| nuclear_eclipse | dhx_m: around? | 14:51 |
|---|---|---|
| RB__ | hello all | 15:44 |
| RB__ | looking for some help on configuration | 15:45 |
| daryn | RB__ post your question, if someone is around who knows, they'll answer | 15:46 |
| RB__ | Ok, Trying to understand the Configuration Tool inside Mantis (Database Configuration) finally moved our old instance to te new. Cant anywhere on how to use the configuration tool correctly. trying to modify severity_enum_string for a project | 15:48 |
| RB__ | from what i did before i had to modfiy a couple of places to change the severity | 15:48 |
| daryn | you can still do that in config_inc.php unless you need project specific severities | 15:50 |
| RB__ | i do need to do it project specfic | 15:52 |
| daryn | ok...i'm not as familiar with that | 15:56 |
| daryn | the two variables are g_severity_enum_string and s_severity_enum_string - s_* is the localization string | 15:56 |
| RB__ | yeah thats what i changed before, but i cant define either g or s in the configuartor | 16:01 |
| RB__ | verifying now though | 16:01 |
| RB__ | Configuration option "s_severity_enum_string" not found. | 16:02 |
| RB__ | Configuration option "g_severity_enum_string" not found. | 16:02 |
| RB__ | Configuration option "$s_severity_enum_string" not found. | 16:02 |
| daryn | i think it defaults to add the g_ . the s_ might have to be done in the custom_strings_inc file as an array or something...not sure | 16:02 |
| RB__ | ok, thanks for your help, | 16:03 |
| paulr | moo | 18:33 |
| nuclear_eclipse | hi paulr | 18:33 |
| paulr | lo | 18:33 |
| paulr | tbh | 18:35 |
| paulr | re github | 18:35 |
| paulr | git is shared | 18:35 |
| paulr | so it doesn't matter where we mirror to | 18:35 |
| paulr | only thing i'd say is it makes some sense to push to git.mantisbt.org | 18:36 |
| nuclear_eclipse | well, the point is to still have a canonical place to point everybody at | 18:36 |
| paulr | can always direct users to a github mirror | 18:36 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and my point is to do away with git.mantisbt.org | 18:36 |
| paulr | we've still got git.mantisforge.org at that point mirroring stuff | 18:36 |
| paulr | I think whilst github is nice - we dont want users downloading raw zips of tags | 18:39 |
| nuclear_eclipse | well, no, you can turn off that page | 18:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | it just defaults to being on | 18:40 |
| daryn | why do we care? | 18:40 |
| paulr | from my pov, I actually find the gitweb interface easier to use | 18:40 |
| paulr | but that's a user thing | 18:40 |
| paulr | daryn: as release builds != raw repo | 18:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | daryn: for one thing, downloading a zip of a tag means it comes with no built documentation for one thing | 18:40 |
| daryn | yeah but...that's not really our problem is it? i mean if the full deal is there and someone wants it without...who cares? | 18:41 |
| nuclear_eclipse | right | 18:41 |
| paulr | we have to support it though to an extent | 18:41 |
| paulr | anyway | 18:41 |
| daryn | can't we point gitweb at github repos? | 18:41 |
| nuclear_eclipse | fwiw, users could pull snapshots of anything from gitweb | 18:41 |
| nuclear_eclipse | no | 18:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | gitweb requires looking at the actual repo data | 18:42 |
| paulr | I'm not really sure what driver is to kill git.mantisbt.org | 18:42 |
| paulr | for commiting at least | 18:42 |
| paulr | I mean, I can tend to commit atm when i need without incidence | 18:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | paulr: it's not easy to manage if you want to add new developers | 18:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | well, compared to github, it's not easy :P | 18:43 |
| paulr | and we get new dev's how often? :P | 18:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and if we decide to add new repos, it's also easier to do all that through git | 18:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and on top of all that, like I said in the email, using github as our primary repo means there's an official method for maintaining your own fork and submitting pull requests | 18:44 |
| paulr | well two method's as you can currently create a fork on git.mantisforge.org | 18:46 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yes, but requiring users to fork on mantisforge is a) not obvious or as simple/straightforward, and b) we seem to consistently have issues regarding whether mantisforge is actually usable at any given time | 18:48 |
| paulr | well, only when server itself died ;p | 18:48 |
| nuclear_eclipse | not just then... | 18:48 |
| daryn | right...on multiple occasions | 18:48 |
| daryn | and finding you was the only resolution | 18:48 |
| nuclear_eclipse | there've been a lot of cases where it looks like it was working, but we couldn't push to it | 18:48 |
| paulr | iirc that was a before server got upgraded | 18:49 |
| paulr | I dont recall any issues since then ;p | 18:49 |
