GNATS: gdb-prs@ -> gdb@?

GNATS: gdb-prs@ -> gdb@?

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

Anyone know something about GNATS?

I think I know why the ``send email to interested parties'' URL on the 
GDB's GNATS web page contains:

nobody@
The e-mail address of things like ``Responsible: unassigned'' get mapped 
onto nobody@ because they can't be mapped onto nothing (That gets 
remapped to unassigned@.  True?).  Same for a few others.  I think we 
can live with this one.

gdb-prs@
The contact address for the ``net'' and ``unknown'' customers is gdb-prs@!

What do people think of changing this?  For instance, just setting it to 
gdb@ or nobody@ (like most other things).

I also don't remember the rationale behind gdb-gnats@ (where to send a 
bug report) vs gdb-prs@ (where the bug reports appear).  I suspect that 
it is to stop people accidently re-sending to gdb-gnats?

Andrew

nobody@ would be preferable to gdb@, I think...

Isn't gdb-gnats input into the gnats DB, and gdb-prs output from it?

I think its configured.

The attached shows up a second problem.  I can't reply to your reply as 
the headers put it down as being from gdb-prs.  Arrrg.

 Sun4 is SunOS 4.  Try using a solaris2 configuration triplet.  Try
 sparc-solaris2 maybe?

See gdb/1.

Nope.  It is where GNAT's sends those useful CR changed messages.  I 
just did a number of changes to gdb/1 (with it set to nobody) and nobody 
was informed of the changes (except myself and cgf).

gdb-gnats is input, yes.  gdb-prs is:

# Any line which begins with a `#' is considered a comment, and GNATS
# will ignore it.
#
# Each entry has the format:
#
#       submitter:full submitter 
name:type:response-time:contact:notify-others
#
#       * submitter: The name of the site, customer, etc., sending the
#         report in.
#       * full submitter name: The description, like `Foo Widgets Inc.'.
#       * submitter type: Can be contract type, level of expertise, etc.
#       * response time: If configured with `NOTIFY' set to `TRUE', GNATS
#         will use this field to schedule when at_pr should notify the
#         gnats-admin and gnats-manager that the PR wasn't analyzed
#         within the agreed response time.
#       * contact: Principal contact for the submitter.
#       * notify: Others who should be Cc'd on any PRs coming from
#         this submitter.
#
#
#net:Net Users:net:-1:gdb-prs@sources.redhat.com:
net:Net Users:net:-1:nobody:

(ok that's an old copy of the file).  It's a shame that there isn't a 
BCC field.....

Still confused.
