[GRASS-dev] request tracker r.null -n bug

How are we meant to submit bugs at the current time?

Request tracker via the website and via email tells me I don't have
permission to submit to the queue (frustratingly it only mentions this
after submitting the bug.

In the meantime, here is the bug report:

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86_64
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: GRASS 6.1.cvs (2006)

the -n option is supposed to only do work (ie create a null bitmap) if
the null bitmap doesn't already exist. Currently always does it.

only_null is the flag option and is only referred to in null.c in the
following if statement:

if(only_null && !G_find_file(element, "null", mapset))
{
     sprintf (buf, "%s doesn't have null bitmap file! Exiting", name);
     G_warning(buf);
     exit(0);
}

It should probably be:

if(!only_null && !G_find_file(element, "null", mapset))
{
     sprintf (buf, "%s doesn't have null bitmap file! Exiting", name);
     G_warning(buf);
     exit(0);
}

and have another test for checking whether the file does exist and -n
is set. i.e.

if(only_null && G_find_file(element, "null", mapset))
{
     exit(0);
}

As a temporary workaround please email me with all the details - I'll
submit the report for you. Do not hesitate.

You can also ask Bernhard Reiter of Intevation (who host the Grass BT)
to create an account for you.

That's true and it's too bad indeed. But there where scripted spam
attacks and in order to block them Intevation cancelled the anonymous
access. See the thread "spam in bug tracker" in gras-dev archive.

Until we switch to some decent BT system (moving to Gforge Tracker of
wald.intevation.org is planned) we have to live with this.

In the meantime, here is the bug report:

Thanks. I have submitted it:

That the report form did not work anymore was a mistake on our side.
We are just trying to reenable to creating of new issues for guest
on the GRASS queue which should solve this problem.
Sascha Wilde is on the task.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
