into GNATS in the sometime near future.  Take a
look at the list archives for the discussion.  In June '04 [2]_, there was lots
of discussion about enhancing GNATS.

Sweet!  I would assume that you can submit patches through the Savannah

That sounds like a hack.  Effective, no doubt, but hackish.  What do you
mean by "sections"?

Useful.  However, isn't the "edit" and "submit" buttons already shown on
the view and edit pages, respectively?

Hmm...  Perhaps we should look to support append-only fields in GNATS
itself.  This sounds like a nice workaround for gnatsweb.

That's useful. ;-)

Please send me the changes, preferably as diffs against the head CVS

At least the first feature listed below is already long overdue.

Yes, the "sections" is hackish.  Better if attributes could be added to the
GNATs fields and then define well known attributes. I wanted to key off of
the database so the hack keys off of dummy fields that are enums with a
single value which is the title.  The gnatsweb.pl script catches field names
beginning with "Separator" and treats them specially.  Removes them from the
query forms and adds them to the view and edit pages.  For non gnatsweb
users these fields help break up the form still.

field "Separator1" {
    enum {
        values { "Problem Description" }
        default "Problem Description"
    }
}

Sections displays a single table row with the background color of the header
and text displayed as "H1".  The purpose is to break up the form into
sections that different people are responsible for.  There are some links at
the top of the page to take the user directly to the section they are
interested in.  Within the section there is a button which duplicates the
button at the top and bottom of the web page (edit or submit for view or
edit pages) (as you pointed out below).  We are using four sections that
break the edit and view pages into five sections

(initial section without a title) - 18 fields
Problem Description - Originator and problem fields (14)
Fix - Developer and fix info (17)
Verification - QA info (5 and expected to grow) 
Miscellaneous - Unformatted followed by audit-trail

Subject: Gnats{web} localization
Message-ID: <20040929141447.6207c085.mishka@apk.od.ua>

Greetings!

I've looked to problem tracking tool and choose the Gnats due to it
lightweight, modular, and robust backend. I'm newbie to Gnats
installation and administration. So when I've tried to deploy the PR
database (Gnats 4.0) on my corporate support site, I'm faced with l12n
and i18n problems. Gnats and Gnatsweb seems doesn't support non-english
messages at all, but my users are speaking Russian.


First, I need at least correct handling of non-ASCII characters.

Fortunately, Gnats tools uses is*() ctype functions and was linked
against libintl library (I'm use NetBSD), thus it correctly operates on
any 8-bit characters (16-bit ones should processed as two 8-bit chars).
But one problem still pursuit me - the e-mail notifications:

	1) Subject fileld must be MIME encoded.
	2) Message must contain charset specification.

So as my time was limited, I've just changed header{} at mail-format{}
section as follows:

	header {
	  format "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r\nSubject: Re: %s/%s\n"
	  fields { "Category" "Number" } 
	}

I.e. Subject now doesn't contains synopsis text, and message have a
Content-Type field. 

Next, briefly looking over the code and documentation of gnatsweb.pl,
I'm found it was not really designed for non-english sites. Thus, two
new variables should fix this problem for me:

	site_html_language	- the language for returned web pages
	site_html_charset	- the charset for Content-Type

Depending on that variables (which had set values to "en-US" and
"ISO-8859-1" respectively) Gnatsweb now adds all corresponded headers
where needed. These variables are overridable from gnatsweb-site.pl.
Please see a patch provided in attachment.


Second, I need complete localization for Gnats. I.e. all messages, field
names, categories and so on should be easy changed by site's own values
on any preferred language. I'm personally have two ideas for this:

1) Add yet another field to Gnats PR structure: ">Encoding:". The Gnats
will use UTF-8, for example, as internal charset encoding. An encoding
for any newly arrived PR will be easy determined by this field and
autoconverted to UTF-8 using iconv library. User tools shoud specify
encoding when talking to gnatsd or when fetching PR in any way. The
directive "gnats-encoding" should be affected to all Gnats internal
data described below (field names, ...)

2) Use XML as internal format for database processing. This allows use
power and simplicity of XML i18n.

Indifferently to solution choosed, user tools must be adopted to this
behaviour (supplying and querying encoding values and so on).

