Re: Old bug tracker / bug migration
by Nathan Lee 23 Feb '21

Hi Max, I thought I'd add some input instead of staying silent (Thanks for cc'ing the Bug Wranglers in Patrick!). As I understand it, now that we know bugs can still be accessible, the main objection is to keep the bug migration game going (and the effort spent to make sure it's done right). It looks like the workaround with the teams will work smoothly, without adding much of a barrier to the bug migration game. Just to make sure, would anyone still be able to update existing issues? (e.g. status changed, comments added, receive notifications for these) If the existing issues aren't modifiable, I would prefer to keep launchpad as is till the bug migration game is over though (perhaps we should consider when it should be closed if we can't migrate them all over. If existing issues are modifiable, don't have any objections from my end. I do notice that there is a steady trickle of bug reports that are consistently opened; closing the page does seem helpful even while the bug migration is going on since we are wasting time dealing with these reports anyway. The last objection is the effort spent. Well, thanks for picking up this task again and investigating! Regards, Nathan.

Old bug tracker / bug migration
by Maximilian Gaukler 21 Feb '21

21 Feb '21

Hi all, every once in a while, people still report bugs on the old bug tracker on launchpad.net. Currently, the bug tracker was left open so that we can still read old bugs and move them over to GitLab. With some help from Launchpad.net support <https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/695519> I figured out that we can disable bug submission there without losing access to the old bugs: https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+configure-bugtracker -> Setting: Bugs are tracked: "somewhere else". I tried that temporarily for a few seconds, and it seems to work: Then, the main links "Bugs" and "Report a bug" on Launchpad disappear. However, one can still search for bugs using the direct link to the "advanced search": https://bugs.launchpad.net/~inkscape.bugs/+bugs?advanced=1 Links to old bugs still work, e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/682585 Maybe in the future we could import the old bugs to a separate GitLab project, so that one can find all bugs (inbox, real bugs, old launchpad bugs) using the single URL https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues . And/or mass-close the largest part of the old bugs, at least those that are not confirmed/triaged and have not been updated for many years. Looking forward to hear your thoughts. Best regards and have a nice weekend Max

Calling German-speaking Inkscape Community members (and those who don't mind to communicate in English with German Linux users)!
by Maren Hachmann 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi everyone, the Inkscape project is going to host a virtual booth/stand at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage, on March 13 and 14 this year! We have already gathered a small booth team of 4, possibly 5, but the CLT (Chemnitzer Linuxtage) are all-day events and we could use your help answering user questions about how to work with the program, how to contribute to it and about what is going on in the Inkscape community. We might even do some short, up to 20min topic-focused sessions, if someone would like to organize (one of) them. So, if you're a developer, a forum member, a regular user support provider in our chat channels, an Inkscape translator, or are contributing to the project more or less regularly in any other way, and you have some time available to spend helping the Inkscape project on that weekend in March, please introduce yourself at the GitLab issue report where we're discussing the event organization! We would also be glad to have someone on board from any of the maker labs or similar communities, who are proficient in helping with maker topics, or who can demo something interesting in a short session (or both :) ). Or if you'd like to present the top 10 Inkscape extensions that people must know about, or do a quick drawing session, or want to tell people how to compile Inkscape and get started with development or ... whatever you can think of. ****************** Please get in contact with us as soon as possible and find more info at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/192 Let us know how you can help make the booth an interesting place for visitors to drop by! ****************** We're going to have a meeting with all those interested in about a week, so it would be good to hear from you before that. I'm going to announce the meeting time in a separate message. Hope to see you - and if you are not able to join us at the booth, consider visiting us there! Kind Regards Maren
