This file contains some default values that need to be known in order
for send-pr
to work properly. This file needs to be copied to
all hosts where send-pr
will be used.
If GNATS was built with default options, the send-pr.conf
file should be placed in the /usr/local/etc/gnats directory.
However, if the option --sysconfdir
was used during building of
GNATS, the send-pr.conf file resides at the location
given to this option.
Entries in this file are on the format
variable=value
The valid variables are:
SUBMITTER
The default value to be used for the Submitter-Id field when
send-pr
is invoked.
DEFAULT_RELEASE
The default value to be used for the Release field (only applicable if the Release field is defined in the dbconfig file.
DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION
The default value to be used for the Organization field. (only applicable if the Organization field is defined in the dbconfig file.
MAILPROG
If the GNATS server can’t be reached directly over the network,
i.e. it is behind a firewall or suchlike, send-pr
can be set up
to submit Problem Reports by e-mail. This is done by setting the
MAILPROG
variable to point to a mailer such as Sendmail. If
MAILPROG
needs to have the address that the mail is being sent
to specified on the command line, it should be specified here as well
(for example, ‘MAILPROG=''mail bugs@foo.bar.com''’ should work).
If Sendmail is used, use ‘MAILPROG=''/usr/lib/sendmail -oi
-t''’. See also MAILADDR
and TEMPLATE
below.
MAILADDR
If using e-mail to submit PRs, this is the address that PRs should be sent to.
TEMPLATE
When invoked, send-pr
communicates directly over the network
with the GNATS server to determine what fields to include in a
correctly formatted Problem Report so that it can present the user
with a template. If the GNATS server can’t be reached directly
over the network, a template must be provided. Set the
TEMPLATE
variable to point to a template file created on the
GNATS server by using the command send-pr -p
.
