Installation procedures for `send-pr'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you receive `send-pr' as part of a larger software distribution, it
|
||
|
|
will be automatically installed when the full distribution is
|
||
|
|
installed. The `send-pr' directory, however, is easily installed by
|
||
|
|
itself by following these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Unpack the distribution into a directory which we will refer to as
|
||
|
|
SRCDIR.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Edit the `Makefile' to reflect local conventions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifically, you should edit the variable "prefix" to alter
|
||
|
|
the installation location. The default is '/usr/local'. All
|
||
|
|
files are installed under "prefix" (see below).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Run
|
||
|
|
make all install [ info ] install-info [ clean ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from the "build directory". The targets mean the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
all Builds `send-pr' and `install-sid'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
install Installs the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
send-pr into PREFIX/bin
|
||
|
|
install-sid into PREFIX/bin
|
||
|
|
send-pr.1 into PREFIX/man/man1
|
||
|
|
categories as PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE
|
||
|
|
send-pr-el.in as PREFIX/lib/emacs/lisp/send-pr.el
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
info (optional) Builds "send-pr.info" from "send-pr.texi"
|
||
|
|
(send-pr.info is included with this distribution)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
install-info Installs "send-pr.info" into PREFIX/info
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
clean (optional) Removes all intermediary build files that can
|
||
|
|
be rebuilt from source code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
install-sid SID
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where SID is the submitter identification code you received with
|
||
|
|
`send-pr'. If you've downloaded `send-pr' from the Net, use "net"
|
||
|
|
for this value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Any users who wish to use the Emacs version of `send-pr' must place
|
||
|
|
the following line in their ".emacs" files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(autoload 'send-pr "send-pr" "Submit a Problem Report." t)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Create a mail alias for the support site you received `send-pr'
|
||
|
|
from, and for every site with which you wish to use `send-pr' to
|
||
|
|
communicate with, each with a suffix of `-gnats'. The support
|
||
|
|
site(s) will provide the correct addresses toward which these
|
||
|
|
aliases should point. For instance, edit your mail aliases file
|
||
|
|
to contain something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# support sites; for use with send-pr
|
||
|
|
cygnus-gnats: bugs@cygnus.com # Cygnus Support
|
||
|
|
bumblebee-gnats: bumblebugs@bumblebee.com # Bumblebee BASIC, Inc.
|
||
|
|
mycompany-gnats: bugs@my.company.com (if you use GNATS locally)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`send-pr' automatically searches for these aliases when you type
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
send-pr cygnus
|
||
|
|
send-pr bumblebee
|
||
|
|
send-pr SITE...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`send-pr' also uses SITE to determine the categories of bugs the site
|
||
|
|
in question accepts by looking in PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. That's it! See "send-pr.info", "send-pr.texi", and/or "send-pr.1" for
|
||
|
|
information on using `send-pr'.
