queue-pr
hands off queued Problem Reports to file-pr
one
at a time. file-pr
checks each Problem Report for correct
information in its fields (particularly a correct Category
),
assigns it an identification number, and files it in the database under
the appropriate category.
If the Category
field does not contain a valid category value
(i.e., matching a line in the categories
file; see The categories
file), the PR is assigned to the default
category, as set in the dbconfig
file. If there is no default
category defined, the PR is given a Category
value of
pending
and is placed in the pending
directory. The
GNATS administrator is notified of the unplaceable PR.
file-pr
assigns the Problem Report an identification number,
files it in the GNATS database (under the default, if the
Category
field contains an invalid category), and sends
acknowledgments to appropriate parties. For the default GNATS
configuration, the person responsible for that category of problem
(see The categories
file) and the person
responsible for the submitter site where the PR originated
(see The submitters
file) receive a copy of
the PR in its entirety. Optionally, the originator of the PR receives
an acknowledgment that the PR arrived and was filed (see Changing your GNATS configuration).
The usage for file-pr
is as follows:
file-pr [ -f filename | --file=filename ] [ -d databasename | --database=databasename ] [ -h | --help ] [ -V | --version ] network options: [ -H host | --host=host ] [ -P port | --port=port ] [ -v username | --user=username ] [ -w password | --passwd=password ]
file-pr
requires no options in order to operate, and takes input
from standard input (normally, the output of queue-pr -r
)
unless otherwise specified. The options include:
-f filename
--filename=filename
-d databasename
--database=databasename
default
).
-h
--help
file-pr
.
-V
--version
file-pr
.
file-pr
can file PRs across a network, talking to a remote
gnatsd. The following options relate to network access:
-H host
--host=host
-P port
--port=port
-v username
--username=username
-w password