| paulr | before it used to sometimes run out of ram trying to run unit tests etc | 18:49 |
| daryn | but we're still dependent on you | 18:49 |
| daryn | whereas github is a large managed service...that is free | 18:50 |
| leetcode_06429 | I have a question with source control integration: I just installed the source integration plugins (meta, source control integration, subversion, websvn). The configuration page is accessible but I cannot find the link for setting up a repository. Can anybody give me a hint, please? | 18:50 |
| nuclear_eclipse | leetcode_06429: if you have admin access, it's on the repositories page | 18:51 |
| paulr | daryn: I wasn't the only person with a logon to that box at one point | 18:51 |
| paulr | daryn: I've kinda said anyone can have a logon | 18:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | paulr: you're still the only one that actually understands how any of that stuff works | 18:51 |
| paulr | that might be more true | 18:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | just because we have a logon doesn't mean we can fix things | 18:51 |
| leetcode_06429 | nuclear_eclipse: Thank you! I have admin acces but where can I find the repositories page? | 18:51 |
| daryn | ok...i didn't really know that but i still wouldn't want to have to troubleshoot it if i don't have to | 18:52 |
| paulr | the main reason i'd be against changing the core git.mantisbt.org is | 18:52 |
| paulr | that it breaks existing checkout's | 18:52 |
| nuclear_eclipse | leetcode_06429: if the plugin sare installed correctly, it adds a link in the main menu | 18:52 |
| nuclear_eclipse | paulr: that's a rather worthless reason IMO :P | 18:52 |
| paulr | not really | 18:52 |
| nuclear_eclipse | it's a single git command to change the origin remote | 18:52 |
| daryn | paulr: it isn't that hard to set up a new remote | 18:53 |
| leetcode_06429 | nuclear_eclipse: Thanks a lot, I just found it! | 18:53 |
| nuclear_eclipse | leetcode_06429: you're welcome | 18:53 |
| paulr | from the point of view of http://git.mantisforge.org/ | 18:53 |
| daryn | plus you can use HG with github | 18:53 |
| daryn | :P | 18:53 |
| paulr | using github probably helps as git.mantisbt.org can be less stable | 18:53 |
| paulr | for pulling | 18:53 |
| daryn | nuclear_eclipse: is it possible to point git.mantisforge.org at github? | 18:54 |
| paulr | you mean git.mantisbt.org? | 18:54 |
| daryn | yeah | 18:54 |
| daryn | that | 18:54 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yeah, we can easily do some redirects | 18:54 |
| paulr | point git.mantisbt.org to git.mantisforge.org | 18:54 |
| paulr | have git.mantisforge.org mirror from github | 18:55 |
| paulr | allow bi-directional commits from git.mantisforge.org back to github | 18:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I'd rather point git.mantisbt.org at github if that's going to be the canonical repository | 18:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | bi-directional commits between two repos would just cause *lots* of headaches... | 18:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I'm fine with mantisforge being a read only mirror and forking point like it already is, but allowing people to commit to either place will just be insane to set up | 18:56 |
| paulr | nuclear_eclipse: GRR | 19:41 |
| paulr | There was a problem serving the requested page. | 19:41 |
| paulr | Usually this means that an unexpected error happened while | 19:41 |
| paulr | processing your request. Here's what you can try next: | 19:41 |
| paulr | when trying to do an issue search | 19:41 |
| nuclear_eclipse | why'd you break it? | 19:42 |
| paulr | I tried to do a search in github :/ | 19:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | an issue search on github? | 19:43 |
| paulr | think so | 19:43 |
| paulr | dunno! | 19:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | /shrug | 19:43 |
| paulr | pos | 19:43 |
| paulr | :) | 19:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | never really did any searching from their system | 19:43 |
| paulr | to be fair, not sure i've had it error before :P | 19:44 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I know they utilize a lot of caching, so I wonder if the search took too long and the cache killled the request | 19:44 |
| daryn | what were you searching for? | 19:44 |
| paulr | windows | 19:44 |
| daryn | i searched windows and got results | 19:45 |
| paulr | what time is it where dhx is ? | 20:36 |
| daryn | 6:40 am ish i think...that's sydney anyway not sure what city he's in | 20:41 |
| paulr | am or pm? | 21:08 |
| daryn | note the 'am' after 6:40 :P | 21:08 |
| paulr | :( | 21:09 |
| daryn | he was up late too. we were chatting around 3am his time | 21:10 |
| paulr | that was 3 hours ago? | 21:15 |
| daryn | something like that | 21:16 |
| RB__ | going to check to see if anybody new can answer my question from this morning | 22:54 |
| RB__ | is it possible to use the "Database Configuartor" in mantis to change the "severity_enum_string" at a project level | 22:55 |
