Sup! When we introduced RedMine, Github issues were very limited. Calm down, this is just a review of what's missing from Github issues, I am not planning to propose or do anything :-) Let me do quick review of missing features as of today (fall 2017) and possible mapping to issues:
REDMINE - ISSUE Status = Label Priority = Label Assigned To = Assignee Category = Label Target version = Milestone Difficulty = Label Found in release = Label Votes = Reaction (+1) Related issue = Issue link Issue type = Subject (e.g. [TRACKER]) Bugzilla link = ??? So theoretically, we could map mostly everything to labels. There are two ways of creating those labels, free form or with prefix. The latter would look like: Status-NeedMoreInfo Priority-Urgent Cat-Hostgroups Difficulty-Easy FoundIn-1.16 That looks ugly, frankly I'd prefer free form, because we often only set just few (if not none) of the flags - Found In Version is one of the most important ones and that could be as simple as "In 1.16". So basically, we are missing bugzilla link and private comments. Is the BZ link item only informative, or is there some non-human processing behind? I know there is a bot but does it need BZ link? It could search comments for some token for the same thing. For private issues we could use Bugzilla (usually security bugs only), there is no solution other than pay them for private repo. Or maybe I miss the main reason why we are not using Github issues at all? I like github integration with PRs, speed and good reliability (only few blackouts per year) and also new features like projects. On the other hand, it's full commitment to something not under our control (today we can easily move our git somewhere else, but we still loose all PRs). This email is just to discuss possibilities, I know that migration to Github would be painful and even too expensive or perhaps technically not doable (how to migrate so many tickets). It's a pitty that github is now getting features it really needed. I also really like gitlab which is packed with super nice features, theoretically migration to something like that would be easier (open source). On the other hand, we'd need to host this and one thing is having redmine down for an hour, different thing is inability to push. But this is definitely a possibility, we also have some know how already running our internal instance. *Sigh* -- Later, Lukas @lzap Zapletal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
