The purpose of this page is to consolidate and track pending infrastructure 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 infrastructure related ticket before presenting a valid case for it on the ​MacPorts development list and gathering at least some consensus over your proposal. Generally speaking, it's best to channel such requests through the MacPorts management team (jberry, jmpp & mww), 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 infrastructure and/or pending requests.

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

• Trac e-mail notifications, #10672 (done!);
• svn post-revprop-change hook, #12593 (done!);
• svn props pre-commit hook, #12594;
• Trac users management plugin, #12595 (an alternative is currently being investigated);
• real author in "From" header in svn commit log emails, #12602 (done!);
• Match current ticket field values in already existing entries, #12603 (done!).

The full list of open infrastructure requests can be found through the following trac search: ​http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=infrastructure&order=priority

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 values, like setting a ticket to the MacPorts x.y milestone;
• investigate linking new ticketing guidelines right off the ​new ticket form;
