Trac should use email notifications of bug changes

[tobhahn@…]

trac should email various people (creator, owner, ...) when a ticket changes. The bugzilla behavior is what I would like to have. As a user, I would like to be able to report bugs, but with the current behavior I'm forced to check the trac website regularly to respond to requests for further explanantions, clarifications etc. This is very inefficient.

I think the track settings:

always_notify_reporter = true always_notify_owner = true always_notify_updater = true

(under [notification])

Would probably be good

(along with setting smtp_server, smtp_from, smtp_enabled, smtp_replyto, stmp_port and perhaps setting mime_encoding = qp)

[jmpp@…]

This is not a port bug, removing milestone.

PS: This is a MacPorts long standing request and my top priority to report to macosforge admin personnel, as reported to Kevin on IRC conversations. However, I think there are duplicates to this entry, so I'll look to concentrate all requests into a single, well detailed one.

Can someone confirm if this is still not working as desired? I am taking over kvv's tickets on here.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I can confirm that this is still not working as desired (unless you've changed something very recently).

[wsiegrist@…]

I enabled always_notify_owner, always_notify_reporter, and always_notify_updater.

I also added macports-tickets@… as an "always_bcc" per jmpp's request.

What about mime_encoding? It should be defaulting to base64 currently. Do you want qp?

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I would set qp (as most of the traffic is going to be english/ascii), but I don't think it matters too much.

[wsiegrist@…]

Well the setting only affects MP, so I'm willing to set it to whatever MP wants. You just said "perhaps" originally so I was checking if thats what you want.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I would prefer it, but I don't speak for MP (and am not on portmgr), so I'll let them decide.

[wsiegrist@…]

smtp_always_cc is working now. Mail will go to macports-tickets. Can Macports management make the call on email encoding?

Text in tickets will (should) always be English, so setting qp for the mime encoding should be alright.

Done. mime_encoding set to qp.

Done. mime_encoding set to qp.

Great! Closing ticket.
