[admin] New project questions
Hi, I am planning to post a new project soon. Before I request the project, I have a few questions: Is it possible to have the project created "unpublished" so that I have time to set up and populate everything before the world can see it? Is it possible to create one or zero mailing lists instead of the default three? My experience with my other project is that approval requests for spam greatly outweigh any actual traffic, and I expect the new project to be low traffic. Do you have any kind of hit or download counter available? I'm curious about these numbers. You say to proceed as if there are no backups. I planned to use svn-hot-backup and TracBackup to make my own backups, but they don't show up under `which'. What do you use/recommend? Thank you. Liam (lhealy)
Hi Liam,
Is it possible to have the project created "unpublished" so that I have time to set up and populate everything before the world can see it?
Possible? Yes. Supported? No. <smile>. I can see wanting to do this but the current scripts don't make this easy. Sorry.

This is also difficult but I'll look into improving this since I agree that a lot of mailing lists are not currently being used.
Do you have any kind of hit or download counter available? I'm curious about these numbers.
I'm not aware of such a thing but I've heard lots of good stuff about Google analytics.

I'll defer to Drew on this. Drew? -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM
OK thanks for the answers Gary. Could you please create for me the following project GSLL Gnu Scientific Library for Lisp An interface to the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL) from Common Lisp. The license will be LLGPL/FDL. At the present time, I am the only developer. I would like a Subversion repository and a Trac page. I would like just one mailing list which will handle all traffic (expected to be low), if that is possible. I am already a clnet user (lhealy). Thank you for doing this, and thank you for providing the project hosting. Liam On 2/15/08, Gary King <gwking@metabang.com> wrote:

Hi Liam, You _should_ now have a new project in /project/gsll. It has both CVS and SVN setup; it also has a Trac. I let the existing script create the usual three mailing lists (-CVS, -ANNOUNCE, and -DEVEL) and then deleted the first two. You should have received some automated mail that describes most of this. I run into a few glitches while running the setup scripts. All _should_ be well but please let me know if anything seems awry. On Feb 19, 2008, at 10:47 PM, Liam Healy wrote:

Thanks Gary, I'm mostly set up. One glitch - it appears that one has to be logged in to submit a ticket on Trac, at least the "New Ticket" button doesn't appear unless you're logged in (in fact it seems to be this way for all the clnet trac projects). Can this be changed so that anyone can submit a ticket? Thanks. Liam On 2/24/08, Gary King <gwking@metabang.com> wrote:

Do you know anything about trac offhand? If this is a simple configuration change that can be done on a per-project basis, that i've got no problem implementing this. Cheers, drewc
Thanks.

I forget the details but it can be done (on a project-by-project basis even, I think). The downside is the spam (which is why it was disabled). On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 7:48 PM, Drew Crampsie <drew.crampsie@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the suggestion. I figured it out from http://trac.common-lisp.net/gsll/wiki/TracPermissions; you just need to do trac-admin /project/gsll/trac permission add anonymous TICKET_CREATE I logged out and I still see the "New Ticket" button, so I think it's good. I'm not sure how you would do this in bulk for all projects. Liam On 2/24/08, Drew Crampsie <drew.crampsie@gmail.com> wrote:
