Trac InterTrac Links

[netweb]

Currently all the InterTrac links are a little all over the place. The below outlines a single proposal to change the InterTrac alias 'bp' to link to 'BuddyPress' instead of 'BackPress' and to update each Trac sites InterLink trac.ini config files for consistency across all Trac projects.

Proposed Trac 'Project' Names

(WordPress, BackPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & Making WordPress.org Trac projects)

Add each Trac Project to all InterTrac trac.ini(​trac.ini docs) instances of Trac across the WordPress Trac Network.
There are no actual names changes here, currently each Trac site only uses a subset of the list here (as detailed further below) and I don't think this change will break any of the Trac sites listed.

Prefix	Trac Site	Ticket	Changeset
backpress	BackPress Trac	​#BACKPRESS1	​[BACKPRESS1]
bbpress	bbPress Trac	​#BBPRESS1	​[BBPRESS1]
buddypress	BuddyPress Trac	​#BUDDYPRESS1	​[BUDDYPRESS1]
meta	Making WordPress.org Project	#META1	[META1]
trac	The Trac Project	#TRAC1	[TRAC1]
unittests	WordPress Tests Trac	#UNITTESTS1	[UNITTESTS1]
wordpress	WordPress Trac	​#WORDPRESS1	​[WORDPRESS1]

Proposed Trac 'Alias' Names

(WordPress, BackPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & Making WordPress.org Trac projects)

Prefix	Trac Site	Ticket	Changeset
bb	Alias for bbPress	​#BB1	​[BB1]
bp	Alias for BuddyPress	#BP1	[BP1]
wp	Alias for WordPress	​#WP1	​[WP1]

The above change is for the alias 'bp' to now point to BuddyPress rather than the current behaviour to BackPress. The last code commit to BackPress was 9 months ago ​[backpress355] and not sure if this is possible but a regex search across ALL Trac projects and replace any existing #BP1/[BP1] references to ​#BACKPRESS1/​[BACKPRESS1].

Not sure about these two, 'd' I have not seen before and 'ut' is now depreciated but by not removing them then we are not breaking them either.

Prefix	Trac Site	Ticket	Changeset
d	Alias for wp	#D1	[D1]
ut	Alias for unittests	#UT1	[UT1]

d was for ​https://design.trac.wordpress.org, corresponding to ​https://design.svn.wordpress.org.

The design.svn repo is now part of core.trac: ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/design.

The old unit-tests.svn repo is the same way: ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tests. But there are still a lot of valid references to old unit-tests.trac tickets that we need to make sure continue to work.

I don't think where "bp" points to matters much. I would rather just not have "bp" at all — and make it either "BuddyPress" or "BackPress" spelled out. I imagine some comments and potentially some commit messages are referencing "bp", but we can just have it without documenting it.

It would make the most sense for these projects to be full names anyway, based on the sub-subdomain in use. buddypress.trac is ​#buddypress1, bbpress.trac is ​#bbpress1, etc.

Cool... We can leave all the alias' as they are in each Trac and then none of that gets broken and just add all the project names to each Trac:

Prefix	Trac Site	Ticket	Changeset
backpress	BackPress Trac	​​#BACKPRESS1	​[BACKPRESS1]
bbpress	bbPress Trac	​#BBPRESS1	​[BBPRESS1]
buddypress	BuddyPress Trac	​#BUDDYPRESS1	​[BUDDYPRESS1]
meta	Making WordPress.org Project	#META1	[META1]
trac	The Trac Project	#TRAC1	[TRAC1]
unittests	WordPress Tests Trac	#UNITTESTS1	[UNITTESTS1]
wordpress	WordPress Trac	​#WORDPRESS1	​[WORDPRESS1]

Are the trac.ini configs publicly accessable? (I tried but couldn't find them)

If so I will have a crack at a patch ;)

[netweb]

Potentially could also sneak in iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry Trac's.

[nacin]

Done.

I'm working on standardizing trac.ini across all of our Tracs by creating shared/inherited files that can be made public. There will be an intertrac.ini file as part of this, soon.

[netweb]

Cool :)

[nacin]

Here's the config as it stands:

[intertrac]
backpress.compat = false
backpress.title = BackPress Trac
backpress.url = https://backpress.trac.wordpress.org/

buddypress.compat = false
buddypress.title = BuddyPress Trac
buddypress.url = https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

bbpress.compat = false
bbpress.title = bbPress Trac
bbpress.url = https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

backpress.compat = false
backpress.title = BackPress Trac
backpress.url = https://backpress.trac.wordpress.org/

meta.compat = false
meta.title = Making WordPress.org Trac
meta.url = https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/

wordpress.compat = false
wordpress.title = WordPress Trac
wordpress.url = https://core.trac.wordpress.org/

wp = wordpress
bb = bbpress

A few Tracs also have "bp" for BackPress, for backwards compatibility. Core has "d" and a few have the unit tests Trac referenced too.

Awesome, thanks heaps for this Nacin, makes things a little easier and consistent across Trac's. :)