Now I have a time to work on any of those (or any other) solution in way
to Gnats localization.


Any comments would be appreciated.

TIA, Mishka.

Mike, I'm all for l12n and i18n of GNATS and gnatsweb.  Mel H. is
planning on adding a data abstraction layer API to gnats so that
different backends may be used.  In fact, he has already written the
code to support Oracle and is working on PostgreSQL, currently.  XML
could certainly be one of those implementations.

I used this method to add "Priority: junk" to all GNATS autoresponses.
Great idea.

GNATS flexibility shining through once again, I'd say.

See above.

I'd love to see this fleshed out.  Does anyone have any driving opinions
as to which we should pursue.  I don't know how large of an impact #1
would have on the code base, as I'm not that familiar with it yet.  #2
probably won't happen until we get Mel's new API in place.

On a personal note, the delivery date of our first child is quickly
approaching.  Either my wife will be induced tonight or Friday,
depending upon how the lab tests turn out later today.  I will likely be
off the radar for the next couple weeks.

Very nice idea! I seen something on TODOs, but you have explained this
for me, thanks. Is this work available anywhere for tests?

The GNATS have clear enough API and I think this feature can be added
within minimal work. However, it will depends on two libraries more:
iconv and MIME. But again, IMHO it cost this.

If you approve this work I'll start coding and will publish patches ASAP
just after finishing.

> #2 probably won't happen until we get Mel's new API in place.

Yep, it is. Moreover, charset or language specification is needed in any
case. If new API could handle arbitrary "frontend" (i.e. input PR
format) too, then it would be possible to submit XML reports within any
charset (or even any charset for parts of PR).

Will be waiting for Mel H.

Well, I'm pretty sure anything will be good!

Greetings!

Mel,

I have recently discussed i18n problems on help-gnats@ and Chad say me
that you are working on new API for GNATS. I hope within these new
interfaces it should be much easy to implement several other things. 

Could you explain me, please, a status of the project, and are new files
available anywhere (I've checkout latest sources from CVS, but it seems
doesn't contain anything yet)?

P.S. I've sent this message directly to < mel (at) wates (dot) org >,

I have been extremely busy with a number of unrelated things recently
however, you can check out the work I've done here:

    http://professional.juniper.net/gnats/

I'll be happy to answer any additional questions you might have
about this project....and I look forward to hearing more about
what you have in mind with internationalization.

Subject: Preparing 4.1...
Message-ID: <20041029213319.GA14062@wookimus.net>

Hello, folks.  Well, now that my training as a parent have been
initiated, I think it's time to put my shoulder to the grindstone.

Hans-Albert submitted a change to CVS to fix a couple buffer overflow
problems on September 6th, and we should roll these out into a new
release of gnats sooner than later.  An optimistic goal is to have a
release ready to roll out by Monday.  If you have patches or fixes you
would like incorporated, please let me know ASAP.

Things I still plan on rolling in for the 4.1 release:

  * NEWS: Summarize changes and important security fixes

  * A note in the compilation documentation that bison version 1.35 or
    earlier is required to rebuild getdate.c.

    (Is there anyone versed in using bison to update the getdate.y file
    to use bison 1.875?)

  * install-sid: Either remove or update so that a separate
    configuration (sh) file is generated rather than editing send-pr.

  * send-pr:
    - Source a configuration (sh) file (i.e. /etc/gnats/send-pr.conf)
      and $HOME/.send-pr.conf to override default environment variables
    - Remove or update references/error messages regarding install-sid

  * debian/...: Roll in changes from current debian package

I'm going to hold off on the PAM patch for just a while longer.  Pankaj,
do you think it would be possible to add a cautionary note in gnats.texi
regarding the security problems in exposing the PAM to GNATS
authentictation (i.e. plain-text network protocol sniffing)?  For
example, we should suggest that administrators not authenticate system
accounts through GNATS.  Rather, give suggestions for using other PAM
modules to authenticate against alternate passwd or db format files.

(Is it possible to blacklist pam modules for use w/gnats?)

Once we get a gnutls layer incorporated into the gnats daemon and
libraries, we could update our suggestions to be more permissive.

