paulr_rombert: it's gonna get a bit silly when we start having multiple tools spamming stuff14:47

rombertok then,  I can revert until we agree to a notification scheme14:49
paulr_although tbh, it might just be easier for me to fork mantis 2 into it's own branch14:50
paulr_could then use production releases at work14:50
paulr_and not have to worry14:50
paulr_victor doesn't code on mantis anymore14:50
paulr_and I have no interest in the 1.2.x branch anymore as adodb does not work on mssql14:51
paulr_you care about soap, atrol cares about user support but tends not to code much and dregad gets to be in the middle :)14:51
rombertyeah, we have the old problem that we don't have focus14:52
paulr_tbh, reason I dont like build spam is at some point14:53
paulr_you get to the point where it goes14:53
paulr_"build failed"14:53
paulr_"build still failing"14:53
paulr_"build still failing"14:54
paulr_which is fine if people are gonna watch it14:54
paulr_but equally, we might let a build fail for a week14:54
paulr_and tbh, my primary focus for mantis is get rid of adodb14:55
paulr_i'm just not willing to spend the time porting the db api changes for a 3rd time14:56
rombertwell, we can have different notification schemes for different branches14:56
rombertwhen you have something that works , even on your own branch, people will be happier to port it on master/master-1.2.x instead of hacking ADODB14:57
rombertand then the build will help us catch regressions14:57
paulr_the db stuff works atm14:57
paulr_even dregads' 1.3x 'attempt to make a working branch' he spent a fair chunk of time pulling back out the language api changes I did - https://github.com/dregad/mantisbt/commit/52dc447359aff3cc815191004023004c88aa835c14:59
paulr_that stuff was a backwards compatible performance enhancement14:59
paulr_==> no need to remove14:59
paulr_apart from that fact it takes ages to put back in14:59
rombertI guess you need to talk to him about it; I know little about that15:00
paulr_going through mantis doing db_query or lang_get changes across whole of mantis basically takes a week or two of effort to do + test15:00
paulr_i've done lang_get strings to lang_get arrays [backwards compatible, faster] to __ngettext as dhx wanted gettext stuff15:01
paulr_and done db_query_bound->db_query_ new db api format15:01
paulr_that's basically a month or two's work15:01
paulr_equals, it's worth me investing 20 hours of work helping each person in the dev team port stuff they've done to 2.x15:03
paulr_and equally 20 hours of time asking why they are not doing that15:03
paulr_given the size of our dev team, I suspect at the end i'd have about a week of sunbathing in the garden left over15:04
paulr_and a 2nd week to test 2.x15:04
paulr_and yes, lack of focus is killing us15:05
rombertI guess people aren't extremely confident in 2.x. Why don't you set up a demo site somewhere, and outline what people need to do to port stuff to it?15:05
rombertwould be much more hands-on15:05
paulr_i might in a week15:05
rombertwould also be good to know the point where you split off, so we know what to port15:06
paulr_got 3 weeks off work from 24th15:06
rombertok15:06
paulr_and as dad's not well, gonna be staying around home15:06
paulr_in terms of point it split off15:06
paulr_that's a mess now15:06
paulr_as some stuff got proted already15:06
paulr_some stuff doesn't apply15:06
paulr_and people have done more then just bugfixes15:07
paulr_in some cases I think we even have same new feature implemented in two different ways15:07
paulr_I gave up a month or two ago at trying to track the differences15:08
paulr_probably the easiest method would be to just reopen the bugs on the tracker, set them to a new status15:09
paulr_and go through testing them one at a time15:09
rombertI wouldn't like that :-)15:10
rombertsince these bugs are actually fixed15:10
rombertbut ... perhaps we can create a new project - mantisbt 215:11
paulr_well, clone them all15:11
rombertyes, and clone them to a new project15:11
paulr_tbh, we should move mantisbt.org away from VPS15:11
paulr_as that just breaks15:11
paulr_and no one seems to care to fix15:11
paulr_and set up some new hosting15:11
romberthttps://www.openshift.com/ seems interesting15:12
rombertwe would be able to run MantisBT + MySQL for free15:13
paulr_i've got a server with 32gb of ram or whatever I pay for to play minecraft on, but tbh, whilst I could run stuff off that, and it would be fast and reliable, that's harder to share between people then a vps15:14
paulr_if you get drift15:14
paulr_my main concern actually with things like this is15:15
paulr_if ever anything happened to whoever hosts server15:15
paulr_we suddenly lose db + domain + everything15:15
paulr_whether that's victor, you, me ,damien whoever15:15
paulr_food - brb15:16
rombertyeah, I agree on that stuff with the server. And that's typically why I push open source stuff on forges15:17
rombertfor instance - why not host docs and website on github?15:17
rombertall we need to 'maintain' then in the domain name15:17
paulr_tbh, I do like self hosting stuff in some cases15:38
paulr_but need to make sure you've got your bases covered15:38
