process_release_notes - Create Release Notes for newly created packages

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 jats process_release_notes [options]

 Options:

    -help              - Brief help message

    -help -help        - Detailed help message

    -man               - Full documentation

    -verbose           - Display additional progress messages

    -pvid=nn           - PVID of package to process(test mode)

    -age=nn            - Examine packages created in last n days

    -keeptemp          - Keep the temp workspace

    -status            - Display status

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-help>

Print a brief help message and exits.

=item B<-help -help>

Print a detailed help message with an explanation for each option.

=item B<-man>

Prints the manual page and exits.

=item B<-pvid=nn>

This option bypasses the normal mechanism of determining packages to be processed and 

will process just the specified package. This is normally only used to test the operation 

of the subsystem.

=item B<-age=nn>

This option control the period of time period used in determing which packages to process. 

The number is in days. The default value is 2 days.

=item B<-keeptemp>

If this option is specified, then the temporary directory created in the processing will be 

retained. The user is responsible for deleting the directory.

This option is normally only used in testing.

=item B<-status>

When set, this option will cause the program to display the package name and version of each

package being processed.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This utility program is apart of the Package Release process. It is an interim solution.

The script is designed to be run as a cron jon on the dpkg_archive server.

It will scan the Release Manager database for packages that have been release, but do 

not yet have release notes. For each package it will then generate a Release Note by: 

=over 4

=item *

Invoke jats_get_releasenote_data to:

Extract relevent information from

=over 4

=item *

The Release Manager database

=item *

the ClearQuest database (now conatined within the Release Manager database)

=item *

the Jira Issue server 

=back

and create and XML file.

=item *

Invoke jats_gen_releasenote to:

=over 4

=item *

Process the the XML file created above, and package list info found within the new package. 

If no package informationis found then the utility will create a package list, but this is 

much slower than having it created by the package builder.

=item *

Create an XML file containing all the package information

=item *

Create an HTML based Release Note, from the XML file. This file could also be used to create a Release note in another format if required. 

=item *

Transfer these two files into the package in dpkg_archive

=item *

Insert the packages file list into the Release Manager database.

=back

=item *

Make the package read-only. This will trigger any post-install processing of the 

package. This is only required for packages that form a part of the build system.

=item *

Flag that the package has been released. This may tigger the BLAT package file transfer process 

and the package will be transferred to remote sites.

=item *

Determine the users that have registered interest in being informed when the package is released. 

It will then email these users.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLE

=head2 process_release_notes

This will perform a single scan of the Release Manager database and generate Release Notes as required.
