++ 27/05/02 22:50 +0200 - Joachim Strömbergson: | Aloha! | | Could someone possibly give me some help? I have created a port of an | EDA-tool (should go into the CAD-section) called gtkwave. I have tried | to submit the port using the send-pr command. But so far no success. | | Since the web interface strongly suggests that code shouldn't be | cut&paste into the web interface and I can't seem to get the send-pr | command to work, I'm stuck. Is there anywhere you could upload the .shar file & give a link to it in the PR? It's not optimal, but it will do. :) (A lot of us have off-line copies of the gnats databases cvsup'd locally for offline work). | What happens when I use send-pr is that I fill in the form and hit "s" | for sending the pr. A few seconds goes and then I get: | | <quote> | js@fetis2.ninja.se:/home/js>send-pr | s)end, e)dit or a)bort? s | /home/js/dead.letter... Saved message in /home/js/dead.letter | send-pr: mysterious mail failure. | send-pr: the problem report remains in /tmp/pbad.W0gY9Igm and is not sent. | </quote> | | I can agree with the command on one thing - it's mysterious to me too! ;-) | | I have ventured a guess though. It might (probably has) something to do | with my connection. I'm connected with cable modem to the net and use | DHCP for setting gateway etc. Since I download all my mail from the ISP | and use the ISP SMTP-server for delivery, I don't run any mail server on | my own system and haven't defined any external either. (All settings are | in the mail program). Hmm, yes, this is probably the issue. You can setup sendmail to just forward all mail to another smtp server, poke around in /etc/mail I suppose. --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
