Geoff,
On the server, TFS 2013 and newer is supported. Running the Review Board
server on Linux is fine.
One new wrinkle on the client side is that the RBTools interface won't work
with workspaces created by the new VS 2017 release, because Microsoft broke
compatibility with their own SDK (we're looking into options). If you're
using older VS releases, they should work fine.
As far as making TFS support part of the core release, it's possible that
will happen eventually but not soon. We've found that commercial version
control systems (like TFS or ClearCase) attract a lot *less* open-source
contribution than other systems, probably because very few open-source
developers use them. Right now the only way that it's commercially viable
for us to support it is to have it as part of Power Pack.

Hello,
I have used Review Board at my previous employer with great success and it
was really awesome. On that team, we used RB in the typical fashion with
git. The RB server was on linux and the clients were all (mostly) linux.
In my new role, I am experimenting with RB with a TFS/TFVC repository and
am running into a lot of issues. I setup an Ubuntu server and installed
the powerpack extension. For now, it is just me experimenting so the 2
user limit is not an issue. My client machine uses windows.
This leads me to a few questions:
- Does RB/powerpack support TFS 2015 or 2017? (some of the documents I
read were a little stale and out of sync with release notes)
- Does the powerpack extension work correctly with TFS while RB server
is hosted on linux?
- Is there any intention of ever making TFS part of the free/open source
version?
- I believe there would be more users and more contribution to make
TFS stable.
- It would probably lead to more users thus more potential purchasers
of the other powerpack features :)
- It is hard to 'sell' the idea to management when it isn't stable
and/or requires much effort to configure. More contribution will fix
this. If it was purely open source and free, it would be much easier to
justify spending time.
ReviewBoard is an awesome tool and I think there is a huge world of TFS
users out there who would enjoy it as well if it was easier to use for this
specific case.
Thanks,
Geoff
