#cacae5	386	new	active	2005 Mar	anonymous	2005 Mar	drh	5	4	"Show Milestones" does not show milestones generated by cvs rtag	When browsing the source code of a project and clicking "Show Milestones" only milestones that were created with cvstrac show up. Milestones generated by "cvs rtag" do not.  Additionally, when viewing the timeline with "Divide timeline by milestones" checked, again, only milestones entered manually into cvstrac show up in the pink boxes. It would be nice if the default behavior when "Divide timeline by milestones" is checked was to list the "cvs rtag" generated milestones without ever having to manually add a "Release" milestone in cvstrac.
#cacae5	674	code	active	2006 Dec	anonymous	2017 Mar	cpb	4	4	64 bit issues	Hi guys,  Thank you for this great software. I've installed it on a Debian/Etch system with sucess.  It's working nearly fine in CGI mode with suExec module enabled.  It seems that it is not possible to edit the tickets. I've tried with different users with full rights. When trying to edit the tickets, I get  a server error with the following error logs in /var/log/apache2/error.log :  index.cgi: line 2: 18143 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/cvstrac cgi /var/www/cvstrac server{linebreak} [Tue Dec 05 17:02:14 2006] [error] [client 130.104.38.125] Premature end of script headers: index.cgi, referer: https://www.pameseb.be/cvstrac/index.cgi/rptview?rn=1{linebreak}  I've tried to use the cvstrack server directly to see if it was CGI related. The result is not better. When in server mode and trying to edit a ticket, I receive an empty page ...  Any help would be greatly appreciated because at the moment, the system is not functionnal.  I can provide much more details if needed. I can provide a web access to the installation if needed.  Thanks in advance,  Didrik

