Description-en: problem report management system - central database
GNATS is a bug-tracking tool designed for use at a central "Support
Site". Users who experience problems use electronic mail to
communicate these problems to "maintainers" at that Support Site.
.
GNATS offers many of the same features offered by more generalized
databases, including editing, querying, and basic reporting. You can
access the submitting, editing, and querying functions of GNATS
through provided utilities or from within GNU Emacs.
.
The "gnats" package has the full installation for the central database
server. For client systems, use the "gnats-user" package which has just
the user tools.
