Juesthey who controls bugs.maemo.org? the homepage external links are dead00:34
Juestand it could be repurposed for community use00:34
sixwheeledbeastmuch of m.o is partially broken and in maintenance mode01:24
Juestouch02:20
Juestwhy is that?02:20
sixwheeledbeastChunks of it are glued together with an old CMS system that no-one knows how to work.09:50
joergor how to update from http://midgard-project.org/midgard1/  to midgard215:32
joergBergie (iirc) said it wasn't really possible without manmonths of work to port all maemo-proprietary plugins15:33
joergand that was back when there still were maintainers who _knew_ _which_ are those proprietary plugins and what they are meant for and how15:34
joergmidgard1 is dead since 12 years15:40
joergmaemo been (and is) the last site running midgard115:41
joerghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midgard_%28software%29#History  (Henri Bergius = bergie)15:45
joerg>>First application not connected with content management was Nemein.Net, a Professional Services Automation application released in 2002 by Nemein, a Finnish Midgard company.[41] In May 2004 the Nemein.Net suite was renamed to OpenPSA and released under Open Source licensing.[42]15:52
joergBy 2009, some social web services, like Qaiku have also adopted Midgard as their content management platform.[43] It also runs in organizations like Helsinki University of Technology[44] and Maemo<<15:52
joergNemein been the company to host maemo for Nokia15:52
Juestouch16:27
Juestdo we have someone who could look into this?16:27
sixwheeledbeastwhen nokia allowed it to be migrated to the community no-one knew it was this mess and that stuff would break. Much is probably unused or other services have replaced it's function.18:07
joergJuest: we have a 2 or 3 people who technically "can look into this" but it's strictly limited to keeping stuff up and running as much as reasonably justifiable. So the original request >>who controls bugs.maemo.org? the homepage external links are dead. could be repurposed for community use<< doesn't really 100% warrant anybody looking into it. Unclear what's the purpose and goal. I'd think when you come up with a clear cut request, somebody will have a look18:16
joergfocused to this particular issue, to kick and bash things into a somewhat working shape again18:16
joergbugs.maemo.org is not in productive mode anymore. Nobody is going to process any old or new tickets in b.m.o, not even CSSU is getting maintenance any more, maemo-leste afaik has its own services like bucktracker etc18:19
bencoh(github, actually, but yeah)18:20
joergbug, not buck :-)18:20
joergso b.m.o is just for archival purposes18:21
joerghi bencoh !18:21
bencohhey :)18:21
joergJuest: I don't see which external links were dead because of maintenance mode of *.maemo.org, on https://bugs.maemo.org/18:24
joergwe probably should take down https://bu gs.ma emo.org/createaccount.cgi [spaces inserted in purpose!] as whether it would work or probably won't, no matter what, it doesn't serve any purpose anymore18:29
Juesti see this on the homepage18:30
JuestReports about MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan should be filed at harmattan-bugs.nokia.com.18:30
JuestReports about upstream MeeGo should be filed at bugs.meego.com.18:30
sixwheeledbeasti dont believe you can make an account for m.o anymore. maybe just a warning18:30
Juestreally?18:30
joergwarning! I think we get you on blacklict when you try... :-)18:30
sixwheeledbeastwell both are dead projects.18:30
Juestthe logo is broken18:30
joergblacklist*18:31
Juestwhy is the bugzilla still up? (and its linked on bugzilla official list of users)18:31
joerggotta love the "maemo.org [beta]" ;-P18:32
Juestwdym? :)18:32
joerghttps://i.imgur.com/zFTRSlP.jpg18:33
Juestlol This list is too long for maemo.org Bugzilla's little mind;18:34
joerg>>why is the bugzilla still up?<< I just elaborated on why. For archiving what happened back when it been in use18:34
Juest12692 bugs in total18:34
Juestsorry and thanks for the explainer joerg18:36
Juesti had missed the answer to "why is the bugzilla still up?"18:38
joergyw. I just a few days ago had a look into e.g. https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7631 etc, so that's what b.m.o is still kept up and "running" for18:38
Juesti guess ssu uses github as well or something? i do wonder18:40
joerg/join #maemo-ssu18:44

Juestit seems dead as a doornail18:46