#cfe8bd	503	doc	active	2005 Nov	anonymous	2005 Nov	drh	3	3	A Better "FormattingWikiPages" + 2 wiki bugs	I have identified two outright bugs in cvstrac's wiki (probably already documented somewhere else; if not, someone on the cvstrac team should probably ticketize them and assign them to the right people): 1: If the entire link: statement will not fit on one line inside the wiki text editing box, the link command is ignored. 2: * followed by _ then some text then _ followed by * (and vice-versa) to make text both bold and italic don't work, despite everything else being nestable (e.g. *'s around a "quote:" block); the more interior of the two markups is simply interpreted as part of the "word" the exterior markup is affecting.  A third issue (a misfeature) is that use of html and /html to insert arbitrary HTML code introduces a bogus, worse-than-useless linebreak, which makes the html wikicommand only usuable on large blocks of stuff, instead of inline in the middle of a sentence of whatever.  That said, I was in the process of modifying my local copy of FormattingWikiPages to deal with problem no. 1 above, and just decided to overhaul the entire thing, as a way of giving back.  There were several details in the editing hints at the bottom of the page when editing any wiki page, that were not in the FormattingWikiPages documents, at least one typo, inconsistent use of bold to highlight wiki markup commands, unclear phrasing in several places, and a number of other issues.  So, here is my take on it, use any of it that you like.  I did implement big "WARNING:" bits about bugs and other problems, that of course should come out of this version of the wikitext if you want to use it, and the issues get resolved by then.  ;-)  PS: If posting the wikitext into this ticket mangles it in some way, drop me a line and I'll e-mail you a copy.  The preview I just did seems to indicate that cvstrack will render all the wiki commands even inside a ticket, so you can't see the wikisource.  I should probably e-mail it.  *****************************************************************************************  **Paragraphs**  Use *one or more blank lines* to separate paragraphs.  You can arbitrarily wrap text within a paragraph (or not bother to wrap it at all), _except_  that {quote:{link:}} commands cannot line wrap; see below for more details.  **Indentation of Code**  If the first line of a paragraph begins with a *tab* or with *two or more spaces*, then that whole paragraph is shown verbatim (that is, within <pre>...</pre> markup in HTML, including the constant-width font with all spacing and line breaks preserved)  The formatting rules below _do not apply_ to verbatim paragraphs (other than {quote:<html>}, as explained next).  See "Lists", below, for how to indent without <pre> behavior.  **HTML**  You can insert arbitrary HTML into a wiki page, by surrounding the code to be inserted with  *{quote:"<html>"}* and *{quote:"</html>"}*.  <html><b><i>Warning:</i></b></html> Because text between {quote:"<html>" and "</html>"} is  interpreted as HTML, _even inside verbatim paragraphs_, if you need to use the string "{quote:<}html>" in sample code, you must wiki it as "{quote:{quote:<html>}}", or your  sample code will be parsed and rendered instead of displayed as written.  This does not affect </html>, nor other HTML or XML markup, just "{quote:<html>}".  **Boldface and Italics**  Text contained between asterisks is rendered *bold.* If you use two or three asterisks in a row, instead of just one, the bold text is also shown at a larger point size. Text between underscores is rendered as an _italics._ All font style markers must start at the beginning of a word (a contiguous text string) and must finish at the end of a word within the same paragraph.  You cannot use both at once.  However, you can acheive the desired effect like so:{linebreak} {quote:<html><b><i>Italicized bold text</i></b></html>}{linebreak} but at the cost of a linebreak inserted before the text marked up this way.  **Lists**  If a line begins with the characters "*{quote:*:}*" followed by a space or tab, then that line becomes an item in a bullet list.  Similarly, if the line begins with "*N:*" (where N is any number including a multi-digit number, or 0) then the line becomes an item in an enumeration list. Enumeration items are automatically renumbered so the values of N do not need to be in ascending order.  Lines that begin with "*{quote:_:}*" are indented like a bullet list but do not display the bullet.  You can use this to indent without getting monospaced fonts and other behaviors of <pre>.  Make nested lists by adding colons.  For example, to make a second level bullet, begin the line with "*{quote:*::}*".  **Hyperlinks**  Links to other pages are created automatically whenever the *name of another wiki page* is mentioned in the text.  (See WikiPageNames.) If you want to put a CamelCase word in your text but you do not want it to become a hyperlink, enclose the name in "{quote: {quote: ...}}".   This auto-linking does not happen inside indented verbatim paragraphs.  Full *URLs* in the text, such as links to external sites, also automatically become links, but see below for special handling of image links.  Such auto-links are created for any URL beginning with "http:", "https:", "ftp:", or "mailto:", without having to use the {quote:{link:}} functionality documented below.   *Note:* If the URL ends with ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", or ".png" then the image that the URL points to is displayed inline on the wiki page.  You can also create an inline image using markup like this: "{quote: {image: URL}}". Using the {quote: {image:...}} markup allows the image URL to be relative.  This allows an image stored in an attachment to be displayed inline.  Text of the form "*#NNN*" where the "NNN" is a valid ticket number becomes a hyperlink to the ticket.  Text of the form "*[NNN]*" where "NNN" is a valid check-in or milestone number becomes a hyperlink to that check-in or milestone.  These hyperlinks only work if the user has permission to read tickets, check-ins, and/or milestones.  To create a hyperlink on arbitrary text, use "*{quote: {link: ...}}*" markup.  Any text of the form:  "{quote: {link: URL PHRASE}}" displays PHRASE as hyperlink to URL.  Example:{linebreak} {quote: {link: http://www.google.com Google}} = {link: http://www.google.com Google}{linebreak} The URL can be an absolute URL beginning with a prefix like "http:", or it can be a relative URL referring to another page within the same CVSTrac server.  For example, to create a link to a ticket report, one might write: "{quote: {link: rptview?rn=1 Active Tickets}}".  <html><b><i>Warning:</i></b></html> The {quote:{link:}} mechanism cannot handle long links. If the entire {quote:{link:}} command will not fit onto one line in the wiki editing text box, the link will get mangled. If this happens, use http://tinyurl.com to create a shorter, redirect URL.  **Horizontal Lines**  A horizontal line (the <hr> markup of HTML) is generated whenever four or more "-" or "=" characters appear on a line by themselves:{linebreak} *{quote: ----}*  **Other Markup Rules**  The special markup "*{quote: {linebreak}}*" will be rendered as a line break or hard return.  The content of "*{quote: {quote: ...}}*" markup is shown verbatim, including wiki commands, e.g.:{linebreak} {quote: {quote: {quote: ...}}}  ----
#cacae5	175	new	new	2003 Feb	anonymous	2003 Feb	drh	3	4	A second CVSTrac logs out the first one.	I use CVSTrac for two projects.  I usually have two browser tabs  open, each showing the CVSTrac timeline for one of the projects.    After I've logged in for the second CVSTrac, the a refresh on the  first one goes to the login page.  Logging in again for the first one  causes the second one to be logged out.    It would be nice if I could be logged in on both projects  simultaneously (some cookie manipulation required?).

