send-pr for the outside world
Now that GNATS is up and running on your system, you probably want
to distribute send-pr to all your friends, relatives, enemies,
etc. so they can more easily submit bugs to your organization. To do
this, create a new directory dist-directory to hold the
distribution. Then run the program
mkdist dist-directory release
This populates dist-directory with a full distribution of the
program send-pr, including a `Makefile' and all the
send-pr documentation. You can then simply package up this
directory and send it to your bug report submitters. For example,
when logged in as gnats you can do the following:
mkdir new-dist mkdist new-dist tools-1.2 tar cvf send-pr.tar new-dist
This creates a file called `send-pr.tar' which contains a full
distribution of send-pr customized for your site, with a default
release number of `tools-1.2'. You can then place this onto a disk
or tape and send it to your submitters, or instruct your submitters to
download it using ftp.
