NAME
delete-pr - deletes closed PRs
SYNOPSIS
delete-pr
[ -V | --version ] | [ -h | --help ] |
[ -d name | --database=name ] [ -c | --closed | PR ]
DESCRIPTION
Deletes the specified PR, or if the --closed option is given, all of
the closed PRs in the database are deleted.
delete-pr must be run by the GNATS user (by default gnats).
Note that deleting PRs is generally a very bad idea. It flies in the
face of the very idea of using a Problem Reporting system and should
only be considered in special situations. Such a situation might for
instance arise if a mail loop causes mass duplicate submissions or if
you receive spam to the PR submission e-mail address.
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Prints the program version to stdout and exits.
-h, --help
Prints a short help text to stdout and exits.
-d, --database
Specifies the database from which the PR(s) are to be deleted.
If no database is specified, the database named default is
assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the
GNATSDB environment variable.
--closed
Requests that all closed PRs in the database be deleted.
PR Requests that the specified PR be deleted. The PR must be in a
closed state.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to
access.
For network access via gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list of
strings that describe the remote database, in the form
server:port:databasename:username:password
Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear;
otherwise, the value is assumed to be the name of a local database.
If GNATSDB is not set and the --database option is not supplied, it is
assumed that the database is local and that its name is default.