It will help if the "enum" table will be extended to allow the assignment of labels to those levels. There is no need to change the actual coding - the 1-5 level are more than enough.  The enums should be edited by the 'setup' user, and should be used for ticket entry and editing.

#c8c8c8	302	new	active	2004 Mar	anonymous	2004 Mar	drh	5	5	Allow queries to be embedded in other pages.	It would be very useful to be able to add a tag to reports to include them in other pages.  A combo box on the reports page could list destinations where the report could be embedded (ie: ticket page, milestone page, ticket edit page, home page, etc).  By enabling select entries the user could embed the report in different pages.  This could be used to provide a very simple mechanism to track dependancies.  I have a report that lists all tickets that depend on a specified ticket (see attachment).  By embedding this query in the ticket overview page I could follow a link to any dependent tickets.  A similar report on the milestones page would allow all tickets that depend on a milestone to be listed.  It might be useful to embed the "Ticket Counts" report on the main page. etc.  One issue I don't know how to resolve would be passing the page identifier to the query.  Each embedding location could define a key (or keys) it would make available to the query, but I don't know how it would be incorporated into the query.  I assume something similar to the aux() mechanism that is currently used would work (I'm not much of an SQL guy).  So a report embedded in the ticket page would have the ticket id supplied, and a report embedded in the timeline page would have the commit id supplied.

CVSTrac does not appear to provide for a way to generate such headings.  The most common WIKI syntax for headings I can find is that any paragraph which ends and starts with equal signs.  Examples:    = Hello =     (will create <h1>Hello</h1>)    == World =    (will create <h2>Hello</h2>)    == World ===  (same as above)

I'm wondering if you could have the CamelCase link directly to the source file; right now I usually click the link, and then edit the page to have a link to the relevant source file, but I like to use  the "Contents" page to surf around, and I dont like having clutter in there.

For the first row, =new    review,ignore=, it means the user can only set _new_ ticket to _review_ or _ignore_, the user can not directly fix the ticket without review.

I'm not sure whether it would be better to change the parser to treat java.lang.String (and perl::CPAN, and the python version, etc.) as equivalent to JavaLangString, or to just add a suffix to the class names, like StringDoc; obviously the first would allow the javadocs themselves to be parsable as a wiki.    The first is unappealing because of its language-specificness and so on, but of course its more "handy" for the users.    The second could be done in anyway -- all you really need is a tool that allows you to add an arbitrary file as an arbitrary wiki page, and let the user write his own script to put which file where.

I think a few changes might be useful:  First, the existing inspection is a text "result" field. To make that more useful, it might be nice to make it available as a drop-down list of options similar to how the "extra" ticket fields work. That is, could be free form, could be a strict list of "pass", "fail", "tested", "rejected", etc.  Second, a wiki comment field is needed for inspections. For backwards compatibility, this should be separate from the "result" field.  Those are the two main things. There might be more as I think of them.

