Tearing down Trac
Hello,
A few months ago I spent quite a bit of time setting up a Trac instance
to manage the bug tracker of ATF. That was fun but was mostly done for
my own issue tracking. However, it has since then been used by a few
people (although I don't know what the feelings are).
The experiment has made me realize a few (very obvious) things: first,
that Trac is too slow to be decently usable on my modest hardware;
second, that maintaining such a service from my home machine is fragile
and annoying[1]; and third, that the inevitable will happen (I will
change apartments soon -- fsvo soon -- and there will be a severe
downtime of the service).
To ease the burden, I would like to do the following. Keep in mind that
Kyua[2] is where my efforts are mostly focused on nowadays, and I am
taking care to not repeat most of the major issues (in my eyes) of the
existing ATF codebase. (This means that some items become impliedly
"obsolete".)
* Move generic tickets referring to "big projects" (e.g. parallel
execution) to the Kyua bug tracker. [ This bug tracker is not ad-hoc,
so I don't have to maintain anything and is way faster. ]
* Close tickets that ask for refactorings already implied by the design
of (and/or already implemented in) Kyua. (Maybe mention them in a TODO
file.)
* Move smaller, atf-specific to-do items (e.g. atf-run cli should do
this and that) to a TODO file in the tree. (These items can be
addressed at the same time as Kyua is developed, and be part of new
releases.)
* Move bug reports to the NetBSD GNATS.
I have been applying the above to a good amount of existing tickets but
now I am left with a tiny subset of tickets contributed by other people.
Closing them directly is nasty (apologies if I have already done that
to one of yours).
So... would anyone object to any of the above? (The main goal being:
free me from the tricky administration of this poor service, which means
spending more of my limited free time coding ;-)
Thanks!
1: I have been meaning to fix a few issues with my machine for a while,
but they all require a reinstall and I don't want to go through the set
up of Trac, Monotone, Apache, et. al. again for the few benefit that
they provide. :-P

PS: Yes, this effectively means go "back in time" to what we had before.
