Yes. We found a way to export all data (except for file attachments),
through a different exporter. This gives all data, unfortunately, it
is ill-formed XML ( is not properly entity-referenced sometimes).

Anybody who wants to work with these data, please let me know;
I made a snapshot a few days ago.

The backchannel access to SF data was actually someone different:
he experimented with the existing export, confirmed the problem,
promised to talk to Paul Moore about that, and referred us to
the other XML exporter as a work-around (that one allows to export
500 items at a time).

Martin

 Fredrik, if you would like to help move this all forward, great; I
 would appreciate the help.  You can write a page scraper to get the
 data out of SF

challenge accepted ;-)

http://effbot.python-hosting.com/browser/stuff/sandbox/sourceforge/

contains three basic tools; getindex to grab index information from a
python tracker, getpages to get raw xhtml versions of the item pages,
and getfiles to get attached files.

I'm currently downloading a tracker snapshot that could be useful for
testing; it'll take a few more hours before all data are downloaded
(provided that SF doesn't ban me, and I don't stumble upon more
cases where a certain rhettinger has pasted binary gunk into an
iso-8859-1 form ;-).

$ python status.py
tracker-105470
6681 items
1201 pages (17%)
104 files
tracker-305470
3610 items
0 pages (0%)
0 files
tracker-355470
430 items
430 pages (100%)
80 files

the final step is to finish the off-line scraper library (a straightfor-
ward ET hack), and make a snapshot archive available to interested
parties.  (drop me a line if you want a copy)

 If you would rather contribute by collecting a list of possible
 trackers along with who will maintain it, then please do.  I am not
 going to dive into that quite yet, but if you want to parallelize the

(wasn't there someone with backchannel access to the SF data ?)

 The tracker will need to be able to import the SF data somehow (probably will 
 require a
 custom tool so the volunteers need to be aware of this), be able to
 export data (so we can back it up on a regular basis so we don't have
 to go through this again), and an email interface for at least
 replying to tracker items.  A community-wide announcement will
 probably be needed to get a good group of volunteers together for any
 one non-commercial tracker.

 But I am not procrastinating.  I don't think I have ever come off as a
 procrastinator on this list and I don't think I deserve the label.

I wasn't talking about individuals, I was referring to the trend where
PSF moves something off a public forum, and the work just ends up
going nowhere.

The reason I didn't want to deal with the trackers quite yet was that
I could see people getting the trackers up and squared away, and then
just get frustrated when we were unable to get the SF data to them
quickly.  I didn't want other people stuck spinning there wheels
waiting on us.

 One thing that you are *obviously* missing (there might be more):

 Nobody has stepped forward and said I make trac happen. Without
 somebody (specific) saying that, all technical arguments in favour
 of that software are futile.

I'm quite sure I've already pointed to

http://www.python-hosting.com/freetrac

which could be used by the Python 3000 activity in order to evaluate
Trac, and to

http://www.python-hosting.com/shared_hosting

plus a small fraction of the PSF budget for the Python code, if Trac is
found to be good enough, and provided that the PH folks think that it's
a good idea to host core development on their platform (I assume we
have pretty good stats for how svn.python.org is being used).

I can ask them for a test py3k account, if there's any interest.

I'm personally not very much interested in a Py3k tracker; I don't
see myself using it. So I'm not interested in a trac-based one,
either.

As for python-hosting.com: Somebody would *still* have to set this
up, manage to import the data, manage accounts, manage to make it
known etc. The actual hardware to run it on is the least of my
concerns - xs4all provides that very nicely. I don't see anything
that could be saved by moving things from xs4all to python-hosting.

 Me neither. It's too early.

Same here.  Please move any more comments about infrastructure to the
infrastructure list
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure/).  But do
realize the committee is not discussing trackers yet.  We are still
trying to get our SF data out so that can be imported into a tracker
to test its use (we need large scale bugs in it to stress it and get a
feel for its search abilities, etc.).  I am going to be picky about
keeping the intfrastructure email traffic focued on the task at hand.

Tracker discussions will be mostly ignored by me until I send out the
official call for tracker suggestions with volunteer maintainers.  At
that point we can figure out what trackers to consider and who will be
in charge of getting the test setup going.

[Python-Dev] I'm not getting email from SF when assigned a bug/patch

2006-03-27 Thread Guido van Rossum
Folks,

When you assign a bug/patch to me, somehow SourceForge doesn't send me
an email. (Is this understood behavior? Can it be changed?) Since I
don't monitor my SF personal page regularly any more, that means that
the issue will remain in limbo forever or until someone points me to
it. So if you want me to take any particular action (even rejecting
something) please send me a separate email!

Martin I believe it broke at some point, I'm pretty certain it used to

I would expect that if it broke for Guido it broke for everybody.  While we
consider him to be the BDFL I suspect the accolades are lost on the SF

Indeed, it broke for me as well. I didn't notice until Guido's post that
this is what happened - I had assumed I had filtered out/deleted these
messages.