#cacae5	158	new	active	2002 Dec	anonymous	2002 Dec	drh	4	4	Make ticket page a Wiki page with generalised meta-formatting	If the Wiki supported keywords like {SQL: command }, then it would be possible to create Wiki pages that interface with the database. In this scheme, a ticket page might be written in the Wiki like (I don't know any SQL yet):      Ticket {SQL: ITEM.number }: ticket dependencies and estimated duration      {SQL: ITEM.description }    Remarks:      {SQL: ITEM.remarks }    And editing the page will bring up edit blocks which feed the data back into the database, like the Create New Ticket page.    The same idea could apply to reports, so the generated report page could also have an "edit" tag, which brings up the same information in edit blocks for editing the database contents.    This would let me perform tasks like create a report for all entries older than 4 weeks along with their priority levels, click [Edit] and directly modify all their priority levels.    This would mean that Ticket pages are just Wiki pages with meta structural information, and all Wiki pages can extract and modify SQL database information. This scheme also handles the scenario in the TODO item:      *  Text above ==== may only be editted by the document owner

#c8c8c8	303	new	active	2004 Mar	anonymous	2004 Mar	drh	4	5	Milestone and ticket hotlists.	Referencing tickets by id can be cumbersome when composing a new ticket.  Typically it requires a separate browser tab to search the database.  Since some tickets and milestones are referenced more than others it would make sense to make their ids and summaries available when composing a new ticket.  If a new column were added to the milestones and tickets tables called hot, by checkmarking the hot column on the edit page for the ticket they could be added to a 'hotlist'.  Whenever a field was presented that accepted a list of dependancies (such as the depends on field and the associated check-ins field on the edit ticket page a combo box next to the field could list all 'hotlist' ticket numbers and check-ins.  When the page was submitted the entries in the combo box would be merged with the input in the text field.  I think this would be particularly useful when designing with milestones, since all milestone check-ins could be marked "hot" and then when reviewing tickets I could target them for a particular release by selecting the version number from the list.  Combined with suggestion #302 this would make using the timeline and milestones to plan the future direction of the project much more effective.

Often from the description you could figure out if this is for this release or the next release and also set the appropriate pulldown.

#c8c8c8	304	new	active	2004 Mar	anonymous	2004 Mar	drh	5	5	Option to pipe reports through an external filter.	Currently reports can be displayed formatted into a table or as raw data.  A third option to provide an external filter script (much like the external diff programs currently supported) to filter the report would offer several new configuration possibilities to the user.  The raw data would be piped through the filter and the result returned.  Two columns added to the reports table would control this.  The first would contain the script command to run.  The second would contain the mime type of the returned data.  When embedding the result in a page the tag would be based on the mime type of the result.  If it were of type text/html (or blank) it would be embedded directly in the page.  If it were of type image/* it would be embeded by an image link, if it were type text/plain or ?? it would be referenced by an a anchor link.  This would allow a lot of additional functionality.  For instance a report that extracted ticket dependancies could be piped into a perl script that generated a dot file which in turn would be piped into dot to generate a dependancy graph.  I think it would also have been possible to implement the rss feed this way.  Other feeds for other systems could be generated in a similar way.  Even the current report tables could be implemented as a perl script (this wouldn't make much sense however since it would then be impossible to install cvstrac as a single file).  One security issue is that allowing users to configure an arbitrary filter to run on the server is not very safe :-).  Such functionality would have to be limited to the server admin.

The encode64 step is a custom base64 encoding, and "..." means that all fields of the ticket must be sent for the edit to be accepted.  (Yes, the encode64 could be avoided by scraping tktedit?tn=#)  Two code changes could make (2) as simple as it appears above. First, encode64's zBase could be changed to the more common A-Za-z0-9+/, effectively turning encode64 into base64 (provided by encoders such as openssl base64). Second, ticket_edit can cnt++ when aParm[i].zNew==0, thus allowing for a partial post of ticket fields.  Are there problems with the approach in (2)?  How important is the cnt input validation in ticket_edit?  Is a zBase of 0-9a-z_A-Z~ just for obfuscation?
#cacae5	791	new	active	2009 Mar	anonymous	2009 Mar	cpb	5	4	RSS view of individual ticket history	In Firefox, in the location bar, the RSS icon tooltip reads: "Subscribe to *this page*..." Not only did I mistakenly "subscribe" to my timeline a couple of times before I realized it wasn't the ticket history feed, but thinking back about that mishap it seems to me that an RSS version of tkthistory could be relatively easy to implement.  As for linking, unless someone has a better suggestion, I'd be enclined to have cvstrac provide the RSS feed URL in a value expanded in the header instead of leaving it in plain text as it currently is. The advantage would be that on ticket pages (tktview, tkthistory at least) instead of linking to the timeline RSS URL, it would provide the ticket-specific history RSS URL.  About making an RSS version of tkthistory, I think I might be able to do it. For actually making the URL available in the header properly, I'm not so sure.  (I was about to implement it as an external tool in PHP, when I realized it would fit well within your core features. Needless to say it would also make following up on tickets we created at cvstrac.org much easier, though for that, a filtered version of the timeline would probably be even more efficient.)

