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.
