Summary: send-pr should be upgraded
Product: Base System Reporter: root <sam>

Description root 2000-04-11 07:10:01 UTC 
	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.

Could you give us an indication of what's changed in the send-pr
supplied with GNATS 3.113?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

>From what I can see in the diff:

  - better handling of the TMPDIR variable in case it has a trailing /
  - better handling of what to do if a user has no $LOGNAME and no $USER
  - allow a submitter to Cc: other addresses by using "-c addresses"
  - allow a submitter to set the severity from command-line with "-s severity"
  - add a new header field X-GNATS-Notify to ask for notification or not
  - trie to include system, architecture and machine description

I must add that one bug has been recently discovered in this send-pr. The
fix is:

Steve's probably a good person to decide whether to move 
forward on this one.

I just uppgraded our send-pr bits to version 3.113.
