Dear Advisory Committee,
the last few years we used Google Code to host the bugtracker for LilyPond, the GNU music engraving program. Google Code was selected mainly for convenience reasons, since one of the main developers worked at Google then. Now Google Code closes, becoming read-only in about two months, and we have to migrate our bugtracker database as soon as possible. This is not a trivial task. First of all, we have almost 4500 bug tracker issues, most of them showing images, which is essential for our development. Unfortunately, Savannah's current bug tracker lacks image display, and the people who could fix this are extremely busy doing other work. For this reason, we have checked and tested other bug trackers, and it seems that Allura (https://allura.apache.org/) has all the features necessary for LilyPond – Allura uses the current Apache License and is thus compatible with GNU. We now ask you to provide us a VM so that we can install (and maintain) Allura by ourselves, not being a burden to the Savannah people. Thanks Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
