Hi.
I've just noticed that OsmocomBB is not on the list of projects at
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/admin/projects/
Is this because nobody bothered adding it there yet or it's because maintainers do
not find it suitable? If it's the latter than I'd love to see it added to
streamline
contributions and patch review process.

I guess it's simply that nobody bothered to do so, as activity on
OsmocomBB has been extremely low.
I don't mind gerrit for OsmocomBB, not sure how the others think.
One issue that I fear is that I see very little activity outside of the
sysmocom team in gerrit in terms of review. I had the feeling this was
better while posting patches still on the mailing lists. I'm not sure
there is a causality.

I'm not sure if it's just me or if I'm using it wrong but I'm always
annoyed when I have to login to gerrit ...
1) I shouldn't be logged out at all ... it's not a high security stuff
that session should be kept open for a long time, like > 1 week
without issues ...
2) I have to retype the openid login url. I mean there is a login with
Yahoo and login with Launchpad Id dedicated link, isn't there a way to
add, "login with your osmocom redmine account" link ?
3) Then I'm redirected to redmine, where I have to login as well,
because again for some reason I've been logged out. Same comment as
above, unless I explicitely log out, that session should last for ever
pretty much ...
4) When I then login to redmine, I get redirected to the OpenID end
point but at this point the "open id state" or whatever has been lost
and so I need to go back to gerrit and re-do the whole login process
so it can do it in one go without being interrupted by the redmine
login process and finally log me into gerrit ...
I can assure you I gave up on the whole process more than one time ....
Cheers,
Sylvain

Hi,
I agree with this sentiment. I haven't gave up on the process those
few times I did a review, but I still find it very annoying that I
need to re-login every time, especially given the process is not so
straightforward. It would be nice if my login lasted forever.
Another reason is that by default you're subscribed only to patches
you're explicitly mentioned in. So unless you make a conscious
decision to enable notifications about all patches, you won't even
notice there is something to review. And then you have to figure out
how to enable this. So it may help if you was offered to select
project you're interested in during user registration and you're
subscribed to all patches from those projects.

thanks for raising this issue. It is probably as simple as to extend
the cookie expiration or something like that. That would at least
already resolve '1)' + '4)' from your list.
I've created https://osmocom.org/issues/2015 and
https://osmocom.org/issues/2016 to track this. We'll have to see who
can look into it, guess Holger and Neels are most familiar with the
setup.

Hi,
I've gotten somewhat used to it but it's a bit of an eyebrow raiser every
time. The OpenID seems like it should be really useful, why else would it
have been invented, but practically for me it blows up the usual
click-on-login with the password remembered from my keystore to a
three-step process. I wish gerrit simply had a password. (It does, but
that seems to be unusuable for website logins, only for build bots?)

My browser remembers the URL but I still need to type 'h' to trigger the
https... URL.

A way to shorten the process is to login on osmocom.org first, and only
then move on to gerrit -- annoying, I agree. I assume the redmine login
dialog loses gerrit's state.
I can assure you I gave up on the whole process more
than one time ....
Gave up? :)
I pestered about it when we moved to gerrit, but it does work.
Admitted, sometimes the '500 Bad Gateway' needs a browser restart...
In summary, I agree the login is unusually cumbersome.
+1 for a "login via osmocom.org" link, not sure where to plug that though.
+1 for longer sessions, also not quite sure how configurable that is...
I think both redmine and gerrit remain logged in as long as the browser
keeps the login cookie? I'm usually logged out only when I restart the
browser.
In the redmine admin, I see an "Autologin: disabled" item that can be set
to 1, 7, 30 or 365 days. I'd switch that to 30 days if everyone agrees.
Gerrit configuration is generally a bit unusual, so far I couldn't find a
way to configure login sessions.

Actually, I set it to 30 days now. Please tell me if you disagree and I'll
set it back to "disabled".
