Outdated Content about GRASS Trac

This Trac instance is used for ​GRASS GIS, for bug, enhancement & task tracking, a developer wiki, and a view into the subversion code repository. To edit the wiki pages and bug/enhancement/task tickets you'll need to login with an ​OSGeo Userid. Read the TracGuide for details about how the site works.

The source code is managed on GitHub. The GitHub repositories are:

• GRASS GIS core (7x - 8.x): ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass
• GRASS GIS legacy (3.x-6.x): ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-legacy
• GRASS GIS Add-ons: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons
• GRASS GIS promotional material: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-promo
• GRASS GIS Website: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website

Bug Tracking

• ​Submit a new bug report, a wish, or pull request (on GitHub since January 2020)
• Before January 2020, issues/tickets were managed here on this Trac instance.
  • New issues are to be created on GitHub, but old issues can be still discussed and edited here on Trac (comment, close, ...).
  • List Open Bugs here on Trac
  • For editing, you need to ​login with an ​OSGeo Userid; read some help for using Trac.
  • Bugs on Trac specific to: MS Windows, wxGUI, GRASS 6, GRASS 7
  • List Open Enhancement Requests here on Trac
  • How to use ticket keywords here on Trac
  • Note: All ticket communications from Trac are directly sent to the ​grass-dev mailing list in order to notify the developers.