Note: I do have to purchase and install a new power supply for my
workstation at home, but I hope to have it up and running later tonight.

Yes, I'll put a cautionary note in gnats.texi.

I don't think we can block modules selectively. Anyhow, people
using PAM modules should know what they are doing, and will
be careful of security issues, specially if we warn them.

I'm under the impression that if you use a client and server
on the same machine, then there is no security problem. Is this
correct?

One more thing, when I compiled Gnats 4.0 on my Mac OS X.3
(Panther) I had to take out the '-ansi' switch from GCC_CFLAGS
in gnats/configure. I got this tip by searching this mailing list.

Can we make this somehow permanent in 4.1?

I am not sure how to submit defects.  I entered a tech support request which
follows.  The defect causes stored queries to fail depending on the query
and what field names contain a dash.  Most of our stored queries were
failing.

Summary:  Stored queries fail when fields contain a dash

Original Submission:  Stored queries are stripped of fields with no values.
The pattern used is "/w+=;/" which does not include dashes.  Fields that are
split improperly cause the parser to make an incorrect query when the wuery

I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but I suspect that it might involve
adding a file to the config/ subdirectory for the Mac OS X platform.
We have a few Mac's at work.  I'll see what I can dig up.  If someone
knows the answer off-hand, let us know.

OK, I think we're about ready to make the 4.1 release.
send-pr/install-sid has been updated, the debian directory has been
synchronized, configure.in has been updated in the gnats/ and send-pr/
directories.  There are a few remaining issues to consider:

	* Compilation issues on Mac OS X 10.3.x

	* Core dump issues for Fedora Core 2 (remove optimization in the
	  compile)

	* libiberty autoconf requires version 2.13 rather than 2.50.
	  We either need to update the configure.in file to work with
	  2.50 or update libiberty to the most recent version (wherever
	  that might be available)

	* Should we replace texinfo/texinfo.tex file with a more recent
	  version? (Version 4.2?)

If you're interested in testing the current development version of
GNATS, please check out the recent CVS repository.

I recommend moving to autoconf 2.59 and consider a transition to
automake 1.9.3.

Well, you may do well to consider making sure that the documentation
still looks correct when using something like the makeinfo that comes
with texinfo-4.7 (released 2004-04-10) which is hte latest release of
the texinfo software.

Certainly, but let's consider 4.1 security/bugfix release.  We'll
migrate to a cleaner autoconf/automake setup in 4.2.  It's on the top of
my list of things to do.  I recommended 2.50 based on an incorrect
assumption that Debian ships with 2.50 by default.  In fact, I had been
using 2.59 where the binary was named autoconf2.50.  So, I agree to
requiring 2.59.

The only library that we need to concentrate on is libiberty, which
appears to be supplementary for non-GNU platforms.

To clarify, I meant to imply that updates to texinfo.tex would occur in
GNATS version 4.2.  It will happen, just not yet.

OK. An update is in order.  It looks like gnats will not build on my
system with the existing libiberty/ (and subsequently include/)
directories and the changes I made to configure.in.  I've tested dumping
the old libiberty and replacing it with the one found in the gcc 3.4
sources.  I was able to get a successful build and test installation.
This is a larger change than I had hoped for, but probably one that
needs to be done.

The alternative is to step back from requiring autoconf 2.59, and
instead stick with autoconf 2.13 for now.  Anyway, I'll keep testing and
let you know what I find.

As an aside, should we be using bug-gnats for development discussions
and leave help-gnats for end-user help?

Subject: gnats/emacs problem
Message-ID: <20041108204022.22672.qmail@web14924.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi, I contacted Mr. Milan Zamazal (whose name is noted on the gnats.el
file) but he noted that "I don't maintain nor use GNATS for several
years" and so I'm a bit stuck.  Here is my problem - I seem to be
having problems with emacs/gnats' "edit-pr".  After making changes to
my PR, I C-c C-c yet nothing happens and I get a,

  ''Input timeout from the server''

displayed in the message area.

