nuclear_eclipsehi paulr13:35
paulryou've probably observed I got bored @ weekend13:37
* paulr needs help with projects hierachies13:37
nuclear_eclipseI did notice a giant set of commits in IRC, but I don't think I got an email from git... =\13:37
paulrmm, we didn't13:39
* nuclear_eclipse kicks 1.1.x out the door13:54
AndyHI'm having issues trying to start the initial issue numbers of my bug tracking server,  cany anyone help??14:49
nuclear_eclipsewhat's your problem?14:50
AndyHi'm currently evaluating a Mantis as a bug tracking system, and I don't want my issue numbers to start as 00001 and 00002, I want them to be 001001 001002 etc, to start off say from 1000+14:51
giallunuclear_eclipse, can you confirm 1.1.7 update do not need DB schema upgrades?14:51
nuclear_eclipseAndyH: you'll need to alter your database table to start the auto-increment at a higher number14:51
nuclear_eclipsegiallu: correct14:51
giallunuclear_eclipse, ok thanks14:52
AndyHwhere do I alter the database table from? (sorry, I'm new user to Mantis)14:52
AndyHdo I do it from the MySQL end, or the mantis config end?14:52
* giallu preparing the RPM update for Fedora14:52
nuclear_eclipseit's not part of mantis, you'll need to work directly with your database to do that14:52
AndyHI'm currently using MySQL14:52
* nuclear_eclipse recommends setting up phpMyAdmin and using that14:53
AndyHok, once i've installed phpmyAdmin what file would I need to modify14:54
nuclear_eclipseyou'll need to log into phpmyadmin and modify the mantis_bug_table, but I'm not sure how to procede beyond that as I've never done it myself14:55
AndyHOk, thanks for you're help. I'll install phpMyAdmin and see what I can do from there with the mantis_bug_table, thanks for you're help :)14:57
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome14:57
* daryn_away is away: Gone away for now15:50
* daryn is back.15:51
darynnuclear_eclipse and/or paulr can you point me at some info for setting up a git hosting site similar to git.mantisbt or git. mantisforge for intranet use?15:55
paulrgit.mantisforge.org is clever hackery of sshd chroots etc16:04
darynwhere is the docs for actually setting up the environment though...the repo browsing, cloning, creating projects, etc.16:06
daryni assume you're using repo.or.cz16:07
darynpaulr uhg...this is more of a pain than i expected...16:33
paul_daryn: if you come back on msn17:52

nuclear_eclipsedaryn: setting up mantibt.org is trivial; it's when you want the repo forking and stuff from mantisforge.org that it gets crazy18:42
darynright...18:43
nuclear_eclipsemantisbt.org is gitosis + gitweb; you could set it up on any server in about 20 minutes max18:44
darynok. that's a start18:44
nuclear_eclipsegimme a moment, and I'll link you to the gitosis documentation18:44
daryncool. thanks18:45
nuclear_eclipsegitosis is just a set of automation for creating and managing a set of git repositories; once you have that set up, you can rut git-daemon and/or gitweb off a set of symlinks to your gitosis repositories, and you're done18:47
nuclear_eclipsethis is the "best" guide for installing gitosis: http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way18:48
darynthx18:48
nuclear_eclipseand this is the wiki entry I wrote up on how to use it :http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:gitosis_management18:49
paul_daryn: lo19:05
paul_daryn: I can spam you the logs of of when I set it up if you want also19:05

darynonly temporarily19:49
paul_daryn: out of interest, have you ever looked at subprojects in mantis?19:53
darynvery little19:53
paul_nuclear_eclipse: what have you done on/with projects in mantis?19:56
paul_mm, I might just print it out and get a pen ;/19:57
w00terIs it possible to customise Status and Priority on a per project base? I've managed to customise them globally but am seeking for something i can use per project20:10
paul_how did you customise them globally?20:12
nuclear_eclipsew00ter: it's possible to do it by setting those values it the database via Manage Configuration Report20:13
paul_nuclear_eclipse: what have you done on/with projects in mantis?20:13
nuclear_eclipsenot too much other than fixing/improving some tiny things when I made the category ID enhacements20:13
w00terpaul_: I've customised them globally via the howto on mantisbt.org: editting config_inc.php custom_constant_inc.php and custom_strings_inc.php20:14
w00ternuclear_eclipse: How to go about it? Ive seen the option in mantis, but have no clue on how to fill the fields there. Is there a manual or description somewhere on how to use that field?20:16
nuclear_eclipsew00ter: I believe there is a basic description of the format it's expecting buried in the comments of core/config_inc.php20:17
w00ternuclear_eclipse: in the manual there is an example of setting things globally. Is there such an example for the Manage Configuration report?20:18

joel_fonerquick question... just set up mantis 1.2.0a3 on a new linux box, and the confirmation email is delivered to the endpoint email address, but the confirmation link starts with http://localhost - instead of the right hostname... any thoughts on what thing i've forgotten? thanks in advance...21:30
joel_foneris this a mantis thing, or is my mta misconfigured, i guess is the starting point question?21:30
nuclear_eclipsejoel_foner: you're probably accessing it through localhost for testing I assume; by default, it just pulls the URL's from the URL you use to access the instance21:33
joel_foneroh!21:33
joel_fonerok i added the account from the console, and therefore it assumes that's the url.. got it21:33
joel_fonerwas adding it there and picking up mail on another system - oops21:34
joel_fonerthanks21:34
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome21:34
joel_fonerpushes staples "that was easy" button :)21:34
nuclear_eclipse;)21:34
nuclear_eclipseyou can set the preferred URL to override it though21:34
joel_fonerwhere is that? i prowled through the ui and didn't find something like that - is it in a config file somewhere?21:35
nuclear_eclipseset $g_path = 'http://...' in your config_inc.php21:35
nuclear_eclipsesee config_defaults_inc.php for all available settings, and set them in your config_inc.php21:35
joel_fonerahh right thanks21:36
joel_fonerlast q - does roadmap generally work right in this version (1.2.0a3)?  i tried it in the 1.1 release a month or so ago and couldn't get it to behave, but honestly didn't really spend a lot of time trying to figure out why21:36
joel_fonernow i've got a "real project" and figured i'd dig in21:37
nuclear_eclipsethe manual explains how to use it in detail, but basically, you need to set the 'Target Version' value for each bug you want to appear on the roadmap21:37
joel_foneryes... i think i did that..21:37
nuclear_eclipseand the version in question needs to be marked as unreleased21:38
joel_fonerahh i bet that's what it was... i was thinking just has to be dated farther ahead21:38
nuclear_eclipsein 1.1.x, versions defaulted to released status, but that's been fixed in 1.221:38
joel_foner<- goes to re-read21:38
joel_fonerthx21:38
nuclear_eclipseyw21:38
joel_fonerhi nuclear_eclipse... i must be missing something obvious... created a version that is not marked released. assigned an issue to it, and it does not show up in roadmap.. do issues not appear there until they're into workflow maybe?22:03
nuclear_eclipsejoel_foner: note that there's a difference between Target Version, Fixed-In Version, and Product Version; the first two only show up on the advanced update views, and the third has no relation to the roadmap23:06
