[Qgis-developer] issue move to gh stalled

[Tudor Barascu]

Hi all,
I am volunteering to install, do maintenance if you'll go the gitlab way. I would have said this from the start but I didn't notice that such a discussion was taking place. I am positive that I would manage this I have good enough experience with system administration and I'm actually maintaning a gitlab private instance for about 2 years now.Although I can manage it on my own it would be very nice if somebody else would also be involved.I can also help with migrating the issues from redmine to gitlab. 
 Regards,Tudor

PS. I think gitlab would be the better option

  Hi Denis, We had a look at hosted solutions (for Gitlab and for Redmine) - but most of them had been too expensive for our case - they have a limit on the number of users that can be associated with a project, or other limits like file sizes/total project size, etc.
  Running our own gitlab instance would have been an option, but no one volunteered to take on the task of permanently maintaining the infrastructure, e.g. dealing with security issues/patching/upgrading, spammers, deal with the evil guys out on the web. Maybe if we can find someone who wants to take on the task (ideally more than one person), we could reconsider to use a self-hosted gitlab.
  Note that the new Redmine instance has some integration with github. Jürgen, Richard or Pirmin can tell you the details.
 
 What is so bad with Redmine? And exactly what integration with github are you missing? Maybe Redmine can do this integration.

 Hi all, Being part of the unhappy, I would like to ask if you have considered running our own gitlab instance or using a gitlab service? To me integrated solution should be a hard requirement.  If we have to maintain something like Redmine, why not gitlab. It seems you can categorize issues.  Denis

Hi,
 
 The issue tracker was discussed almost 1.5h at the board meeting - and
 it wasn't a clear and unanimous decision. Some board members (including
 me) also changed their minds during the discussion. Apparently not all
 core devs were happy with the quite limited filtering and structuring
 options that github offers. The issue tracker is certainly quite
 limited, compared to other issue tracker offerings. Offering only labels
 is quite limited. In addition, migrating all the existing tickets from
 Redmine to Github turned out to be non-trivial - and we don't want to
 loose the old issues.
 
 Finally, it is probably good that we are in control of the issues and
 that it runs on free software. The board knows that not all people are
 happy with this decision but one cannot make everyone happy ... we hope
 that the "unhappy" people can still live with the renewed (and faster)
 Redmine.
 
 The issues are migrated to the newest Redmine version and on a dedicated
 machine rented by QGIS.ORG to ensure good performance. This should make
 dealing with issues much more pleasant and more performant.
 
 Big thanks to Jürgen, Richard and Pirmin for dealing with the Redmine
 migration.
