Hi all, next in the "post vacation meditation" group of messages ;)
In december on this list, we had the discussion that github issue trackers could potentially benefit getting more contributions. At that time, I pointed out that we may run into troubles if we need to switch from github to some other platform in the future - plus some current contributors may not like the github system. On second and third thought, I realized that we already used and use a couple of differnent trackers, and all of these have entries in the change log. Among them are the old sourceforge.net trackers, Red Hat, Debian and SuSe bugzillas, the official Adiscon rsyslog bugzilla as well as the support forums. I also tend to link to other third-party sites if I fix something that's described there (even Google+, for example). In conclusion, we already have the problem that many of those URLs are not under our control and may go away without any chance to fix it. Github would be no exception from this rule. Actually, this never caused a problem (mabye because most of the URLS, even sf.net, still work ;)). The ChangeLog also always contains a base discription, so the information is present in any case. As such, I would actually be very interested to experiment with github issue trackers. As a first test, I have enabled issues in the newly created rsyslog-pkg-ubuntu repo. Please let me know if you think my new position on this topic is wrong. I like the lively discussions we have on this list and really value all those arguments. Let's try to make the best decision for our project. Just to be extra-clear: I would not disable the current bugzilla, but would enable github issues for the rsyslog main project in addition to that (the systems can be interlinked if required; we already do this with some of the other systems). Looking forward to your reply.
