Is there an a way the issue could be mitigated in the coming monthes by those : - wait for sarge release and ask again if cgi support could be enabled (though i believe it is a security risk to have such script on the main server ... - ask for a server to mirror the bts a second time . This could be of use to other "projects". Stats are generated from a copy on debian japan server for example : http://www.debian.gr.jp/~kitame/ which is then used for wouter graphs : http://people.debian.org/~wouter/
maybe we could ask how takuo does this. He may already have such a copy (though an official server where all experimental stuff about the bts could happen would be of more use). All work on improving the debian BTS infrastructure is on halt for too long a time :( I do not understand : "We were asked to move scripts to merkel.d.o. probably a year ago. I did this but unfortunately apache isn't set up to allow cgi scripts." which scripts are not cgi ? Did you mean cgi as in modules exuting in the server process (not as php scripts which runs inside a module which itself is a cgi ) ? Could you comment ? If any script language is accepted could we port the cgi code to this scripting language (notwithstanding the performance penalty). "This is yet another example of the sad state Debian is in. I really wonder what is going to happen to Debian -- some of the core infrastructure needs changing (release processes, dispute resolution, sharing of work, collaborative improvement to the distribution), but it seems that we can never do this because there are too many conflicting opinions and no real "leader" to take responsibility, make decisions and change Debian for the better. " Well i agree about the problem ... though i feel the leadership problem is solved. Between our current DPL and RM . And i feel every of the broken parts them (which i feel are not broken per se but did not evolved ) have now a skillfulled team working one. Well except the BTS thus my request :) I believe debbuggtk being an important milestone. It will show that tools can be improved and lead to more people hacking on it ...
