gnats2w
-------

gnats2w is yet another WWW interface to GNATS.  I wrote it because I wasn't
satisfied with the two interfaces in GNATS contrib directory.  wwwgnats was too
much big hack to be actually useful and cern-wwwgnats required modifying GNATS.
So I hacked up my own WWW interface to satisfy my needs.

gnats2w is not fully clean too, since it sometimes uses GNATS internal
utilities and sometimes relies on the output format of GNATS programs.

You need the following software to run gnats2w:

- GNATS 3.113
- Python 1.5.X
- Zope 0.9.5 (you need only the ZTemplates module)
- HTMLgen 2.1 or higher
- Apache (may be it works with other HTTP servers too, but I don't know)
- fcgi.py, if you want to use FastCGI

(Different version of the software may and need not work.)

The software is available at:

- Python, Apache: Debian GNU/Linux distribution -- http://www.debian.org
- GNATS: ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gnats/snapshots/
- ZTemplates: http://www.zope.org
- HTMLgen: http://starship.skyport.net/crew/friedrich/
- fcgi.py: http://www.fastcgi.com

This is an alpha release, so do not expect it to be much usable.

For installation instructions, read the file `INSTALL'.  See the `man'
directory for the complete manual in Texinfo.

Some portions of on-line help were copied from GNATS manual.
