pgFoundry tracker spam

I logged a pgFoundry issue following a recent spate of tracker spamming 
on the psqlODBC project. Can one of the admins take a look please?

Cheers, Dave.

sorry for the late response but there is actually a way to change that
setting afterwards though it is not that obvious how ...
For your reference - log into pgfoundy and choose your project.
Now go to "admin" - and choose "edit observer" from the list of the
developers on the right side and on that page you can change edit the
permission on your trackers.

regards

Stefan

Thanks Stefan. You're right - it's not exactly obvious is it!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have worked :-(

yeah - it seems there are multiple issues involved with that. The
(modified) version of gforge we are running is simply not checking for
proper login status and anonymous posting rights in a number of code paths.
It seems that upstream fixed a lot of similiar issues already but
upgrading requires quite a lot of work :-(
I have already started a discussion about that on the gforge-admin list
and I hope we have a final solution to that sooner than later ...

Meanwhile I have backported some of the relevant locking upstream
changes to our version though I'm not totally convinced that this will
fix it fully.
