Hi, the pdfTeX project needs a system for tracking bugs, patches and feature requests (whenever I integrate all the latest patches and look for open bugs I fear I forget one).
We could of course set up the needed software by ourself, but there are already places that offer the needed services. I did a quick survey: - Sourceforge (http://sf.net): - Tracker for bugs, support requests, patches, feature requests - Limited to OSI-compatible software (which pdfTeX is) - Savannah (savannah.nongnu.org): - Tracker for bugs, support requests, patches - Limited to GPL-compatible software (which pdfTeX is) - Emphasises on freeness - Berlios (berlios.de): - Tracker for bugs, support requests, patches - Not limited to OSI-compatible software (which pdfTeX is) - It seems you can't automatically get mail about new bugs/patches - Management is german
It seems Sourceforge is offering the most with the least strings attached.
I propose we set up pdfTeX at Sourceforge in the near future (post-Hawaii) for project management but keep the sources in the p4 repository at DANTE/TeXlive (it works perfectly).
Comments?
sounds great to me. I'd personally prefer sf. Thanh
