bug reporting

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

What's the best to do with unanswered bug-reports / feature-requests on the
mailing list:
- reposting on the list
- posting to the tracker on http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest/
- other?

Greetings, Peter

when urgent (showstopper): repost
else: tracker

"urgent" is quite relative, but ok, I don't see any showstopper in my list.

> else: tracker

Ok, I'll repost some issues there.

But it would be nice, to get some feedback on the tracker. There are a lot
of issues just "open" for a long time. If nobody can provide a solution for
an issue, it would be nice to get a status such as "wontfix", or if it's
just a matter of time, a "target milestone" would be helpful.

Cheers, Peter

sure, however, it's hard to gove some estimated now; the focus on 
development is in mkiv and before we start patching or extending there 
some major changes have to happen (in a next release all structure 
related components will have been adapted and that alone will need some 
testing before extensions can take place)

Oh! What does this mean exactly:
- Is the tracker on foundry.supelec.fr now obsolete?
- Should I move open items from foundry.supelec.fr to luatex.org?
- Is tracker.luatex.org only a temporary solution, or will it be used for a
  not too short time in the future?

Thanks, Peter

please move the items .. we use the mantis tracker for both luatex and 
context; just a better tracker
