The purpose of this page is to consolidate and track pending hosting requests our project has submitted to its Mac OS Forge host. When thinking about a functionality you may desire at the server level, keep in mind that Mac OS Forge is not only shared with other projects but also that it does not have a staff of dedicated system administrators to cater to every single request. Therefore please refrain from submitting any hpsting related ticket before presenting a valid case for it on the [http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev MacPorts Development list] and gathering at least some consensus over your proposal. Generally speaking, it's best to channel such requests through the [http://guide.macports.org/#project.portmgr MacPorts management team] ([wiki:MacPortsDevelopers#portmgr see members]), since they are the ones in most frequent communication with Mac OS Forge admin personnel and as a result have a better feel for the state of current and/or pending hosting requests.

That being said, following is a list of the top priority request tickets that are currently in progress:

 * Finish implementation of the svn revprop post-commit hook, #12593;
 * svn props pre-commit hook, #12594;
 * Trac users management plugin, #12595 (an alternative is currently being investigated);
 * ~~Add link to MacPorts ticket creation guide, #13735~~;
 * ~~Trac e-mail notifications, #10672~~;
 * ~~real author in "From" header in svn commit log emails, #12602~~;
 * ~~Match current ticket field values in already existing entries, #12603~~.

The full list of open hosting requests can be found through this [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&component=server/hosting&order=priority Trac search], while those already closed and dealt with can be found through this [query:status=closed&component=server/hosting&order=priority other one].

Lastly, below is a list of some thoughts that might make it into formal requests once their feasibility through futher investigation is determined:

 * Investigate extending trac's privileges engine to restrict non MacPorts team members from using some ticket values, like setting a priorities to a non-default value;
