Description solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-22 08:56:14 UTC
Only GNATS I see in portage is app-xemacs/gnats-1.15
-----------------------------------------------------

GNATS is a portable incident/bug report/help request-tracking system which runs
on UNIX-like operating systems.  It easily handles thousands of problem reports,
has been in wide use since the early 90s,  and can do most of its operations
over e-mail.

Wrong category.

Moving.

app-xemacs/gnats is a frontend to gnats. The "real" gnats is not in portage.
