Bugs which have been reported to us using GNATS can be viewed through the query-pr mail interface. Certain reports (notably those with ``Confidential: Yes'' set) will not be available via e-mail. Unfortunately, there is no GNATS search engine available, you have to know the PR number in order to retreive the report. You can get some PR numbers from the weekly mailing of open bug reports to the freebsd-bugs mailing list. Past report mailings will be available in the mail list archive. There are no docs on how to query the GNATS db via mail that I know of, so here is a quick summary: Send e-mail to ``query-pr@FreeBSD.ORG'' with the command line that you want to be used with the query-pr program on the Subject: line of the mail. e.g. mail -s "--full 1" query-pr@FreeBSD.ORG ^D to see the full history of PR #1. The body is (AFAIK) ignored. To find out what flags are valid for query-pr, you'll have to find the GNATS docs. Sorry. Gary -- FreeBSD Core Member E-Mail: Gary@Palmer.Demon.co.uk, gpalmer@FreeBSD.org
