FWIW, this turned out to be reasonably easy. I decided on the following strategy: 1. In the build script, if I could get a count of the current closed tickets of some variety, that would be enough to adjust the minor/major number, so, I... 2. Installed this plugin from trac: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin#Installation 3. Wrote this (to test if it works): public interface Trac : IXmlRpcProxy { [XmlRpcMethod("ticket.query")] int[] ticketQuery(string qstr); } class Program { static void Main(string [] args) { Trac proxy; proxy = XmlRpcProxyGen.Create<Trac>(); proxy.Url = "your trac location/rpc"; int[] result = proxy.ticketQuery("status=closed&max=0&type=defect"); if( result.Length > 0 ){ foreach(int s in result){ Console.WriteLine(s); } } else { Console.WriteLine("No results."); } Console.Read(); } } Using this: http://xml-rpc.net/ 4. Implemented it as a callable function from NAnt. 5. Benefited from the brilliance. I mean, it's pretty awesome. The only issue is that there doesn't seem to be a rpc function to get strictly a count, but perhaps I've missed the option, or someone will write it. If anyone is interested I'll probably write this up somewhere so that you can get an idea of the whole setup (i.e. the NAnt build script). Still interested to know if someone has some better schemes. -- silky http://dnoondt.wordpress.com/ (Noon Silk) | http://www.mirios.com.au:8081 > "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature."
