I don't run any variation of Debian, so won't be tracking or testing OS issues other than what gets reported to the Trac-related bug- trackers as plugin bugs. > There are also a lot of dependent packages all of which have to > maintained and tested.

The prevalent opinion from other developers is to branch for every major Trac release, and that is the policy you'll see both at trac.edgewall.org and at trac-hacks.org for most of the plugins in your list. A lot the plugins you listed would therefore need to be packaged twice. Personally I don't like or use this strategy, and all my plugins handle compat issues inside the plugin allowing same code to work on both 0.11 and 0.12. Bitten, CustomFieldAdmin and RPC in list can all be packaged at latest svn version with dependency on either trac011 or trac012. I'll only consider branching due to Trac version if I really need to. > trac-wikirename (2.1.1-1) > trac plugin which allows to rename wiki pages This package is not needed for 0.12.x seeing that wiki rename functionality is now included in Trac itself. :::simon https://www.coderesort.com http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/osimons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
