How and Where to report bugs in Ruby 1.9.n?

Hi!

I don’t know how and where to report about bugs in Ruby 1.9.n. Does
there an official way exist?

Hi,

I was curious about where to ruby bugs are submitted recently too.
After looking around a bit, I was able to find this
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby/ .

Interesting, but is it the place recommended by Mats and the kernel
team?

Ruby Core says either put them
on there or email the ruby-core mailing list.

Yes. We are (vaguely) planning on making BTS for the core team, but
until then, rubyforge bug tracker and ruby-core list works.

          matz.

Why not use an existing one?

Bugzilla [http://www.bugzilla.org/] has worked well for mozilla, and
other projects.
I personally like trac [http://trac.edgewall.org/] more though.

There is a huge list of them here:

Many I haven’t heard of. There are a good number of free/open source
ones. Might be worth a look before writing one.

If the core team is willing to spec out what they need out of their
BTS, I might be willing to build it. I have a need to build one for
another project, so, if our needs are similar, I would certainly try
and support your wishes as well.

What about Mingle? It’s JRuby, but it’s still Ruby :wink:

(I’m playing with it for work; I’m sure that ThoughtWorks would love
to work with the Ruby community on this, though.)

Here’s the my requirements expressed in [ruby-dev:32794]:

  • written in Ruby
  • can be worked with Subversion (namely our repository)
  • can correspond with mailing lists, such as easy communication with
    submitters, and more
  • can manage tickets (or issues)
  • can stock information (e.g. as Wiki pages)
  • has good spam tolerance
  • can be fully customized

Some suggested RedMine, Retrospectiva and Lighthouse. I am no yet
sure whether any of them satisfies the requirements. Any opinion or
info welcome.

          matz.

OK, so you definitely want Trac, except in Ruby. :wink:

My needs are more basic. I don’t have to hook into a Subversion
repository and I really only need good ticket support. I do want to
be able to administer my solution from my email though.

I understand why the above makes sense for you needs though.

I wasn’t aware of RedMine, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It does seem to satisfy most of your criteria. I think you would be
the one hooking it into mailing lists and customization seems to just
be writing Rails plugins, but it’s still sounds pretty close to what
you want.

Retrospectiva didn’t feel as far along to me. It has something called
a “mail queue,” but I had trouble finding any information on what that
actually is. It does seem to be an active project though and it meets
many of your requirements.

I’ve looked at Lighthouse quite a bit. It’s a nice option and you
should at least watch the videos on their site. In the end, I decided
against it because, while it is somewhat customizable, I didn’t feel
like I would be able to rewrite any part of it I wasn’t completely
satisfied with.

Those are my takes on the options you mentioned. Thanks for laying
out what you are after and I’m sorry I wasn’t more help in getting you
there.
