Inconsistency between https://issues.mediagoblin.org/report/9 and ticket statuses in this Trac instance

[Aleksej]

Some of the ticket status values in this Trac instance are:

• new (like UNCONFIRMED in Bugzilla)
• accepted (= confirmed, like NEW in Bugzilla)
• in_progress (like ASSIGNED in Bugzilla)

Trac demo ​http://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.0/ has at least:

• new
• accepted (= has an owner)

​http://issues.mediagoblin.org/report/9 has sections "Accepted" and "Owned". "Accepted" shows "accepted" tickets, which have no owner. "Owned" shows "new" and "in_progress" tickets. The "in_progress" tickets I've seen have an owner, but "new" tickets do not, so the "Owned" section is filled/called incorrectly.

This is intentional. We have to get rid of some of the old states.

I discussed the design for this on the mailing list: ​http://lists.mediagoblin.org/pipermail/devel/2013-May/000537.html

So, this is by design. However, the old states still appear in the issue list and can be removed. Removing them is not hard... their "legacy" just needs to be removed from the trac config.

I'm looking at cleaning that up now.

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Okay, I cleaned up the config. The old states of "accepted" and "reopened" have been removed from everywhere in the config.

https://issues.mediagoblin.org/report/9 still has an "Owned" section showing unassigned tickets. That's what I filed this about. Apparently you have to use https://issues.mediagoblin.org/wiki/TracReports to find out what's wrong.

Closing this - Trac is too much of a pain already for me to be bother with this nitty-gritty detail.
