Hi Denis,

We had a look at hosted solutions (for Gitlab and for Redmine) - but most of them had been too expensive for our case - they have a limit on the number of users that can be associated with a project, or other limits like file sizes/total project size, etc.

Running our own gitlab instance would have been an option, but no one volunteered to take on the task of permanently maintaining the infrastructure, e.g. dealing with security issues/patching/upgrading, spammers, deal with the evil guys out on the web. Maybe if we can find someone who wants to take on the task (ideally more than one person), we could reconsider to use a self-hosted gitlab.

Note that the new Redmine instance has some integration with github. Jürgen, Richard or Pirmin can tell you the details.

What is so bad with Redmine? And exactly what integration with github are you missing? Maybe Redmine can do this integration.

Hi all,

Being part of the unhappy, I would like to ask if you have considered running our own gitlab instance or using a gitlab service?

To me integrated solution should be a hard requirement.

If we have to maintain something like Redmine, why not gitlab. It seems you can categorize issues.

    Hi,

    The issue tracker was discussed almost 1.5h at the board meeting - and
    it wasn't a clear and unanimous decision. Some board members
    (including
    me) also changed their minds during the discussion. Apparently not all
    core devs were happy with the quite limited filtering and structuring
    options that github offers. The issue tracker is certainly quite
    limited, compared to other issue tracker offerings. Offering only
    labels
    is quite limited. In addition, migrating all the existing tickets from
    Redmine to Github turned out to be non-trivial - and we don't want to
    loose the old issues.

    Finally, it is probably good that we are in control of the issues and
    that it runs on free software. The board knows that not all people are
    happy with this decision but one cannot make everyone happy ... we
    hope
    that the "unhappy" people can still live with the renewed (and faster)
    Redmine.

    The issues are migrated to the newest Redmine version and on a
    dedicated
    machine rented by QGIS.ORG <http://QGIS.ORG> to ensure good
    performance. This should make
    dealing with issues much more pleasant and more performant.

    Big thanks to Jürgen, Richard and Pirmin for dealing with the Redmine
    migration.
