Hi, I'm having trouble submitting prs with send-pr. Every pr I've sent so far has been initially filed as pending, followed-up as a Misfiled PR, and then moved to the category I meant to send it to. It usually takes a while for someone to notice it in pending, and so its been hard to keep ports that I maintain up to date. (see ports/11734, ports/12300, ports/12476, ports/12744 ...) It doesn't seem that all prs begin as pending, and if so, why are mine followed up as misfiled? According to the GNATS documentation: If a Problem Report arrives with a `>Category:' value that is unrecognized by the `categories' file, or if that field is missing, GNATS places the PR in the `pending' directory. but I'm certain I filled out the category field correctly (ports). I could see making a mistake once or twice, but... I even tried using the web interface, and still the format was wrong somehow. Also: GNATS does not have the ability to decipher random text, so any problem reports which arrive in a format GNATS does not recognize are placed in a separate directory pending investigation by the GNATS administrator Random text?! As far as I can tell I've filled out the single-line text fields correctly, are any or all of the multi-line fields required? I usually get the patch into the pr with ":r shujit.diff" from send-pr/vim. I thought this might have something to with it so I tried just putting them on my web page and including an url. Since the same thing happened using the web interface, I don't see that it could be a configuration problem here. I must be just filling something out wrong, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas? Thank you. Please cc me, as I am not subscribed to this list. ps I would really appreciate it if someone could move pending/14670 to ports and pending/14639 to kern To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
