Hello.
I sent a message similar to this one to Gerald, who kindly pointed me to
this list. (I'm not subscribed, so please cc me on followups.)
I'd like to make a change/extension to gnatsweb. When gnats sends out
its initial-submission mail, it does so with a header like
Subject: foo/NNN: the gronkulator isn't frobilizing properly
but when I make changes to the PR via gnatsweb, it sends out mail with
Subject: foo/NNN
which makes arranging the email in my mailbox difficult, since remembering
the synopsis for a few dozen arbitrary PR numbers is more than what my tiny
little brain can handle. I'd like to change things so that the synopsis
is always part of the subject line.
Maybe this isn't a config issue, maybe it's coded that way. Or maybe this
is a gnats issue, instead of a gnatsweb issue. Where do I start looking?
I think you would get the behaviour you want if you change the line in the
subroutine submitedit, reading
print MAILER "Subject: Re: $fields{'Category'}/$pr\n\n";
to
print MAILER "Subject: Re: $fields{'Category'}/$pr: $fields{'Synopsis'}\n\n";
or, if you want to explicitly use the old synopsis, even if the edit
involved changes to the synopsis:
print MAILER "Subject: Re: $fields{'Category'}/$pr:
$oldfields{'Synopsis'}\n\n";
Since I don't know what version of Gnatsweb you're using, I won't supply a
patch for this, but you should be able to make the edit based on the info
above.
Hope this helps,
