#3003 new enhancement

milestone could be a ticket

Description

can milestones be implemented as tickets too, just by marking a ticket as milestone? a milestone can depend on other milestones, they can be in parallel, they have a responsible, they have an importance, and they depend on the completion of tickets.

currently the milestone concept has a few weaknesses:

  • changes are not tracked
  • no responsible
  • no dependencies (or just implicit by setting dates)
  • consolidated view over multiple trac instances, i.e. have a big milestone consisting of small ones stored in other trac instances.

mark a ticket as a milestone, intertrac, and ticket dependencies would solve 95% of these issues. do you see any disadvantage in doing this?

You may want to have a look at SubTickets, which is a special case for the general TracObjectModelProposal approach, and discusses what could be put in common between tickets and milestones.

Strange, "tiger_seed" was not part of the content submitted to the SpamFilter.

comment:11 by Dirk Stöcker, 13 years ago

Fixed in r10541.

Great! Thanks, all 0.12 and 0.13 instances were upgraded.

(so long, tiger_seed ;-) )

comment:14 by Remy Blank, 13 years ago

Mmh… Comment numbering seems to be thoroughly fscked up here. I wonder how we managed to get comment:2 after comment:8

comment:15 by Christian Boos, 13 years ago

Definitely a ticket full of interesting [OT] issues ;-)

The second comment:2 was created by a batch modification at the occasion of the deletion of the temporary triaging milestone. That looks like the culprit.

comment:16 by Christian Boos, 13 years ago

Same story on #4583 (also the same two consecutive milestone deletion there), but on #7342 it's fine, and there has been one change between those two milestone deletion.

comment:17 by Remy Blank, 13 years ago

OT: I'm currently in the process of fixing all those comment numbering issues by hand in the database. I have tried reproducing the issue with current 0.12-stable, but wasn't able to. My guess is that the milestone deletion was done at a point where we still had issues with comment numbering (#8947), but the timing doesn't seem right. If anyone can find a reliable way to reproduce the issue, I'm interested.

On-Topic again:

By making milestone a ticket, it would also solve #7871. But I guess changing milestone to ticket is quite a lot of work (described at SubTickets). And it would depend on #886 (#31 is a more generic version of that ticket).