This is especially true in report tables, where there is no way to customize the rows themselves.    My proposal is to make CVStrac layout and coloring fully CSS-based. In this fashion, a report table would have the following tagging:    <table class="reportTable" ...>  <tr class="reportHeader"><td class="reportHeader ticketNumber">...  <tr class="reportRow activeTicket">...<td class="activeTicket ticketSubsys">    ...etc. Note the use of multiple classes to enable full customization.    You can, for instance, say:    .reportTable { font-size: 8pt; }  .reportHeader { font-weight: bold; text-align: center; }  .reportRow { padding: 2px; }  .ticketNumber { font-face: Courier; }  .ticketSubsys { font-style: italic; }  .activeTicket { background-color: orange; }    This would make the entire table 8pt size, the report headers bold and centered, give each report row extra padding, and give distinct coloring and fonts to both active ticket rows and specific columns.    I might find the time to make a patch, but I'd like to have some feedback first as to whether this would be incorporated.

Otherwise, the only way to find out if a branch is a branch is when someone commits on the branch. This may never happen.

The way how it is implemented (and the simplicity of this has my admiration) applies the sorting to the formatted columns.    rptview?rn=1&order_by=5&order_dir=ASC  If you have more recent dates including changes of today you might have after the sort by the sdate() column:  | 13:07 | A Ticket of today | | 2007 Nov | Ticket from 2 years back | | 2007 Oct | another Ticket | | Nov 05 | From this month | | Jun 18 | 4 months back |  Check the report 9 to see this at work.  At the moment I would need to guess if a report might use with "sorted by date columns", avoid sdate() for this report and use instead a "sortable" date like ISO date. But "sortable" has always the drawback to be longer, because the year must be always included.  Would it be possible to use a derived sdate() function that includes a hidden sort part, something like:    <span class="invisible">2009-11-12 13:07:23</span> 13:07  But that wouldn't be nice for older browsers that are not able to hide content.  The other approach would be to change the generic way how the hyperlinks for the column headers are build. In that case the procedure that generates the header row needs to have some knowledge on the type of the selected columns. Seems to be complicated.
#cacae5	479	new	active	2005 Sep	anonymous	2005 Sep	drh	4	4	Source code files should have remarks/attachments	Source code should allow for remarks and attachments to be associated with a particular file.  While this sort of thing could be put into the code itself, it generally is not, since it may bother the writer.  And even if it were, only programmers would be able to do so.  In general, there are 5 types of things in cvstrac: tickets, remarks, attachments, source code files, and wiki pages.  Tickets seem to be first-class objects (#123 anywhere refers to a ticket), and Wiki pages seem to be becoming that as well.  Remarks and atachments are associated only with a particular ticket or wiki page.  But source code seems completely unrelated to these.  Does the viewer highlight Ticket references or WikiNames in the code?  It probably should not because it may make a mistake.  At the same time, associating external documentation with a source file seems valuable.  (One could conceive of this becoming a full-featured Literate Programming methodology).  I would think that the implementation of this would be to have options on the rlog view such as: the number of attachments, number of remarks, number of tickets against a particular file, a link to the annotate/blame view (Ticket #183),
#f2dcdc	369	doc	active	2005 Jan	anonymous	2005 Jan	drh	1	1	Studying the source code	Could anybody give me some background on the design philosophy behind cvstrac?  I like the software, and I like the idea of writing native CGI applications. So, I started digging in the cvstrac sources to get inspiration.  I understand individual lines, but I fail to understand the big picture.  What is the guiding principle behind the subdivision in separate files.  Usually, you find simple guiding principles, such as: one source file corresponds to one web page (typical in php, asp, asp.net, ...) or corresponds to one abstract data type (such as one table and its related methods, or one memory struct and its related methods, ...), or is otherwise organised around another particular guiding principle, which tremendously facilitates locating particular logic. It turns a source tree into an addressable grid, where you can almost calculate where some logic must be located, and where you can make changes, if needed.  What is the guiding principle underlying cvstrac?

