I updated the roundup package on bluesock (the server that hosts the Pyblosxom bug tracker) and inadvertently stomped on the fix I made to roundup. Then I started getting lots of error emails from roundup because it's "helpful". Took me about 30 minutes to figure out how I fixed it the last time and re-fix it. Irritating. That got me thinking. A while back, when we talked about switching to git and picking a host, I remember a lot of people said they already had github accounts. I picked gitorious because at the time is was close enough feature-wise and it was Free Software. I picked roundup because it seemed like a decent choice. At this point, I want to revisit those decisions. I'm thinking of moving things around in this way: 1. Move from gitorious to github. In doing this, we gain post-commit hooks some of which are wildly useful, an issue tracker, inline comments for pull requests, probably an order of magnitude more people who already have github accounts and who are used to drive-by-fixes, and probably some other github features I haven't yet discovered. 2. Move the Pyblosxom manual to ReadTheDocs. We're already using Sphinx. If we switch to github, then it's a post-commit hook to update it everytime something gets checked in. This would be really nice. 3. Ditch roundup and use the github issue tracker. After that we can see where things are at. Any thoughts on this? Is anyone against it? If not, I'm going to do this before releasing 1.5 since I want to update the urls everywhere. Hopefully before the end of this year. /will |
