Going to mine 14

Posted by icy Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:55:00 GMT

Ladies and Gentlemen, Spambots and Jackalopes, may we have your valuable attention please.

As you may have noticed, our trac was painfully slow most of the time and we missed some features that we would like to have. So we looked for alternatives and found Redmine

It took some effort to migrate everything from trac to it but now most of it is done. Some wiki pages couldn’t be converted 1:1, so we ask you to fix the formatting issues if you come across any and know how to do so.

Redmine also allows us to get rid of the old forums that had serious spam problems in the past.

trac.lighttpd.net will be read-only from now on and forum.lighttpd.net will probably be gone for good or read-only too.


So, without further ado, we want to unveil our new project haven.


Hope you like it and thanks for using lighty.

    thanks for the tip. i've never heard of redmine, but it looks promising. trac can be sometimes a pain.

    Keep the forums up and read only would be ideal as there are a few snippets of good info on there, I can donate an hour or so to clean them up if you want/need Cheers Ste

    So using Redmine has some type of correlation to the Lighttpd developers actually fixing the problems in the web server. ... and I thought Redmine was just a VCS :(

    ste: we will probably keep trac and the forum read only

    Tim: could you rephrase that? I don't understand what you wanted to say. What correlation? Redmine is not a VCS.

    Thanks for the project! It was very useful for me

    Just a minor note for anyone who finds this later on; if you are having issues optimizing Trac for high-throughput deployments, please be sure to ask in the IRC channel. There are a number of us that can help improve things considerably (most of the time anyway). Just trying to avoid excess FUD.

    We certainly don't want to spread FUD. Trac is a worthy project and a lot of people using it have proven that. Sure we could have optimized trac but as mentioned in the post, there were more reasons for the switch. Like built-in forums, multiple projects with ease and support for various vcs without using third-party plugins.

    We are neither saying redmine is any better than trac nor vice versa.
    Everyone has to decide on their own what to chose.

    I am curious about content-range support with x-lighttpd-send-file as well... did this get released? (http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/865)
  10. JamesD Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:14:27 GMT
    There was no note about the 1.4 branch and no replies to previous inquiries.

    Is the provided url wrong or isn't the thing working right now? This one: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/show/lighttpd

    Redmine is way, way, way better than Trac. That's a great move.

    Hi, Where's the spec file in the tar.gz to compile it to RPM? It used to be there, I loved it.