For the time being it would suffice to let the group structure to be only one level deep. Example:  <html> <ul>   <li><b>Development</b></li>   <ol>     <li><a href="rptview?rn=14">Active tickets by priority</a></li>     <li>...</li>   </ol>   <li><b>Quality assurance</b></li>   <ol>     <li><a href="rptview?rn=63">Showstoppers</a></li>     <li><a href="rptview?rn=7">Ticket counts by status</a></li>     <li>...</li>   </ol>   <li><b>Misc.</b></li>   <ol>     <li><a href="rptview?rn=70">Wiki Search</a></li>     <li>...</li>   </ol> </ul> </html>  One-level grouping could be done by one new field named 'group' in REPORTFMT, which could be edited on the rptnew and rptedit page by two input fields: "Assign to report group" (drop list showing previously defined groups) and "Assign to new report group" (free edit field).  For report ordering I don't have a simple suggestion other than providing a new field named 'ordinal', which the user can edit freely.

The Timeline feature is interesting, but rendered only half-useful, because it defaults to "today and backward", no matter what the user wants.  Entering a future date (e.g. 2020-Jan-01) so that all milestone dates are visible (highly desirable behavior on my entire development team) and clicking "Make Default" does not save the preferred date.  I understand that "Make Default" could end up saving today's date and making the feature of dubious use for those who (if there are any) don't want to see future dates in the timeline, so I would propose a checkbox next to "Make Default" that says "include date in saved default", checked "off" by default.  I think this single change would improve CVSTrac's overall usefulness by about 20%.  Seriously.

This destroys the compact and brief layout of the timeline page IMHO.  Because it is fully valid to use full-page commit log messages  on check-in, I think CVStrac should trim commit log messages to a reasonbale size for the timeline page. "Reasonable" perhaps  means to first cut off everything after the first "\n\n" (empty line)  to get just the first paragraph and if this paragraph is still  longer than approx. 200 bytes I would trim it to the first 200 bytes.  Finally after the trimming a " [...]" should be appended to clearly  show that the message was trimmed.

I FREQUENTLY run into situations where I'm editing a wiki entry, but while I'm doing so, my login cookie expires, and I get prompted for a new login.  *poof* all my editing is lost.  Unlike twiki (which I once used), you can't "go back" to a page you were editing, because those pages are created by "POST" requests, and are therefore not cached (I surmise).  You also can't "checkpoint" pages as you're editing.  Is there any way to have the tool either (a) capture the data provisionally when a timeout is detected, or (b) not use POST to edit pages, so that I can at least go "back" in the browser to cut my edits and paste them into a new session.  In a related problem, I sometimes run across the magic key sequence that closes tabs, and, again, all my updates are lost in a flash, since I can't "go back" and get to my edits again.

For example, you could set up Abyss to use svntrac.exe as a script interpreter with args "cgi <dir> %1" where <dir> is a pathname, and the %1 is filled in with the path to the cgi script. The name of the script is the name of   the project -- the script file can be empty since svntrac doesn't open   it; it can even be the database file. But svntrac doesn't strip the   directories from the pathname so supplied as it normally does with the project name obtained form the URL or HTTP_POST. So, I added this feature in main:      if( argc>=4 ){       /* The project name is specified on the command-line */   #ifdef CVSTRAC_WINDOWS       /* e hack for Windows CGI */       i = strlen(argv[3]);       while( i>0 && argv[3][i-1]!='\\' ){ i--; }       g.zName = mprintf("%s", &argv[3][i]);   #else       g.zName = argv[3];   #endif       cmdlineProj = 1;  where the new stuff is in the {quote: #ifdef CVSTRAC_WINDOWS} section, but other than the path separator, is not really Windows specific.

