man getclose (8): Find PRs fixed in a particular release

SYNOPSIS

getclose [OPTIONS] MIGRATION FREEZE LASTFREEZE

DESCRIPTION

getclose uses the three dates specified on the commandline to find and label PRs fixed in a particular release.

MIGRATION -- the date of the migration for the current release
FREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the current release
LASTFREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the previous release

RESULTS

FIXED:foo:1234:the synopsis
MAYBE:bar:1235:the synopsis

Those marked FIXED were closed before the migration into the current release. Those marked as MAYBE were closed after the migration, but before the freeze; thus, the fix may or may not have made it into the current release. These need to be researched to find out if the changes, if any, were included.

OPTIONS

-h, --help: Prints a brief usage message for getclose.
-V, --version: Prints the version number for getclose.
-d DATABASE, --database=DATABASE: Specifies the database containing the PR to be edited; if no database is specified, the database named default is assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment variable.

GNATS network options:

-H HOSTNAME, --host=HOSTNAME: Hostname of the GNATS server.
-P PORT, --port=PORT: The port that the GNATS server runs on.
-v USERNAME, --username=USERNAME: Username used to log into the GNATS server.
-w PASSWORD, --passwd=PASSWORD: Password used to log into the GNATS server.

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, it is assumed that the database is local and that its name is default.
