I am currently sweating over the documentation for installing GNATS user
tools on remote machines, so that the tools can access gnatsd directly over
the network.
In my opinion, the logical strategy for this looks something like this:
- On the client machine, download and untar GNATS. Run "./configure"
- Run "make usertools". This would build all the tools required on client
machines, roughly corresponding to the tools currently built by the targets
send-pr in send-pr/Makefile and tools-all in gnats/Makefile.
- Run "make install-usertools". This would install the tools built by the
make above and copy a default send-pr.conf file to /usr/local/etc/gnats.
- Edit send-pr.conf to fit local needs and add a proper GNATSDB variable
setting to user's environments.
I am unable to find anything resembling the targets "usertools" and
"install-usertools" outlined above in the current master Makefile, but I
don't think adding this would be a lot of work. However, I am not
sufficiently experienced with makefiles to do this myself.
An alternative would be to add a --tools-only option to configure. I don't
know what solution would be the best, but we really need to have a way to
install the user tools on client machines before GNATS 4 can be said to be
complete.
