Hi all,
As of this week, the Inkscape project is shifting to Gitlab for issue tracking in place of Launchpad.
https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues
We've been using Gitlab for our code hosting and other purposes for a year and a half now[1], and have found it to be reliable and convenient. We didn't migrate Issue Tracking until now, so we could take time to make sure we had a plan:
1. Going forward, new bug reports should be filed only in Gitlab.
2. Launchpad will remain available as a historical archive of our bug reports. Filing bugs there will remain possible for now, but discouraged.
3. Bugs in Launchpad that are still reproducible in Inkscape 0.92.4 or newer can be re-filed on Gitlab and closed on Launchpad.
We are planning efforts to help organize the migration work and keep track of progress. More info on this will be coming soon.
Eventually, when the necessary bugs have been migrated, bug reporting in Launchpad will be shut off.
We're enthused about this change, and hope you too will find gitlab a more user friendly way to report issues, and we'd love your help triaging and solving Inkscape bugs.
Bryce
