[Arsperl-devel] arsperl 1.82

[Jeff M. <jcm...@os...>]

i'm slowly getting the SF site in order. 


done
   project created
   cvs archive imported
   mailing lists created
   preliminary 'tracker' configurations

todo
   move web pages to project dir
   import mailing list archives and move list
   adjust arsperl.org to point to sf site
   finish tracker configuration
   test CVS head
      tag head as 1.82
      release 1.82



what i'd like from matt/jarl is an "OK" on the cvs code. given that,
i'll tag it and release it. jeff has already committed patches to it and
i just want the rest of the 'dev team' to OK them.

i'd also appreciate it if someone examined the SF 'tracker' stuff and
see how we can best configure it to track bugs and feature requests.
possibly disable the 'patches' and 'support requests' trackers. 

it looks like you can add trackers, and within each tracker, you can
define categories and groups. this is a little problematic because we
cant easily have a user submit their API version, etc. you can do
something like

tracker=Bugs
   categories=compiling, installing, usage, documentation
   groups=1.81, 1.82 ? 

but we cant force them to select an api version. so i foresee a bit of
"what api are you compiling against?" "what os?" type followup questions
unless we try to do something like

tracker=1.81-Bugs
   categories=compiling, installing, usage, documentation
   groups=linux+5.x, linux+6.0, windows+5.x, windows+6.0

i dont know. i dont see any graceful way of having the system gather the
appropriate data for us. i'm open to suggestions. 

once we get all of the above tasks addressed, i'll send out the 2.x plan
for discussion.
