Update Mar 23, 2016: We are happy to announce that the transition to JIRA has been successful. The new URL is https://northerntech.atlassian.net/projects/CFE. All existing issues from Redmine have been transferred to JIRA. Redirects are in place for the old URLs. All users have been migrated, however please be aware you must request a new password the first time you login. As you can read from the URL, CFEngine is now a project under Mender Software AS. Mender Software is the name of the Norwegian holding company that is the owner of CFEngine. For several years we had been using Redmine to track CFEngine issues and bugs. Redmine served us well, but after thorough evaluation we found that time has come to move on to JIRA. The main benefits for this shift are:

  • Community can vote on issues
  • Improved integration with our internal development process
  • Improved reporting capabilities

We hope the move to JIRA will increase community participation and improve communication between internal and external CFEngine contributors. With this we also expect a more transparent planning and tracking of issues, which in return will lead to more efficient and predictable decisions and prioritizations. Overall we believe this move will make our engineering and development process more efficient. We look forward to seeing you all on our new ticketing system.
