JiraTracker

This wiki is in the process of being archived due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies. Edits are discouraged.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

Some experiences with Jira:

  • SF conversions seems to work fine.
  • needs login for every user, even for read.
    • This is just a configuration issue. The Apache JIRA has public read enabled.

  • can do convenient mass edits, for example, I could assign all issues currently assigned to "loewis" to "mloewis".

Questions

Bignose:

  • According to the licensing and pricing page for Jira, it is non-free software. We can't examine, improve, or commission others to do these things to it. Why are we considering a non-free tracker for Python?

    The word on the street: "We want the best solution possible without being political." Sounds like a minor BitKeeper incident in the making, but then SourceForge isn't entirely run on open source software, either. -- PaulBoddie
