Moving from trac to redmine and other upcoming plans

Once again, we’re late on our planned schedule since Typo 5.0.4 should have been released 5 days ago. Piers and I have been pretty busy lately, and I’m now waiting for some external material in order to release a 5.0.4b1.

Since I was moving Typosphere to a new server, a nice 2.33ghz dual core with 4gb RAM running an Apache and mod_rails on FreeBSD, I also wanted to stop using trac as a bug tracker. In spite of being used by many open source projects around, trac is just a bloatware. I was really fed up with cleaning the session table twice a month just to avoid having it consuming 99% of my server resources. There was another reason why I wanted to ditch Trac: it’s Python, and Redmine is Ruby. As far as I know, every URL but the RSS has been redirected properly.

Typogarden is going to change too and become a theme repository based on a Typo install. I will certainly call for gardeners someday to maintain the thing once I’ve installed the new Typogarden in its new home.

More to come soon, stay tuned.

    Fantastic. Trac makes my head explode, as an occasional user. I haven’t used Redmine yet, but it’s got to be better!

    I really like Redmine, I find it much easier to fully use and understand.

    Now we use lighthouse and github. Not anymore Redmine.
