Public bug reported: When using the default GNATs (v4.1.0) from Ubuntu, queries using Gnatsweb doesn't work.
In particular, gnatsweb does the following query against gnatsd: expr ((! builtinfield:State[type]="closed")) & (Category~"^logger$") With the version of gnats that comes from Ubuntu 11.10, the result is 415 Invalid expression Note that "logger" is the name of the category. There appears to be no workaround available by modifying the gnatsweb.pl source. When I downloaded the gnats-4.1.0 source direct from GNU, and compiled it with the following option: CFLAGS="-g -O2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" ./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir="/usr/include" --mandir="/usr/share/man" --infodir="/usr/share/info" --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-gnats-root=/var/lib/gnats/gnats-db --with-gnats-service=gnats --with-gnats-default-db=/var/lib/gnats/gnats-db --with-gnatsd-user-access-file=/etc/gnats/gnatsd.user_access --with-gnatsd-host-access-file=/etc/gnats/gnatsd.host_access --with-gnats-dblist-file=/etc/gnats/databases --with-lispdir=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnats and replace the binary "gnatsd" with that we've just compiled, everything works as expected. I only replaced the gnatsd binary. root@octavia:~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 root@octavia:~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 root@octavia:~# apt-cache policy gnats gnats: Installed: 4.1.0-1 Candidate: 4.1.0-1 Version table: *** 4.1.0-1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900394 Title: GNATs doesn't support GNATSWEB queries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/900394/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
