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

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
