DESCRIPTION
gtk-send-pr is a problem reporting tool (based on GTK+) , similar to
send-pr.
The following options can be used:
-a file include file in the Fix: section
-m enable maintainer mode
-v show version and exit
-h show help
-L list available categories and exit
The user interface
The user interface has two parts: the tabs and the buttons. The buttons
should be self explanatory for most people. ``Send'' will send the PR to
the selected SMTP server. ``About'' shows the version information dialog.
``Help'' pops up a window with this information, and, finally, ``Quit''
exits the program, warning the user if the PR has not been sent yet.
Parts of a PR
The first tab contains user info, as well as SMTP settings. Do not forget
to properly set the SMTP server, or the program will fail when trying to
send the PR. If the server requires SMTP AUTH, you will be prompted for a
user name and password. If the server runs on a non-standard port (other
than 25), set the port to the appropriate value. You can enable SSL by
setting the SSL option to ``Use SSL if possible'' or ``Always Use SSL''.
The program expects a file containing both your private RSA key and your
certificate to be located at ~/.authenticate/private/smtp-starttls.pem ,
whith permissions set to 0600 or 0400, otherwise it will be ignored by
libesmtp. Password protected certificates are not yet supported. Users
should not modify the ``To'' address.
The ``Type'' tab contains information about the PR, like the ``Synopsis''
and other information. The pull down menus will show the available
options for each field.
``System'' contains information about your system. Again, most users do
not need to add anything here.
``Details'' is a very important section. Here is where the explanation
about what the PR is comes. Note that the ``-a'' option will include a
file in the ``Fix'' section, which is usually used to send patches and
shars. You can also include a file in the Fix section at any time by
pressing the ``Open'' button.
Once you have finished filling the relevant fields, press ``Send'' to
send the problem report.
Maintainer Mode
As of version 0.4.2, you can enable ``maintainer mode'' with the ``-m''
command line option. Maintainer mode presets some options to make ports