#cfe8bd	673	new	active	2006 Nov	anonymous	2006 Nov	cpb	3	3	custom block wiki markups should have additional substitutions	I am trying to write a custom block markup that would allow inserting inline graphs produced by graphviz, similar to the excellent {link: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/DirectedGraphPlugin dot plugin for Twiki}.  The way it would work is the external program would take %b, unescape it and run dot/neato/circo on it (depending on =%m=), attach the resulting PNG to the wiki entry (by accessing the CVStrac table directly) and output an =<img>= tag linking to it. The program would use a MD5 checksum to avoid rerunning graphviz if it had already been run on the exact same text (the attachment would be in effect a cache).  To do this, the program needs: *: the name of the SQLite database (=%B= ?) (although that could be hardcoded in the custom markup declaration) *: the name of the wiki entry or ticket (e.g. =%W=) so it knows which entry to attach it to. *: optionally a list of attachments to the wiki page (=%A= ?)  These two substitutions would make truly powerful block markups easier. In the meantime, I will leverage the fact SQLite does not enforce referential integrity to attach the generated PNG nowhere.
#e8e8bd	187	new	active	2003 Mar	anonymous	2008 Jan	drh	4	2	cvs import/commit "Browse Repository" annoyance	I've created some new repositories to manage our projects and i first realized why the files aren't listed in the "browse repository" section. This seems to be described also in #88 and #113.     I ever use cvs import to checkin new source trees. That's why cvstrac didn't update the tables (if this is right).    The problem is, using "cvs add" takes time, can only be used with a "find . -print -exec cvs add {} \;" to automate many file checkins, and "cvs add" is even not mentioned to use for cvs with initial checkins of complete source trees.     There are two ideas how to "fix" this problem  1. Name the "Browse - Browse the CVS repository tree." menu as "Browse - Browse changed files in the repository tree.", but this is not the way i want to work with cvstrac    *2.* Find a way to "reconstruct" the filechng (and other influenced tables) as setup-menu or as "realtime-sync-filetree-on-browse" which seems to be useful...    Is there another way to fix this?  cvs rtag tagname modname doesn't work, did i used the rtag command wrong ?`    Bye, Bjoern

This makes a CVSTrac install a bit more complicated to manage. It would be nice if, instead of calling external programs, we could just invoke subroutines in an embedded scripting language.  I.e. rather than "program %S1 %S2 %S3", we'd call a subroutine with the list of substitutions as parameters:    sub program {     my %parms = @_;     print $parms{S1};   }  Example is in perl, but any embeddable language with associated arrays (Tcl, Python, Ruby?) would work. It would be necessary to make CVSTrac support more than one language, obviously, because there's no chance that we'd ever get concensus on a single language.  Handling of script output is a bit more complicated. Would probably require exporting =cgi_printf()= and/or =cgi_append_content()= or something...
#cfe8bd	818	new	active	2010 Jul	anonymous	2010 Aug	cpb	5	3	feature request: user interface improvements	This is a feature request for user interface improvements.  On the ticket lists, there is an edit button at the end. In order to action a ticket, we have to click edit, then perform an action.  It would be better to go straight into an action here, providing a window that allows us to add a comment and change the ticket status.  This would make the ticketing system easier to use because it is more likely that a user want to action against a ticket, than edit it.  If the user wants to view or edit a ticket, he can simply click on the ticket number and then press edit (which he can do already).  The action button would basically be the same as the "append remarks" facility that we have now, but the "append remarks" facility would have the additional option to change the ticket status at the same time. (This would be a useful change anyway), because in closing a ticket, typically we want to add a comment.  Currently to close a ticket, we add remarks, then edit the ticket, again to change the status.  With this proposed revision, we could add remarks and change ticket statuses easily and quickly.

Of course, line numbers are easy while function references are language specific. But line numbers break with revision changes.  Still, worth thinking about.

