I want just comment that any directory ending with pathdelim will return false. See below:

DirectoryExists('C:\Windows'): TRUE
DirectoryExists('C:\Windows\'): FALSE

BTW: The fpc bugtracker is quite minimal, not allowing things like adding comments, followups etc.
It seems there's a plan to rewrite the bugtracker, am i correct? If no or if will take much time maybe a solution would be addopting one dedicated bugtracker system like lazarus/mantis

Thanks in advance

For most bugs, there is no need for such things.

Yes.

Well... It's another additional external system to maintain. I'll rewrite the bugtracker, and at that time, I'll add some features.

For the bugs I submitted to fpc I had 2 or 3 times afterwards the need to add comments or to correct my report.

That is why the Lazarus team switched to mantis. Rewriting the bugtracker would take also time. And it has also to be maintained. Further rewriting wouldn't give all options we have with mantis now.

Setting it up consist merely of having a MySQL db and running the mantis admin script from your webbrowser.

Despite the fact that e.g. my account is still broken :)))

Or: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_news_entry_from_row() in /home/websites/lazarus/mantis/main_page.php on line 71 :)

Maybe, but none of the bug systems which I checked (bugzilla/mantis/others) really satisfy.

I am against a system that requires you to make a login to be able to submit/manipulate bugs. I myself am put off by that, so I assume other people will react the same. I think most of these systems are leaning towards bloatware. The FPC bugtracker is very simple, just a single table. I want to add one more table for some follow-up remarks, but that is it. KISS is the principle...

What is broken ?

I saw it after I added a news item. That used to work. :(

Have a look at trac:

Agreed.

Yes, but comments are something really nice :)

IMO anonymous submitting reports is OK, modifying and maitaining not. When switching to mantis I didn't look how to enable anonymous reports, but I think it is possible (in our old tracker you had to logon also)

if you speak of bugzilla, it think it is.

The old lazarus bugtracker was also one table. But it didn't satisfy. I think the number of tables doesn't matter, it is the functionality provided for me as devel what matters. Not being able to view bug tagged for a certain release or assinged to me was a real pain in the old system. Again, adding those features would take time, which wasn't available. If we did it ourselves, we still had the old one. (imo the rate of solved bugs increased since we switched to it)
When looking at mantis, there were more useful features than unusefull.

I tried to reset my password because I forgot it (account name is FPK):

This account is protected. You are not allowed to access this until the account protection is lifted.

Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section.

Reset.

I see no reason why it is protected.

When evaluating mantis, I did it more from a developer point of view than from a user point of view :) So I din't try all

Anyhow, I've reset your account, you should have received an email.

Marc

Now that looks much better, yes.
The wiki approach is a bit over the top for me, but for the rest it looks nice.

But the setup looks good. A pity it's written in Python.

I know, I plan to add them, as well as an 'assigned to'. References to SVN versions are also planned. (this is now possible, with the unique version numbers - a plus for SVN...)

When talking about things to do there:

- Possibility for users to get notified when a bug entered by somebody else is useful too (as it is now, they can find that some bug is already reported, but only the original author gets notified; if they create their own entry, we close it as a duplicate so they are out of luck too).

- Full-text search possibility would probably reduce the number of duplicate entries.

- Currently, some fields (at least the OS) cannot be edited (by me as a developper).

It works now, thx :)
