I forgot. There's one other thing I wanted to point out about phabricator. To properly use it, you must have php installed wherever you are working from. I like that it uses PHP on the server side, but despise that it uses it on the client side. I also have a few questions: * Who's going to get stuck with maintaining the LDAP support? * Does it already integrate with Jenkins? * Does it use the system SSH, or a separate SSH daemon? * What permissions model does it have? * Does it manage the repositories and branches? * How are repos created? * Does it support server side branches? * Does it handle merges automatically? - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
