I forgot a feature a big feature that I use all the time. I use it so much, I forgot about it.
unfortunately for us, most of out outside contractors, don't have access to our Trac, and more importantly, our Subversion repo, due to "IT restrictions" lets say. So, we end up doing "manual" source control for these individuals. They send us their changes, we merge them into the trunk, and send out a zip file of the latest/greatest trunk to everyone. Well, that was without trac. Now, we still have to merge their changes to the trunk. but we then go to the revision log for the trunk between revision LAST_TIME_WE_SENT_IT_OUT and the head revision we just merged in. we click the "zip archive" download in other formats option, and send the resulting zip file to everyone, which contains the complete contents, and directory structure of ONLY the changed files. SOO much better than doing a full checkout/local copy update, manually zipping the whole dang solution, and emailing the whole thing (or ftp server, whatever) Yes, Ideally they would have access to the repo, however my expectation is that our IT will let that happen in about a billion years from now.... It's another one of "the little things" that make Trac, as a whole, a much superior tool. It's not just one or two key features, but its more than a sum of its parts, significantly more. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
