Anyway, I've given it a little run through, and I like it. My first impressions are good. I love the layout! It's clean, modern, and it seems to be quite a bit snappier than Trac. I especially like something that is kind of silly for most of us...probably one of the least used features. Tickets from all projects show in the My Issues module. Single sign-on (for the projects) is nice, as well as having names as opposed to email addresses or user names for assigning tickets. Overall, I like Redline (and the current theme) very much. Some technical questions: What is the authentication method? Can it be used for system accounts as well or can it use the existing system authentication? You had mentioned giving an existing Redline users commit privileges. Can it create a system account from the existing user, or does the SCM (Subversion currently) use the virtual users? Really doesn't matter for my usage, but I can see it as helpful as the project grows for the admins. I see that LDAP is an option, so in that case, certainly you can, but how about with flat files? I also noticed three things I didn't like right off the bat. First, we are using http. At very least, we should listen on 443 and get a free certificate that is trusted by Mozilla out of the box (since that is where BLFS get's its certificate store). I personally use StartCom. I realize that has been an outstanding problem for a long time. Second, setting a resolution in the ticket does not automatically close the ticket. Third, e-mail addresses are not hidden by default. I'm guessing that both of the last two are probably globally configurable, are they? Didn't see anything in user preferences...or any user preferences at all beyond the my account page. What additional features are available? Actually, I just found how to retrieve the RSS key so need to ask about that now, but it is an added feature--click on an editors name, and then click the Atom link in the bottom right corner of the page. I wouldn't use it, but others may. On the same vein, how about public_html dirs without changing the hostname to www or possibly adding personal additions beyond commit messages when somebody clicks on a name in a ticket as opposed to maintaining our 'home' pages in our home directory on quantum? That would invalidate the need for system accounts beyond server admins if Subversion (or another SCM) could use the same authentication method (see above). Coincidentally, does Subversion have an add-on to download a tarball like Git? Seems to me to be correct topic while discussing server updates. - -- DJ Lucas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMS9YbAAoJEIUM+xKzBYsIdOIQAKDy/kL6CInEAkcVmx3fQHzG 5Bsno/6+SB6GsgESCpYfSVQfmYpoU7EPD+qiVK1z56pDCodx1itPcDuD8yTjMADI 0A4l7ZDDtmCQf329Yn/6+VkgmjgfBVKHf1ViY7SDna8kJnJqeZ7V1a3oc+f0tKMJ BfV3xEak5+bk7gkI2yuLF4ra/bTIf619zBIEs+DuvX/PjlHR2tBiOX9K2PMBi2aG Txz3Vbju917szHUcbIyLjoBsMcg/hsgCVxctaIESnRsqdxThuF8Zyk/uwqJwvX6t dAwy8jiYVHirGuJynnT9fzlkia3Zpcq6znoPIZ3KgNGANpbbcPWtwCK0O2FJQXwh PNGE/mu1G8rlk2j6Bwvw/kIEyDH1/4XHZPbqkFeCSEfQcl602Mse5UscEqncItLL 6a7UbQt0bOJR8t6Juv4c+4KmrRkGcxMSgAmvBmDmb2Ry2bP4eXVlXI1u2VIYSraO cwx4St5rJ5WjeUQu4M07480Vfbv8eNrbkaNvIJmGqqFSC4L65nnHSJQ1AcZVeaE2 KIJ8NLQxe3NsN0yJLE6WT3pALdWs4Q2hO9VFiHacSO5lsmC46WgU53f/jKkEcxzp jMagbV6zOXpsRn7JhegAOrdwL78KAjwXSavql3XGcAbVQHpQSEyGK7pXT5MXRkQY GVEK/N0mUS9vSjUXIwhF =hYAV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
