So it looks like the main issue with having updated trac packages is that there aren't enough developers and a lot of open issues. I suspect there would be a huge benefit to having a more formal relationship between the group on trac-dev (like somebody who frequents this list) and the maintainers of the trac and trac related packages.
You provided links to a bunch of trac related bugs... most of which are packaging requests... but take a look at the current thread regarding trac itself in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=trac In particular this one regarding packaging of 0.12: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563391 There are also a lot of dependent packages all of which have to maintained and tested. And in some cases modified to conform to Debian's way of doing things. Basically a ton of work. For those of us who can "get by" without having formal packages a lot of this isn't an issue. Though I understand where you're coming from... one of the many issues I face with trac adoption is that our current system administrator is not a fan (I was the sysadmin for my company back when we started using trac... ;-) Here's a blog post from the current DPL Stefano Zacchiroli that I saw over the holidays... not that I've personally had time to do anything about it. :-) http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2010/12/how_to_contribute_to_Debian/ If you want to help out I think the place to start would be with the Python Applications Packaging Team: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/python-apps-team/ Ben Trac related packages in debian: trac (0.11.7-4) Enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects trac-bitten (0.6b2.dfsg-3) continuous integration plugin for Trac trac-customfieldadmin (0.2.2+r6485-1) panel for administrating custom ticket fields in Trac trac-email2trac (1.0.0-1) Creates and amends Trac tickets from e-mail trac-ja-resource (0.11.5.ja1-1) Japanese resources for trac trac-mastertickets (2.1.3+r4179-1) adds inter-ticket dependencies to Trac trac-wikiprint (1.6+r5729-1) Make Trac wiki pages printable, exporting to PDF or printable HTML trac-wysiwyg (0.2+svn5931-1) WYSIWYG style editor for the Trac issue tracking system trac-xmlrpc (1.0.6+svn6598-1) XML-RPC interface to the Trac wiki and issue tracking system trac-accountmanager (0.2.1+r7731-1) account management plugin for Trac trac-authopenid (0.2.4-1) OpenID authentication plugin for Trac trac-git (0.0.20100513-2) Git version control backend for Trac trac-graphviz (0.7.5-1) Graphs printing plugin for Trac trac-icalviewplugin (0.7889-1) Provides iCalendar feeds for ticket queries trac-mercurial (0.11.0.7+svnr8365-3) Mercurial version control backend for Trac trac-spamfilter (0.2.1+svn6871-3) Spam-prevention plugin for Trac trac-wikirename (2.1.1-1) trac plugin which allows to rename wiki pages trac-wikitablemacro (0.7785-1) Table from an arbitrary SQL for Trac On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 9:10 AM, Pander <[email protected]> wrote: > And this one too: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/trac/+bug/696284 > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Trac Development" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
