10What is Gnatsweb?
11=================
12
13 Gnatsweb is a web interface to GNATS, the GNU Problem Report
14 Management System. It is a Perl CGI script which runs on your web
15 server.

18System Requirements
19===================
20
21 Gnatsweb 4 requires that you have the following:
22
23 * The 'gnatsd' network daemon installed and configured, version
24 4.0 beta 2 or greater.
25
26 IMPORTANT: Gnatsweb 4.x will NOT work with GNATS 3.x
27
28 * Write access to a CGI-enabled directory on your web server.
29
30 * Perl 5, with the fine CGI.pm module, version 2.56 or newer.
31 Note that the unofficial 3.x versions of CGI.pm have been
32 reported not to work. There has been trouble reported with a
33 version of perl prior to 5.004_04.

35
36Where do I get it?
37==================
38
39 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnatsweb/
40
41 It's also available in the contrib/gnatsweb directory of the GNATS
42 distribution, but since GNATS and Gnatsweb releases aren't
43 necessarily synchronized, this version will often be outdated.
44
45 Note that versions of Gnatsweb numbered 4.x only work with 4.x
46 versions of GNATS.
47
48How do I install it?
49====================
50
51 Read the INSTALL file. For postinstall customization, read
52 CUSTOMIZE, then CUSTOMIZE.vars and CUSTOMIZE.cb.

55Who wrote it?