Using,
 emacs-21.3.1
 gnats-4.0-2
 gnats.el (no version noted, 'Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002 Milan Zamazal')
 Linux bozo/debian 2.4.22 #2 Thu Sep 18 20:47:45 PDT 2003 i686 GNU/Linux

I believe its due to gnats waiting to get a reply from me with regard
to what it is that I changed since I see "send the field change reason"
in the 'gnats-show-connection' buffer.

  212 Ok, send field text now.
  analyzed
  .
  210 Ok.
  REPL 7 State
  212 Ok.
  analyzed
  .
  213 Ok, now send the field change reason.
  LOCK 7 emacs

But I'm never prompted for what it is that I changed and thus the
problem (I'm guessing).  Any other ideas ?

Do please let me know if I'm doing something wrong and how to fix this
problem.  If there is a more updated version of gnats.el (or a patch)
do please let me know - I wasn't able to find one.

Regards,

 - Nadim

Update number two.  I've tagged the HEAD branch of CVS before adding the
libiberty updates.  I intended on branching off HEAD to test this
addition, but messed up my commits, so the libiberty updates are on HEAD
instead of of the libiberty update branch.  In any case, I have a few
more cleanup changes to commit tonight.

Note, I'm not getting the coredump issues with the update libiberty
files.  When I ran a backtrace on the offending gnatsd executable, it
traced back to the memcpy function in the /lib/tls/libc-2.3.2.so
library.  I haven't tracked down the exact updates in libiberty yet to
pinpoint the problem, but because I'm not getting these coredumps, I
think might be able to assume they were fixed.

So, wait for my commits later today, and then please test on your
respective platforms.

OK, I've committed the gnats/configure.in changes as well as the new
gnats/autoconf.h.in and configure, and I moved the gnats-4_1_0-rc1 tag
forward.  To get the new updates, run cvs update in your working
directory.

I definitely feel the need to have our own GNATS database back up and
running, now more than ever.  A little dogbowl would be good.

We have two new open issues with respect to the RC1.  One compilation
issue with Solaris Workshop 8 cc (conflicts between stdlib.h, unistd.h,
and stdio.h), and one on FreeBSD with gnats-pwconv being unbuildable,
which may have something to do with how getopt() is being declared.

I've got a busy day at work tomorrow and I'm going hunting this weekend,
so I'll be unable to work on GNATS until next week.  If you find
solutions to these problems, please send them to bug-gnats@gnu.org! ;-)

Sounds like a gnatsweb version mismatch.  The gnats and gnats-user
packages on woody are essentially gnats 4.0, or very close to it.  You
should definitely NOT be using gnatsweb v2.x  You should most definitely
be using gnatsweb v4.00 or greater.

Is is possible that your gnats installation works, but your gnatsweb is
a version mismatch?  Could you provide us with some more information?
Have you, for example, tried "telnet localhost support" to see if gnatsd
is running?

hi,

it's not the "debian gnats" we are using (sinc it is v4 as you mentioned)
we have (should I say "had"?) a running v3 gnats db with customers used to
it,
 so this is why we are still stuck with it.

No, it must be something with the gnatsweb vs. new(er) perl.

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.

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.

I'd vote for running the stable version, rather than the cutting edge.

Subject: Adding "Approval" Mechanism
Message-ID: <EC5CF42A8A0AC548B1E44A70157A628B5163FE@orlando.wolfsonmicro.main>

Hi,

I have cobbled something into gnatsweb to support an approval system
through emails. Firstly I edited the dbconfig file fairly heavily so
that gnatsweb sends HTML emails. The main mail that is sent out is
whenever there is an audit trail change.

In our local Gnats DB we have a state "awaiting-approval" as well as
"approved" and a few other new ones. For each possible state I create a
separate DIV in the HTML mail and use inline CSS style to say which one
is displayed. This is controlled with CSS lines in the dbconfig like

   div { display: none }\n\
   div.%s { display: inline }\n\

and the format element used is 'State'.

In the "awaiting-approval" state, the mail contains two big buttons for
Accept / Reject which the originator can click on. This uses an
additional field in the Gnats link to bypass the normal login and use an
account which has edit access. This required a small hack to
gnatsweb.pl.

