Puppet users - Jun 2008 - Redmine migration - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

We have made the move from Trac to Redmine.

Redmine is a fully featured and rich ticketing and project
management system.  You can find information about Redmine at
http:///www.redmine.org.  You can find help documentation at
http://www.redmine.org/guide.

The new ReductiveLabs.com Redmine instance is available at:

http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/

An important caveat!  We have not yet moved all components.

* So what has moved?

1.  Ticketing.
2.  Repository Browsing

We have disabled access to the Trac ticket creation functions to prevent
new tickets being raised in Trac.  So please log all tickets at the new
Puppet and Facter sites!  The new project specific sites for Puppet and
Facter are:

http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/projects/show/puppet
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/projects/show/facter

Most of the other ReductiveLabs projects will move onto Redmine in the
coming weeks.

* What hasn''t moved?

1.  Wiki

The wiki stays puts as part of Trac for the moment.  We''ll will be
migrating that at a later date - all help or indeed someone volunteering
to do this would be great.  So please edit in place at the current wiki
until we make this move.

2.  Files

The current download locations stay.

* Do I need to register again?

No.  You don''t need to register again as almost all users have been
migrated from Trac to Redmine.

When logging into Redmine your user name remains the same and your
password has been reset to "trac".  You should sign-in, confirm your
current email address is appropriate, your other details are correct and
most importantly - RESET YOUR PASSWORD.

A very few older users (who have not logged for 12 months or more) may
not have migrated but it is a quick and easy process to re-create your
user account if this has occurred.

* Summary

We''re working to make the migration as smooth as possible but some bugs
are likely to appear.  Additionally, there may be some broken links or
references to old Trac pages and processes.  Please email me directly to
mention these and I''ll fix them promptly.

Thanks

James Turnbull

Hey all,

are there plans on implementing a new structure in the wiki?
In my opinion it is a bit structure-less now and information is hard to 
find.

So if there is any new developed information structure to implement, I 
would love to know about it, before I spent some hours copying over 
texts from trac to redmine.

Well free to post any ideas for a new structure for discussion.

There isn''t at this stage and it''s not 100% clear
we''ll migrate the wiki
to Redmine at all.  We need to cater for the numerous documents in
Restructured Text in any final solution - either by parsing them or
finding a wiki that caters for them directly.

James Turnbull

Hi James,

I''m very interested, why did you choose this tool over trac?

Thanks,
Ohad

There are a list of reasons - the major ones below but not limited to this:

1.  Better ticket workflow including ability to do proper custom workflows
2.  More flexible multi-project model
3.  Search works across all projects
4.  More ticket management features including ability to edit ticket notes
5.  The repository browsing is about the same although hopefully Redmine
will shortly support multiple repos including those hosted on GitHub.
There is very infrequent development for Trac''s Git plug-in(s).
6.  Doesn''t require 20 plugins to do the work we require.
7.  Thusfar appears more stable than Trac - especially the very flaky
Trac Git plugin.
8.  It''s prettier.
9.  It''s Ruby.
10.  Future features - though turned off now in our installation Redmine
also supports a File download section, a News section, forums/boards,
time tracking, and a Document repository.

Happy to discuss in more detail off-list if you''d like.

Regards

James Turnbull
