It looks like send-pr comes from GNATS 3.2. On the WWW site <URL:http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gnats/>, one can read: There is a lot of confusion about the status of GNATS. The last official release of GNATS was version 3.2 in 1993. However, GNATS 3.2 is really broken, don't use it. Many major advances have been made to GNATS in the last couple of years, including multiple database support, customized fields, and comprehensive WWW and Tk based front-ends. Switching to GNATS 3.113, released 1999-11-30, eases the use of send-pr for both FreeBSD and other sites, with only one shell script. Fix: Use GNATS 3.113.

I must add that one bug has been recently discovered in this send-pr. The fix is: --- send-pr.sh.orig Tue Apr 11 15:18:15 2000 +++ send-pr.sh Tue Apr 11 15:18:24 2000 @@ -329,7 +329,7 @@ To: $GNATS_ADDR Subject: From: $FROM -Reply-To: $REPLYTO +Reply-To: $REPLY_TO Cc: $CC X-send-pr-version: $VERSION X-GNATS-Notify:
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->steve Steve's probably a good person to decide whether to move forward on this one.
State Changed From-To: open->closed I just uppgraded our send-pr bits to version 3.113.
