Starting with gnats

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

I have setup GNATS as http://bugs.gnupg.org - there is a category
"gpgweb" for our use.  Submitting a bug report via the web interface
is currently not possible, so you have to use the send-pr
utility (apt-get install gnats-user). Here is a template file, you
might want to use:

=============
SEND-PR: Note that the Synopsis field is mandatory.  The Subject (for
SEND-PR: the mail) will be made the same as Synopsis unless explicitly
SEND-PR: changed.
SEND-PR:
SEND-PR: Choose from the following categories:
SEND-PR:
SEND-PR: pending   trash     gnupg     libgcrypt libksba   gpa       
SEND-PR: gpgweb    
SEND-PR:
To: bug-any@gnupg.org
Subject: 
From: my@address
X-send-pr-version: 4.0-beta1
X-GNATS-Notify:

=========================

You have to enable submittin a reporting by mail using these entries
in /etc/gnats/send-pr.conf:
======================
# -*-sh-*-
# This is the configuration file for send-pr.
# It is read by the send-pr script each time it is executed.  You can customize
# various send-pr variables here instead of editting send-pr directly.  You
# must at least uncomment the ORGANIZATION. variable value and set it to some
# reasonable value.

# Id of the submitting organization
#DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION=fill_some_value_here

# The site *receiving* the bug reports
#GNATS_SITE=${GNATS_SITE:-the_site}
GNATS_SITE=gnupg.org

MAILPROG="mail bug-any@gnupg.org"

TEMPLATE="/etc/gnats/templ-gnupg.org"
======================

I still have to setup a policy on how to setup user accounts for
editing bugs.


Salam-Shalom,
