Don't use gnatsweb for this sort of thing at all. If you look in the gnats package (Debian: gnats-user) you find all sorts of good tools for this. /usr/bin/edit-pr and /usr/bin/query-pr, in particular. Don't get too hooked on these though. I'd much rather see us move to Bugzilla, since it should be available on sources.redhat.com in a couple of weeks. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
