  93                   <h2>BinMerge updates</h2>
  94
  95 <p>Updated BinMerge to always draw the merge arrow to the branch we are merging to. There was also a bug about the choice returned from the PerlTk portion where it needed to not only be chomped but chopped until there were no more "\n"'s there. Don't know why that happened.</p>
  96
  97 <p>Additionally the PerlTk window would often not pop to the top of the window stack. This is apparenty common under Windows. I implemented the following code:</p>
  98
  99 <div class="code"><pre>
 100     # Make sure the window pops to the top
 101     # Trying really hard... :-)
 102     $main->update;
 103     $main->deiconify;
 104     $main->update;
 105     $main->raise;
 106     $main->update;
 107     $main->focusForce;
 108     $main->update;
 109
 110     MainLoop;
 111 </pre></div>
 112
 113 <p>At least this heavy handed approach seems to work.</p>
 114
 115 <h2>Stripmime and GNATS</h2>
 116
 117 <p>Ravi and I worked on the stripmimed thing a little today. Here's what
 118 happened:</p>
 119
 120 <ul>
 121   <li>We verified that stripmimed is indeed running. The alias was changed to not run Perl first rather to  use the shebang line. That was working - IOW /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed would run. (later it broke).</li>
 122
 123   <li>We verified that stripmimed was writing properly to stdout.</li>
 124
 125   <li>We saw that /tools/gnats/4.0/SunOS/libexec/gnats/queue-pr was being run and a file was being deposited into /tools/gnats/db-test-it/gnats-queue.</li>
 126
 127   <li>We saw that /tools/gnats/4.0/SunOS/libexec/gnats/queue-pr would be run by cron (or by hand) and it would process the file deposited in the queue</li>
 128
 129   <li>After that we don't know where the information for this went. We were using Test/1 in the subject line which should update http://gnats-irva-3.broadcom.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?debug=&amp;database=IT-Test&amp;cmd=edit&amp;cmd=edit&amp;pr=1
 130 but it isn't.</li>
 131 </ul>
 132
 133 <p>I attempted to debug this further and I made a change /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed and now:</p>
 134
 135 <div class="code"><pre>
 136 gnats-irva-3:/tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed
 137 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 44: use: command not found
 138 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 48: use: command not found

 146 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 58: my: command not found
 147 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 60: open: command not found
 148 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 61: or: command not found

 150 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 64: my: command not found
 151 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 66: print: command not found
 152 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 67: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
 153 /tools/gnats/4.0/bin/stripmimed: line 67: `} # Log'
 154 </pre></div>
 155
 156 <p>So how did we fix the shebang problem before? Also, why is queue-pr not properly updating the pr? (My suspicion is that the file attachment on this PR is messing up queue-pr - nope, that doesn't seem to be it...</p>
