Using an existing "send-pr"

If your system has already the "gnats" utility installed, it's easy to integrate our J support site in your setup.

1. Find out where your GNATS file area is located on your system. The default value for this is /usr/local/share/gnats. Other good guesses are /usr/share/gnats and /usr/gnu/share/gnats. If you are totally lost, invoke query-pr -P and you'll see the path on top of each report.
2. In the directory you found in the previous step, create the file gaertner with the following contents:

   pending
   test
   gds-rfc
   j-unix
   j-engine
   j-lib
   j-docs
   j-juggle
   
   

3. In your mail aliases file, typically /etc/aliases, create an entry as follows:

   gaertner-bugs:      [email protected]
   

4. Run newaliases to activate the new entry.

That's all. When you are done with these steps, you should be able to invoke

send-pr gaertner

and get the form with our J support categories listed. Happy bug reporting!
