i can help with sutup it, maybe a Trac, Redmine or a project in github
i think that can be usefull to trac the bugs, whislists, have a roadmap
etc.. i mean a official bug tracker

Ahoy Ragnarok,

For what it's worth, I like this idea.

I mentioned this before on IRC as well. From my memory of our discussion, as it's a small group of developers, the preference is to avoid using a hulking
ticketing system. But I'll let the others chime in on that.

I think it would help others apart from the developers. It provides a good place to confirm whether you've discovered a bug or known issue, is being resolved, etc..

When we look at trac and other similar systems, you can use a much, or as little of it as you like.

Kind regards,

We think (and chat) about it all the time. We would want DoVeNet and CVS integration at least (this can be done via the mainling list stuff) with the following:

1) When a new bug is created, a DoVeNet post is also created (most trackers can
send an email, the mailing list stuff can handle this).

2) When a DoVeNet post regarding the bug is replied to, the reply is imported into the bug database (trickier, but I think the mailing list stuff can handle this as well for most bug trackers).

3) Some way for a CVS commit to reference the bug, and update the status. A CVS commit hook would be the method to do this, and various projects I've worked on have supported this type of thing. I've never wrote a commit hook before though.

I think that would be the minimum and would require help from DigitalMan... and
it may need to be ran on cvs.synchro.net for tighter integration.

Ideally, this wouldn't need to go through mailing list translation and could instead use Synchronet tools to directly work with the message bases.

We (mainly you) had a Gnats bug tracking database online for Synchronet with web and msg network integration and no one used it. I'd hate to repeat all that
work for a new bug database only to have it go unused again.

I'd be happy to host whatever bug tracker. I just use my local "sbbs todo list"
msgbase myself.

good!
can you provide more info to get access ?

i only found 2 gnats references, a old news on July 16, 2005 and exec/gnats_cvs.js, but bugs.synchro.net is down.

To the Gnats database? It was taken down (or fell down) due to non-use.

Yup, no one used it, so we didn't maintain it and it died.
