Hi guys,
One thing i did some time ago was to begin creating a Launchpad PPA for
Shoebot, so that it is easier to have Ubuntu users install it. Also,
Stani from Phatch gave me really good advice -- we need to have our
project visible to users and easy to install, so that it gets
credibility and becomes visible to packagers who can then consider
adding it to the Ubuntu repositories.
I'll go back to the packaging effort soon, so that we can have a release
of what we have and begin switching to Stu's new branch.
While looking at Launchpad, and getting some inspiration from the
Puredyne guys, i am seriously thinking of moving the bug tracker to a
Launchpad page for Shoebot. Rationale:
- maintaining Trac is a huge pain, and i gave up on that years ago
- Trac's interface needs a lot of tweaking to become minimally friendly
- and right now, filing a bug is a scary process, doesn't invite newbies
at all, due to a bad interface with too many options and blabla
- the big advantage of Trac would be cross-checking bugs with the
source, but we don't do this a lot
Anyone against a move to Launchpad for our bug tracker?
