I might as well explain what I know of the problem now that
it's fixed. Basically, the version of send-pr we install in the krb5
tree comes from a send-pr made using the mkdist command in the Gnats
release. This mesans I:
* check out Gnats from the gnats repository
* build and install Gnats
* run mkdist
* cvs import the output in krb5's tree
The problem is that the Gnats configure process goes through a
fairly strange set of procedures to attempt to determine what the
Gnats configuration should be at build time. It reads a configuration
file out of the install tree at configure time among other things.
Apparently, when I built it for the 1.1.1.3 import of send-pr into
krb5, I did something right so the address was krb5-bugs. When I
built the 1.1.1.4 version, I did something wrong, and the address
wasn't krb5-bugs.
I do not know exactly what went wrong nor why. I do not
care; I brute-forced our Gnats build process so it always gets the
right address.
Sorry about the poor testing of the 1.1.1.4 import; I checked
to make sure the part of the change I intended to make happened
correctly, but did not do a full build/install/test cycle.
