Hi, For the reasons described in [0], the bug tracker CHICKEN used for many years, Trac, had to be discontinued. To replace it, we have developed a new tool, tick [1], which is now being used to track CHICKEN tickets.
tick is a command line tool, and uses git as backend storage for tickets. Tickets in tick are just plain text files in git, with some associated metadata. The Trac database has been imported into tick's. Trac ticket ids have been preserved and mapped to SHA1 hashes, which are what tick uses to identify tickets. For text markup, tick uses the same syntax as the CHICKEN wiki's [3] (svnwiki syntax). Trac used a different markup syntax, and some of it was converted to svnwiki syntax when tickets were imported into tick's database. The conversion is far from perfect, but it is acceptable for the current purposes. https://bugs.call-cc.org now only serves static HTTP pages generated out of the tick database (i.e., git repository of tickets). Currently write access the repository of eggs is only available to CHICKEN maintainers. We have updated the instructions for the submission of issues [2], which includes an option that involves tick.
