 Hi all,
 I submitted a problem report using send-pr a few days ago. send-pr
 completed without any errors, but I haven't seen any evidence of my
 problem report in the FreeBSD bug list
 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi ) or on the bugs
 mailing list. Can I assume it's in a review queue to  determine
 whether or not it's legit, or should I assume it is lost and  resubmit
 it?

If you're sure it hasn't shown up (search on subject as well as
sender), then resubmit.

Better yet, check your /var/log/maillog first. Once submitted you will get an 
autoreply, with the ID it's been assigned to. Send-pr's that don't show up, 
usually reside in /usr/bin/mailq.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Good call -- there it is. I guess send-pr assumes I have a machine  
from which I can send email. I'll resubmit using the Web form.


Thanks

It assumes the variable MAIL_AGENT is capable of sending mail:
   If the environment variable MAIL_AGENT is set, its value is used as the
   path + command line arguments of the executable to be invoked for send-
   ing the problem report (which will be provided via standard input).
   This can be useful if you either use a MTA other than sendmail or  need
   to  provide  additional  parameters,  such  as  the  envelope sender on
   machines without a valid FQDN.
   Default value: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t

If you want, you can write your own script that ssh's to a mail-sending 
capable machine and invokes the mail-sending program there (no extra stamps 
required!).

Problem report not showing up?

2008-09-19 Thread Philip Semanchuk

Hi all,
I submitted a problem report using send-pr a few days ago. send-pr  
completed without any errors, but I haven't seen any evidence of my  
problem report in the FreeBSD bug list (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi 
) or on the bugs mailing list. Can I assume it's in a review queue to  
determine whether or not it's legit, or should I assume it is lost and  
resubmit it?


Thanks