This is not equivalent to reading of CVSROOT/passwd since some installations of _Subversion_ don't use _svnserve_ and hence don't have relevant users file. This is not the best solution, but ATM I have no plans to add support for importing users from _{quote: mod_dav_svn}_ .  _svntrac_ supports only import of users, and unlike _cvstrac_ , it can't update _svnserve_ users file based on the contents of _svntrac_ db. This limitation is imposed by the fact that passwords are stored encrypted in _svntrac_ db, while they are stored as plain text in _svnserve_ users file. Only way, AFAICT, to support it would be to store plain text passwords in db, but I guess this goes against _cvstrac_ design goals?{linebreak} Though it would be nice to have this "user export" feature since AFAIK there is no way to manage _svnserve_ users other then to edit users file directly.

The user is free to delete the text, but they have to "want to".  Why not just be able to add default text for any field just like the ones that are setup-able.  This saves time in a process by having fewer tickets get rejected or handed back to the submitter for revision or clarification.  Another nicety would be to set "required text" just like cvs checkins can have.  Then the submitter would immediately know they didn't do enough boiler-plate stuff . . . or that it was impermissible to delete the template.

This is a fairly common configuration, specially when you are trying to make cvstrac appear as a logical part of a larger site. When serving up a RSS feed, however, cvstrac embeds absolute URLs to the proxied server's URL rather than the user-visible one.  The following patch fixes this in my environment (we use Dan Bernstein's {link: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html UCSPI-TCP} rather than inetd to manage connections). It does make the assumption that mod_proxy's =X-Forwarded-Host:= header (the one sent by the browser) will come after the =Host:= header generated by mod_proxy. It is quite likely cvstrac configured to use CGI will need equivalent patching elsewhere to get the same information from an environment variable.  <html><pre> *** cgi.c~      Fri May 26 07:20:28 2006 --- cgi.c       Wed May 31 16:09:36 2006 *************** *** 2507,2512 **** --- 2507,2514 ----         putenv(mprintf("HTTP_REFERER=%s", zVal));       }else if( strcmp(zFieldName,"host:")==0 ){         putenv(mprintf("HTTP_HOST=%s", zVal)); +     }else if( strcmp(zFieldName,"x-forwarded-host:")==0 ){ +       putenv(mprintf("HTTP_HOST=%s", zVal));       }else if( strcmp(zFieldName,"content-type:")==0 ){         putenv(mprintf("CONTENT_TYPE=%s", zVal));       }else if( strcmp(zFieldName,"cookie:")==0 ){ </pre></html>

Presently, deleting an attachment is _hard_. [594] expanded the rules a bit to mostly prevent abuse and allow users to fix their screw ups.  Philosophically, I think there's a strong argument that if an attachment is worth adding to a CVSTrac artifact, it's worth keeping similar to a SCM artifact. That is, deletion _should_ be hard, but there should be some concept of revisioning.  Because attachments are artifacts outside the SCM, we'd want to be flexible in terms of naming. Filename-based versions would obviously be common.  I'm thinking of a dialog selector of "previous" attachments which can be selected to indicate that a new upload supersedes an existing attachment. That can be easily handled by a new "prevatn" field in the database schema.

Many cvs clients assume that viewcvs or cvsweb is available and send GET-style urls to the appropriate web browser. To lessen the need to install viewcvs/cvsweb, an even larger subset of their REST architecture could be implemented.  Cvstrac already does much of what cvsweb_etc does:  *: directory browsing -  cvstrac uses /dir?d=/path . To emulate cvsweb_etc we could use /viewcvs/path *: file download- cvstrac uses /rlog?f=/path.... cvsweb_etc emulation could be /viewcvs/path also. *: file download and versions - cvstrac uses /getfile... cvsweb_etc have either "checkout"/path?rev=.. or ~checkout~/path?rev=.. *: diff-cvstrac uses /filediff?.. cvsweb does /path.diff?r1=..., viewcvs does /path?r1=...   Implementation could be simple redirects from a new function hanging off /viewcvs. /path maps to g.zExtra (as in getfile); deciding which to redirect would be based on an examination of /path and a few looks at parameters P(r1), etc.  I will look into this.  --Derek
