That being said, OSX server is temporary solution. We
will migrate to Linux
server soon and will do so (hopefully) transparently. Right now we are in
the process of completing the studio and until that is done and we have
moved, this will be a low-priority item (unless OSX decides to die on us).
Sorry to interrupt this wonderful discussion, but what about the
original thread topic?
(2) bugzilla ? mantis ? trac ?- any volunteers,
experts?
I'm not sure, but I like how sf also supports patch tracking along
with bug tracking. I would have suggested bugzilla in the past but it
seems trac is becoming quite popular. Someone more familiar might be
able to comment.
(3) subversion seems to be the common denominator!
Agreed. However, I think supporting a git tree might be quite easy to
have as well.
Svn and git are the two I would vote for.
(4) once we've consolidated the server backend -
you can request new
mailing-lists to be hosted at
linuxaudio.org!
Very cool.
(5) frankly: the
sf.net file-release system sucks! and
so do most
What about just letting people do file releases on their hosted web site?
I don't really see the need for an official release tracking system,
though I'm sure there are arguments for it.
(6) once there are Forums on
linuxaudio.org we can
revisit the
per-project forum idea... ;) - drupal should already be able to do it!
Personally I'm a fan of the post-to-the-mailing-list-via-the-web style
of forum. In other words, a merged forum and mailing list. Of
course, this might encourage spamming so protections would have to be
in place, but honestly I find it annoying when there is both a forum
and a mailing list to discuss the same topic, but they are not
connected.
My 2c.
Cheers,
Steve
