Bug#469353: RFH: request-tracker3.6 -- Extensible trouble-ticket tracking system
Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Summary: please test request-tracker3.6 from experimental and/or help me with the normal package maintenance. The Debian Request Tracker Group could use some help. Although several people have been involved in the two years we have been working on RT-related packages, I'm currently the only active maintainer, and I have lots of other things to do too... The most pressing need is for somebody to test request-tracker3.6 3.6.6-2~experimental1 I just uploaded into experimental. From NEWS.Debian: This version adds maintainer scripts for basic RT setup. The database integration is done with the dbconfig-common package. The installation procedure tries its best to import old configuration values on upgrades, and all the resulting files are managed with ucf(1) so local modifications are never overwritten without permission. . The most visible change is the addition of the /etc/request-tracker3.6/RT_SiteConfig.d directory. Configuration snippets in this directory are concatenated together with the update-rt-siteconfig(8) command. . Integration with the web server and the mail system are still not handled automatically and require manual configuration for now. I think the changes are pretty cool, and obviously they work for me (modulo a couple of bugs in dbconfig-common related to remote database handling). Then again, I've been playing with them so much that I'm probably blind to many issues by now. I'd really like to get these changes into lenny, but I'm not prepared to upload into unstable without any test reports and comments. Beside this, there's the usual bug triaging and the like. Upstream responsiveness seems to vary, but we could certainly be better at feeding our changes and bug reports there. Note that some really old open bugs inherited from earlier RT versions are still relevant to 3.6, although they are currently open against request-tracker3.4. The package documentation in NOTES.Debian et al. could probably be improved too, if somebody is so inclined... :) The project is hosted as pkg-request-tracker on Alioth and the packaging is at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-request-tracker/ . I'll be happy to add anybody interested in the group and help getting started, of course.

Update: the changes are now in lenny as of 3.6.6-2, but this is not a widely used package and all test reports are definitely welcome. > Beside this, there's the usual bug triaging and the like.

Hello, I'm currently working on a package for RT3.8, I don't think it will make Lenny(and I don't intent to do it), but at least I could spot some bugs in the way to make the package. Has someone made some progress in the rt3.8 packaging? I don't want to do duplicated work. I'll soon post a link to the repo where I'm currently publishing the packaging work. -- Gerardo Curiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geek By NaTure,LiNuX By ChOiCe,DebiAn of CoUrsE gpg fingerprint: 228B 0F96 8653 DF52 9740 B75E FB32 9C30 E179 7BD2 http://www.debian.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
