I'm kicking of a little side project in PHP here shortly and have gone through some of the Trac setup again :). > What would you describe as features that we should be particularly > interested in using? > Tickets, tickets, and more tickets. My biggest complaint with OpenOCD is how bugs are tracked. It's great that we have a little file and this mailing list to quasi-manage things, but it's quite nice to also have a ticket database. That way, we can attach tickets and enhancements to certain milestones, aka releases, so that there can be a better management of when a release should occur. You also gain the positive of a wiki where different things for development can be documented. Another important feature has to do with hooks that look at commit messages for ticket numbers. These essentially can close/update tickets based on commit messages. When I went to look at the git plug-in for Trac, they have the python scripts for doing the post-receive-hook which would deal with updating tickets. > > Do > > you have this working with the OpenOCD git repository on SF?

I'm going to play with this a little bit with my sourceforge project that's hooked up to git and I'll get back to you. -- // Dean Glazeski
