enhancements for queue-pr


From: Dirk Bergstrom
Subject: enhancements for queue-pr
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 17:39:23 -0800

two changes to queue-pr:

*) call pr-edit directly, instead of file-pr.
file-pr is just a thin shell wrapper around "pr-edit --submit".  i
could see no reason we shouldn't just call pr-edit directly, and
simplify the process.

*) add a new option, max-size.
we have discovered that PRs larger than ~100 Kbytes give gnats
indigestion.  edit-pr & gnatsweb tend to choke on these bulky PRs.  we
have also found that most of the large PRs got that way because a
person or process emailed a very large amount of data (giant config
files, crashdumps, etc.).  the max-size option allows us to filter
large messages manually.

the actual patch, and suitable changelog entries, are at this URL:
