Hi all, Just in case this ends up being a repeat:
I sent a couple of emails here, but just realized I used an email address that is not subscribed and so they probably never reached the list. There where two, one was asking for help as I think adding versions is currently broken for the Jython tracker (which is my fault as I am supposed to be the maintainer these days) but then I had what I hope is a better idea: Proposal: Jython to use the same tracker as CPython ========================================== I think the problems I've been having with Jython's tracker stem from it drifting as roundup is upgraded for python-dev. Outside of the fact that I'm a crappy maintainer of Jython's tracker here are some justifications for us sharing the same tracker: * In the 3.x timeframe, we plan to push all of our *.py code into the CPython standard library. I have the support of many core devs on this, it just hasn't been done in a systematic way yet. I've already done this for a couple of files (for example see http://bugs.python.org/issue16886) but I plan to see that all of our .py files get pushed as Jython moves to 3.x. Since half of Jython's code will live in the CPython repo anyway, why not use the same tracker? * It would be better for Jython in general if we followed CPython's development style more closely, with code reviews etc. It would be essential for us to do this with code that actually lives in CPython's standard library anyway. * The database of who has signed a contributor agreement is clear in bugs.python.org, but is not in bugs.jython.org, and it would probably be too much work to sync them. * The implementation effort would be small (really just add "Jython 2.5" and "Jython 2.7" to the Versions field and later "Jython 3.4" or whatever version we end up targeting). I also don't see a need to migrate the data from bugs.jython.org - we could just slowly re-direct people to http:/bugs.python.org on a bug-by-bug basis until traffic to htttp://bugs.jython.org gets slow enough, then we could either shut it down or leave it up read-only. What do you folks think? I have not discussed this with current Jython devs yet, as I'd prefer to be sure that it would be acceptable here first. -Frank _______________________________________________ Tracker-discuss mailing list Tracker-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-discuss
