[SAC] Access to GDAL Trac database

[Regina Obe]

If Even and rest of GDAL are willing to try gitea/gogs, I'd be willing to do the work of the port.

 

                Sandro has already done a proof of concept.  I would like to see this work.

 

                I think what we have at stake here is something bigger than GDAL moving.

                It's our trust in the very foundation of SAC and to a larger extent OSGeo  and it's usefulness to help with infrastructure support and manage that support.

                I'd like to help in restoring that trust.  We've got things like maling lists, OSGeo support, and project websites that need a strong SAC.  Also tons I'd like to see that could be possible with a stronger SAC.

 

                Thanks,

Regina

Frank,

First, I'd like to clarify the amusing part.

Six people responded so far and here are pro-GitHub counts:

+1   Dmitry, Even, Kurt, Tamas, Mateusz
  0   Daniel (not sure hot to interpret Daniel's voice though)

So, I assumed that those who did not respond are either
indifferent or will agree with any of the three proposed choices.
That is what I called silence == agreement.

Nobody has offered help in migration to any of the two other choices
proposed by Even.
If someone offers help to migrate to OSGeo gig/gogs, and if GDAL team
decides to go for it,
or if anyone from GDAL team asks me specifically to not to work on the
migration,
I'll be happy to fade away.

Even asked for help and, as incurable one who compulsively has to dunk
a hand in something, I thought I may **try** to help.

I don't advocate for GitHub.
I just like to use GitHub for pragmatic reasons.

I do not offer myself to help migrating to OSGeo git/gogs though.


Moving back to the topic:

The dump file will certainly work.
I can import it to local database and use for prototyping
Once the thing works, we can run it based on the original database, I guess.

I assume the attachment files are important part and have to be moved
along the tickets,
so yes, please pack it up all together.

Regards,
Mateusz