The link I use is

h**p://someserver/cgi-bin/gnats/gnatsweb.pl/1?submittype=mail&pr=%s&cmd=
submit edit&State=approved&database=default&State-Changed-Why=%s
email_approval

It is the "submittype=mail" field that I use to bypass the login. I know
that this provides a potential edit backdoor, but Gnats security is not
great anyway and I trust my users who are all local :-)


Cheesey, but it works!

Andy.

I have attached my dbconfig if you want to see what I have done. You
will have to add your own images.

Hmm...  Is there any way to get a little more verbosity in your make
process?

I did some digging.  It looks like the HAVE_CRYPT definition is never
really set.  I don't know when it ever was. HAVE_CRYPT_H is being set in
autoconf.h.in (including the older 2.13 generated version).  We need to
check for this new define in gnats-pwconv.c and gnatsd.c.  Apparently,
as the comment states, crypt() can be defined in unistd.h or crypt.h.
We need to figure out which, and handle it appropriately.

Additionally, gnats-pwconv.c has extraneous #include directives that are
already called in gnats.h.  This may actually be one source of confusion
by the compiler/linker.

I haven't yet tested this thoroughly, but here's a possible patch to
actually include the crypt.h header file correctly.  Preliminary tests
on my machine are favorable, but then again, I didn't have problems
w/the Debian GNU/Linux setup.

Subject: Temporary GNATS DB and gnatsweb
Message-ID: <20041130183756.GB3545@wookimus.net>

I've installed a temporary GNATS and gnatsweb combo on my home firewall,
an Ultrasparc 5 (64bit).  It's slow and painful, and probably not to up
to par w/my ISP agreement, but here you go:

gnats: skuld.wookimus.net port 1529

gnatsweb: http://skuld.wookimus.net/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl

All of the databases and accounts that were available at the time of the
GNU server break-in years ago are there.  The SSH authorized keys have
been removed.

Hopefully, we can move this over to GNU servers sooner than later.

Note, new bug reports need to created through the gnats tools or
gnatsweb interface, NOT email.  I may route email via a subscription to
bug-gnats@gnu.org, but we'll see how that works out.

This looks good. Thanks for setting it up. What is the user access
control on this? I logged in with some random user id and password
and it gave me edit access. Is this intentional?

Also, we should probably add some text on the login page about
how to login, what the various db's are, etc. I can help out in that
if you let me know what needs to be written.

Fixed.  Frankly, edit access for everyone is not necessarily a bad
thing.  I should use your pam patch to make the job of password updates
easier to handle (i.e. via a website).

I suppose an override sub process for the login page in for
gnatsweb-site.pl.

You need an entry in the /usr/local/etc/gnats/databases file for the 
database test

  test:<Description of test db>:<path to directory for test db>

  mkdb creates the db directory at the path that you specify in the 
databases file

Make sure your inetd daemon has an active gnats record.  Once that's
confirmed (and you've reloaded the inetd configuration), make sure you
can telnet to your localhost port 1529.  I'm going to my GNATS server in
this example:

[23:49:01] chewie@skuld (544)$ telnet ydalir.wk 1529
Trying 192.168.5.254...
Connected to ydalir.wk.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 ydalir.wk GNATS server 4.0 ready.
QUIT
201 Later.
Connection closed by foreign host.

After you confirm that gnatsd is indeed running, then you can start to
debug why gnatsweb, the CGI front-end, is having problems.

Since this post, I haven't been able to work on GNATS much.  I'll have
some free time coming up again, so hopefully we can work through some of
these compilation bugs.

Rather than wait for the volunteer GNU sysadmin's to install GNATS for
us, I've installed it on my personal little Ultrasparc 5 running Debian
GNU/Linux (sarge).  I did not have email submitted to bug-gnats@gnu.org
forwarded until this weekend, but I believe everything is working as it
should.

All emails submitted to bug-gnats@gnu.org are being forwarded to
bug-gnats@wookimus.net, the email address for the temporary GNATS
server.  You may continue to send subsequent emails for the audit trail
to bug-gnats@wookimus.net.

Correction to that advise.  If we should hash things out in public
conversations, send it to help-gnats@gnu.org.  Let's reserve bug-gnats
for initial problem reports.  If you want to watch audit-trail reports,
subscribe to gnats-prs.
