Hi, Today's post [1] about feature suggestion for the BGL made me browse a bit and noticed this curious notes in the README [2] "Bugs and feature requests can be reported through the Trac issue tracker (...) Here [3] is why Trac is still in use." Is this information up to date? Last (substantial) change to the README.md happened in 2016. The Trac use rationale linked [3] from the readme is from 2015. [1] https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/02/248164.php [2] https://github.com/boostorg/graph/blob/develop/README.md [3] https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2015/04/221780.php Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Unlikely. While GitHub issues might lack some functionality, we should really be using them and not make users go through Trac (which should be retired and put into a read only mode). That README content came from an outside contributor, and while at one point we did rely on Trac after the GitHub migration, that has since changed with most repositories and maintainers looking to GitHub issues as the primary source of tracking features and bugs. I'd check by e-mailing the maintainer of Graph directly. Most likely that README.md should be updated to strike that text. Glen

Graph has no active maintainer - the CMT has done some maintenance - that's mostly me as gatekeeper with anadon doing most of the heavy lifting. I've tried to keep it to minor maintenance along with some testing/CI improvements. In any event, I've just pushed a fix for this, also added CI badges while I was at it. Best, John.

I was wondering about it when I looked at the README.

Thank you Thanks to Glen and Paul for the responses too. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Trac is now read-only I believe - but still contains potentially valuable historic bug reports. As far as I know, new 'bug' reports should use GitHub issues. Paul
