TracHacks:TracSvnAuthzPlugin a simple web interface to edit the subversion authz files. TracHacks:TracSvnHooksPlugin a simple web interface to edit the subversion hook files. Version Control Systems TracHacks:GitPlugin support for the git DVCS TracHacks:PerforcePlugin support for the Perforce VCS TracMercurial support for the Mercurial DVCS TracDarcs support for the Darcs DVCS Trac-Bzr support for the Bazaar DVCS Which covers the 3 key ones I set out. > - It have a nice xml-rpc API > - Well documented > - A nice web interface > - A lot of plugins So it seems ;) > > drawbacks: > > - It realy requires plugins (which exists) for > * users managment from an web interface > * fine grained permissions (lock some wiki pages/namespace) > - It cannot handle multiple projects repositories This last one could be a problem, as things like git/bzr let everyone have a repository.

Not sure I like the idea of ruby/rails on the servers though. kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian user / gNewSense contributor http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
