Thanks, Joel! I've been complaining several years that we should switch,
but I don't do anything about it :). And I still have no plans to
volunteer.

Scott,

Thanks for these thoughts!  Indeed, JMarc replied a bit after you and I
privately replied to propose a course of action that'll hopefully get me
back to submitting issues.  Thanks to you both for your replies!

Along those lines, you mentioned transitioning to Gitlab.  That's something
I investigated ~1 year ago.  I'm happy to share nascent (and partial) work,
but I'm unsure whether there are any privacy concerns of the metadata that
I propagated, which is why I'm not immediately sharing the link in this
note.

>From that work, I observe that the migration will be somewhat labor
intensive, and many of the formatting "niceties" of legacy issues will be
lost or at least severely diluted.  I'm not entirely happy with the result,
which is why I didn't share progress before now, but perhaps the 90%
solution is acceptable for older issues acknowledging that the 100%
solution for issues and the other tightly integrated interface elements for
future issues (and work) is worth it. I provide this link in case we want
to revisit discussion on this point and to pursue this as an option.

I'm happy to address comments, questions, or concerns in this regard.

Thanks again,
Joel

Re: LyX Bug Tracker Password Reset Behavior

Le 06/03/2022 à 18:32, Joel Kulesza a écrit :

Colleagues,

I've tried to rest my "forgotten password" in the LyX bug tracker.  
However, the emails it sends are failing to reach me (not my inbox or my 
"junk" folder).


Do we know whether everything is working as expected?

Sorry for any inconvenience in this regard—I'm quite certain of my 
password so I'm not sure what the issue is...


Thank you,
Joel



I find this in our logs:

2022-03-06 16:41:34,272 Trac[api] INFO: Password reset user: jkulesza, 
jkule...@gmail.com
2022-03-06 16:41:35,766 Trac[notification] INFO: Sending notification 
through SMTP at localhost:25 to [u'jkule...@gmail.com']

2022-03-06 16:41:35,869 Trac[api] INFO: Updated password for user: jkulesza

I do not see anything wrong here, but of course I do not know what to 
look for.


I can change you password through the trac interface, but I do not know 
whether this would be useful.

Hi Joel,

Arg sorry for that frustration. The bug tracker is pretty old, and
certainly some strange things have happened because of it. I haven't
heard of any recent strangeness along the lines that you've experienced
but I'm also not surprised. I wish I could offer to transfer things to
e.g., GitLab but I just don't have time.

I don't know if there is a way for us to recover your account. Wait
until someone more knowledgeable than I comes along before you try
something. One hackish possibility is that I think it is easy to
*delete* your account. I wonder if we delete your account and you make a
new account with the same user name if trac will treat it continuously
(e.g., if we search for bugs created by  it shows both
old ones and ones with your "new" account).

The messages actually come from Okular, not LyX. They are triggered when
I lock the screen and unlock. I'm not planning to look into them more.
If I had more time, I would report this upstream but I think I will let
this go.

That "smells" (I am thinking about cinnamon, do not ask :-D ) as the right

Let's just leave things as is for now. Perhaps it would make sense for
me to eventually start a separate Beamer example file so that we can
keep the introduction simple.
