What concerns me is the statement that in this migration to github, github and trac are kept completely separate, with no automatic linkage, but still contributors are expected to use both. I predict this is in the long run doomed to failure, as people will in the end submit github pull requests but forget about trac...<div><br></div><div>Chris</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates</div><div><a href="mailto:allbery.b@gmail.com" target="_blank">allbery.b@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:ballbery@sinenomine.net" target="_blank">ballbery@sinenomine.net</a></div><div>unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad <a href="http://sinenomine.net" target="_blank">http://sinenomine.net</a></div></div></div>
