Subject: migrating trac instance to gitea
Message-ID: <CAFWXLWUgV+iO1gy8YZJMb8QBDbLDhHaXez2quZWM2EJ3KFD-wA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all: as part of the ongoing discussions at the OSGeo Board
concerning OSGeo services provisioning, we realize and strongly
support the gitea instance at [1], as a modern, Git-based version
control, issue tracker and wiki for the OSGeo community.  In addition,
it would be valuable to streamline this capability and reduce services
providing similar functionality.

Having said this, we would want to decommission the Trac instance [2]
in lieu of gitea, and discuss its implementations with you before
initiating a Board motion.

Can SAC enumerate projects currently using the instance, and whether
gitea could serve their needs instead?

Thanks

..Tom

I would be preferred (for the website issues reported to trac).

Indeed trac was cited as a ooor experience when looked at what could be
done to make OSGeo more welcoming.

PostGIS , OSGeo, OSGEO4W I think are the prime users of trac.

For the wiki piece of PostGIS we have been migrating the wiki part to our website and are largely done with that.
I think the trac ticketing piece will take a bit more time but is on our PostGIS roadmap to do.

OSGeo I think is doable.

In all cases it's the level of effort to migrate the tickets and see if we can keep the same numbering.

Grass I think still uses it for some things but not sure.

The others it's just a historical history of old tickets that may not have been migrated to github.

GRASS uses esp. the old tickets on trac for reference.
We would be very grateful to see the GRASS trac instance migrated as well.

Thanks
