[GRASS-dev] communication of community sprint decisions

GRASS GRASS developer
1

Hi devs,

I’ve been reading the discussion page at: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:GRASS_GIS_Community_Sprint_Prague_2019 and I see that we should open new bug reports or feature requests directly in GitHub. When does this decision start to take effect?

I think it is important to communicate this broadly to the user community through grass-user list

Best,

Vero

Yes. I wrote it there and what I meant by putting this into “Decisions made” section is that we made that decision, but it won’t happen until the steps are done, i.e. until we allow opening issues on GitHub, disallow opening new issues on Trac, and announce this on mailing lists.

I don’t mean any legal talk, just the same as with the startup. We made the decision, even a concrete plan, but until we actually do that, there is no new startup.

I guess I should have included what are the actions to follow, especially since in the past, we did not report that much on “decisions with no actions now, but actions to follow.”

Best,

Vaclav

Shall we go for this? What do you think?
I would like to see GH issues enabled now.

The plan assumes that Trac allows removing the privilege to create tickets for all users, but leaving tickets editable. Can you please check that?

Perhaps even the New Ticket in top menu bar could be replaced by link to GitHub for those used to Trac, but that’s a low priority.

We could change it to this:

TICKET_VIEW
[ ] TICKET_CREATE
TICKET_MODIFY

Perhaps even the New Ticket in top menu bar could be replaced by link to GitHub for those used to Trac, but that's a low priority.

That seems to be easy:

Let's go for it!

... so, that would be the easy part.

But:

That seems to be easy:
https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#CustomNavigationEntries

... I tried it and it didn't have any effect, or I tried the wrong way.

@Martin Landa could you support me here?
(trac is nowadays a container on osgeo7)

thanks
Markus

PS: we could activate the issues on GH anyway!

Hi all,

I have now modified

- trac permissions:
    - For the role "authenticated" I have remove TICKET_CREATE
- trac menu [1]:
    - View Tickets --> https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues
    - New Ticket --> https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/new
- GitHub
    - issues enabled: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues (yet empty :wink:

Let me know if I overlooked anything.

TODOs:
- write an announcement to the lists / "News" section on the web site
- define a GitHub issue template.

Volunteers welcome.

[1] trac menu modified in trac.ini, according to
https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#CustomNavigationEntries

Cheers,
Markus
