Maintainer but not committer with update: Submitted a Trac ticket, now I just wait?
I am the maintainer of 'lang/slime' for which I have submitted a ticket to Trac [1], attaching it to the Milestone "Port Updates". Now I just wait for a committer to notice this, or should I bring it to some email address's attention? The Wiki has the start [2] of guide to these questions, but no answers, for which it would be good to fill in even provisional answers to the procedure. 1: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11902 2: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/MaintainingAPort
ive been wondering the same thing ... sometimes they snatched up right away, others might sit indefinitely, as these two appear to have been doing for the last month: php5-memcache (http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11753) php5-syck (http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11754) -emory On May 4, 2007, at 10:33 AM, Mark Evenson wrote:

ive been wondering the same thing ... sometimes they snatched up right away, others might sit indefinitely, as these two appear to have been doing for the last month:
php5-memcache (http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/ 11753)
php5-syck (http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11754)
Back in the day, there was a committer or two assigned to each port category. Submitters were instructed to change the owner of a bug to the category committer. Portmgr, is that policy still in effect? If so, where is the up-to- date list of category owners? Thanks, matt -- Matt Meissner meissnem at gmail.com
Hi there,
I am the maintainer of 'lang/slime' for which I have submitted a ticket to Trac [1], attaching it to the Milestone "Port Updates".
Now I just wait for a committer to notice this, or should I bring it to some email address's attention? The Wiki has the start [2] of guide to these questions, but no answers, for which it would be good to fill in even provisional answers to the procedure.

The problem is that, at the moment, Trac does not automatically send a notification email to the assignee of a ticket, so you need to put the assignee's email address into the Cc: field. I don't know whether or not anyone is trying to fix this problem, but it is documented [1]. I agree, however that it should at least be linked to from [2]; I'll try to do that in the next day or so. There is also a macports-tickets@ mailing list that ostensibly has mail posted to it by Trac whenever a ticket is opened, but I've never received anything from it; does anyone know why this feature isn't working either?

The policy in [1] suggests to me that the current policy is just to assign bugs to macports-dev@ when there is no other obvious assignee. I'm not aware of the old policy that you describe (I've been a user since DarwinPorts ran on 10.2, but I've only been contributing for a few months now), so my guess is that it has lapsed due to churn of contributors or similar. I certainly think that the old policy has merit, but it seems to me that MacPorts needs a little more organisational structure among its current contributors before we can return to it.

It's likely that the fix is to add always_notify_owner = true to the [notification] section of the trac.ini file. There may be some other reason why this isn't set, though.

I think I briefly saw tickets being sent to the list, but I haven't seen them in a while. That would correspond to either the smtp_alwyas_bcc or smtp_always_cc settings. Again, I don't know why it's not currently enabled. -- Daniel J.
