This manual documents send-pr
, which uses electronic mail to
submit support questions and software bugs to a central site. No piece
of software is perfect, and software organizations understand this;
send-pr
is designed to allow users who have problems to submit
reports of these problems to sites responsible for supporting the
software in question, in a defined form which can be read by an
electronically managed database.
send-pr
is part of a suite of programs known collectively as
GNATS
, the GNU Problem Report Management System.
GNATS
consists of several programs which, used in
concert, formulate and partially administer a database of Problem
Reports, or PRs, at a central support site. A PR goes through
several states in its lifetime; GNATS
tracks the PR and
all information associated with it through each state and finally acts
as an archive for PRs which have been closed.
Because send-pr
exists as a shell script and as an elisp
file for use within GNU Emacs, it is quite portable. It can be
used from any machine on your network which can run a shell script
and/or Emacs.
Throughout this manual, the personal pronouns you and your refer to the originator of the Problem Report.
The GNATS
utility suite is currently at version 3.01.
