Hello All,

Background:
-----------
Recently we've set up Trac+SVN to replace our ageing CVS  
environment.  We build our products so that they have a build number  
in them, and we're thinking of changing this so that the build number  
is simply the subversion repository number (a change that I think is  
natural and intuitive).  One of the support guys came up to me today  
and said 'how do I find out what the changes we're in a particular  
build?'.

I know: there are many ways to solve this particular problem - I'm  
trying to find out if there is a way I can solve this using Trac.

The Problem:
------------
What we'd like to be able to do is somehow extract all of the tickets  
that relate to a particular build number, or relate to a range of  
build numbers.  E.g. show me all the tickets that relate to build  
1190 (i.e repo number 1190).

The requirement comes about because when we set up our systems for  
testing, we need to know specifically what must be heavily tested in  
addition to the regression tests being performed, it's also helpful  
for our support staff - since they don't want to be manually  
searching the Trac tickets DB to dig this information out by having  
to read through each ticket to see if it relates to a particular build.

My Thoughts:
------------
There's no specific relationship between a ticket and a build - so I  
can't just write some SQL to create a report.  There is a  
relationship between a Milestone and tickets of course (which is why  
I was thinking of pulling all the tickets for a build), so I can get  
a list of tickets related to a milestone, but the milestone bears no  
relationship to a build - and in reality I might have multiple  
milestones that relate to a single build 'goal'.

Perhaps I am bending the intention of Trac too much?  I believe Trac  
sees the world from a 'milestone perspective' anyway.

My Question:
------------
Are there any plugins or other software that would provide an answer  
to this kind of question?  I've seen only the WebAdmin plugin, and no  
others - so any pointers to things that might be let me reach my goal  
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
