Re: Possible change from LaunchPad bugs to GitHib issues

 

BJ, that is a good point. Having a straight forward way for community members to submit issues is important. I think there might be a few creative solutions that might make it workable.

The initial iuscommunity/wishlist was created as a starting point for testing. The README.md needs updating and would need detailed information about the preferred location to submit an issue. If you have a bug for php54 then submit it to the php54 repo. If you have a package request, general question or not sure where to file an issue, the iuscommunity/wishlist repo (or other name) can be used. The down side to for using that repo for catch all is GitHub does have a way to move an issue to a different repo. Looks like github-issues-import[0] could be a work around for this problem, although not the most elegant approach.

Yep… you can view them… but there are no end-user controls to say… create an issue, etc.  It’s just a high level overview that links you to the individual project/repo.  Not really a feasible option unfortunately.

The Github issue dashboard does allow you to view issues at the organization level, or even multiple organzations.

Ness and I had this same dilemma back in the day.  Super annoying in this use case that GitHub doesn’t have issue tracking at the organization level.  What we don’t want is managing bugs/feature requests across 300 repos for every package.  Need everything in one place, however I don’t think that “wishlist” is the best terminology.  I think we should have a single project for managing all interaction with community including bugs, feature requests, wishlist items, etc.  Those should all be tags/labels under the same project.

I would suggest “iuscommunity/support” which covers all that pretty generically…. or something similar.

Greetings,

The ius-coredevs have been debating if IUS should switch from using
LaunchPad bugs to GitHib issues. We have really been enjoying GitHib
for source control and GitHib does a good job integrating issues with
source control and pull requests. Unfortunately, Github does not have a
native way to submit an issue for an entire organization for things like
new package requests. We are currently testing a dedicated repo for new
package requests[0] and are looking for feedback. Please let us know if
you have any thoughts about moving away from LaunchPad bugs and to
GitHib issues.

-Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team
