We are in the process of publishing bug fix release 0.5.3 . While running that version the situation will be exactly the same . Multi-product support however is the main target for next major version . As such, it has been committed into trunk and we are actively working in the following directions : 1. Unit and functional testing 2. Improve support for DB backends (e.g. PostgreSQL) 3. Data migration (JIRA, single-product Trac / Bloodhound upgrades) 4. Usability details * notably those related to establishing a clear distinction between site admins (e.g. infra) and product admins (e.g. PMC power users) Personally , I'll start to use trunk version on my own shortly after some changes will be committed . Overall it's looking good enough to try it . So , ASF deployment for new podlings will be possible after releasing version 0.6.0 (or 1.0 , depending on what version number is coming next ;) . At that time the issue tracking platform and tools will be ready for use by new podlings. Shortly after that milestone existing TLP might even be able to migrate from JIRA if considered appropriate . Support for migrating data hosted by other issue trackers will take a little bit longer. Should anybody be interested on one such migration (Bugzilla, Scarab, ...) please let us know. > If it is ready for us I think we should invite podlings to use > Bloodhound - and maybe even suggest Bloodhound as first idea. > We are very excited about the possibility of using it to assist ASF communities in the process of «creating high quality software that leads the way in its field» . One such deployment will be quite important for us to gather feedback and improve the solution we've got . The Bloodhound community will always welcome request for enhancements and will be there for you to fix issues as soon as possible . > Thoughts? > It's worth to mention that even after all this happen there will be limited or no support to connect the repository browser to the repository at svn.apache.org . It all depends on the progress we can make working on #478 [1]_ . On the other hand it will be possible to do so for `git` repositories . Based on my previous experience using Trac + Git this will actually work . Beware of the fact that there's a lot of room for improvements , especially when dealing with (big / huge) git repositories . ..
