Is https://tracker.pureos.net live?

Software PureOS
1

dear fellow supporters of free/libre software and hardware,

is https://tracker.pureos.net live? if i visit this site, the most recent item seems to be from may which is 4 month ago. the most recent bug activity seems to be on one bug in march, and before that there seems to be nothing since october. there seems to have been very little activity in the last year.

has the bug activity moved to another server(s)?

(i was looking to see whether there was a report on the pureos repo outage over the last couple of day and what the comments would be on this report, so i could guess when the repo would be fixed. but my question above is a bit more general.)

thanks for any pointers to where i should look instead!

best wishes,

joe

I do not know the status of https://tracker.pureos.net, but I recommend to have a look here: Explore projects · GitLab

thanks, @janvlug . regarding the specific issue of the pureos repo outage, i was able to find this:

so it seems that maybe people are reporting pureos problems there? however, conceptually, that issue tracker is only for librem 5 issues, and pureos is more general. it seems that the pureos bug tracker is what should be used, but that tracker appears to be nearly dead.

i’m wondering: are most pureos bugs being filed as librem-5-specific issues? perhaps this is because that uses gitlab and people prefer gitlab to maniphest?

so therefore, i should not take the lack of activity at tracker.pureos.net as a sign of impending doom for pureos? or i should?

I tend to agree, but in practice this seems indeed not being the case.

Yes, I guess so.

No :slight_smile:. There is also an optional subscription to advance PureOS. There are monthly progress reports. Here the ones for July and August. And here the current funding.

The team knows about this and is working toward a solution.

I would take it as: There are more problems than available resources to resolve all those problems - so prioritisation has to occur on the Purism side, and many problems may therefore get no love, and, yes, this could also be a discouragement for users to log problems. Another potential point of discouragement could be not knowing which component to log against. I think it is well known that PureOS development had a temporary pause but is now moving forward again.

If it were a sign of doom, and it’s been happening since at least 2016, I’d say that doesn’t meet any definition of impending I’m familiar with.
