Hey coreboot folks,
people were nagging me to set up a bug tracker for the project.
Last time we dicussed that, we mostly quibbled over the UI and data model (whether the tracker should feature free form vs. structured data bug entry), and that's a discussion I don't want to participate in, so I'm staying out of the decision which bug tracker it should be.
My offer is: Figure out (collectively) what issue tracker is suitable for coreboot, promise you'll help keeping it clean (so it doesn't become a graveyard like our trac instance), and I'll set it up.
Only four constraints as far as I'm concerned: 1. It must be somewhat CPU efficient. Funnily that rules out trac. 2. It must be maintained. I have no interest in watching out for XSS issues myself. 3. It must be OSI friendly licensed. Jira and similar "special license for open source projects we like" stuff doesn't count. 4. It must run on Linux (since that's what the server uses)
It also shouldn't be too esoteric. I reserve the right to simply give up if installing the tracker involves having to figure out how to set up an S/360 emulator, then build the open source issue tracker using a K compiler that can only be found on Abandonware websites that are written in scripts (as in character sets) that I can't read.

http://www.flyspray.org/ (yes, from edgewall)
Quoting http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/FlySpray "Flyspray's development stalled in 2013, but restarted in 2015 with the promise to deliver version 1.0 in April-June 2015." It's now at 1.0b2

Is Bugzilla out of the question?

Well, to add, lynxis (Alexander Couzens) offers to setup a redmine instance. Since that removes admin duties from me, I'm quite in favor of that.
So, redmine?
Patrick
I'm good with redmine, and if Lynxis is going to be the administrator, I think it's reasonable that he should be able to decide in what he's going to be working on.
I had done some looking and thinking about before Lynxis offered to set up redmine, so I'll still present those items.
These were my questions about what the community wanted from a bug tracker: - Is git integration needed or desired? (It might be nice, but I didn't think it was needed) - How about IRC integration? (I'd say no, but i wanted to put it out there) - Any requirements on the language that the tracker is written in? Python, Perl, Php, and Ruby seem to be the choices. - Are there any required login methods? Does it need to support the login types that review.coreboot.org supports? - Is (anonymous) public reporting desired, or do we want to require sign-in and user validation first? (I'd vote for sign in)
These were the results of looking through all of the various defect trackers - mostly from wikipedia's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems
System Git License Language demo or example Bugzilla Yes MPL Perl https://landfill.bugzilla.org/ Flyspray No? LGPL 2.1 PHP https://bugs.flyspray.org/ MantisBT Yes GPL PHP https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/my_view_page.php Redmine Yes GPLv2 Ruby http://demo.redmine.org/ Roundup No MIT Python http://issues.roundup-tracker.org/ The Bug Genie Yes Mozilla PHP http://www.opensourcecms.com/scripts/details.php?scriptid=307&name=The%2...
I did like the looks of Flyspray - It seems pretty light weight - as opposed to bugzilla, which seems overly large for what we need. MantisBT and Redmine were the others that I though looked interesting. Roundup and The Bug Genie didn't particularly appeal to me, but they seemed fit the criteria. Trac and Apache Bloodhound were also initially on my list, but I removed them due to Patrick's comments.

FWIW I'd be happy to host a Trac instance for coreboot. But I'd rather that lynxis runs a redmine, so that I don't have to. ;)

- Are there any required login methods? Does it need to support the
login types that review.coreboot.org supports?
redmine has an omniauth plugin that should allow OpenID and OAuth2 (Google/Github flavor). I'd prefer using that over yet another account database.
- Is (anonymous) public reporting desired, or do we want to require
sign-in and user validation first? (I'd vote for sign in)
We're lucky with gerrit (or maybe OpenID is enough of a hurdle), but anonymous bug trackers tend to be extremely maintenance heavy to sort out the spam. I'd go for requesting OpenID/OAuth accounts, similar to gerrit.

+2 on the OpenID suggestion; I don't like having to maintain what effectively become throwaway accounts on various third-party systems.

Looking at how long it took for people to stop sending award bios disassemblies around to the mailing list, I strongly encourage not having an anonymous service. It's not doing the project a good service.

Let's not do anon service. Our last bug tracker became a transit point for all kinds of junk.

Agreed. OpenID or similar only please.

Hi,
I've started to setup a redmine. The openid integration seems to need more improvements, but it should work as soon ssl works (and a another patch applied).
@Stefan/Patrick Can you create a CName for ticket.coreboot.org -> coreboot.dtn10.de
Next question is, how we handle the ssl stuff. Should we try let's encrypt?

Done.
Hi,
I've setted up a bug tracker.
login/registration via openid, google. New users need a confirmation by zaolin or me. If there is anything missing, I'm happy to receive any feedback.
Best, lynxis

The OpenID login is still not working; additionally I appear to have somehow been locked out of my account and there is no password reset feature (having to handle yet another authentication system with its own bugs is one reason why OpenID was preferred).
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/15 is still a problem; see latest uploads here: https://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=board-status.git;a=commit;h=046dbe64930...
Can someone with tracker access please set that bug to reopened?
Thanks!
