Yes it's a bunch of plugins. As you may know or soon find, Trac is not just an excellent issue tracker, but is a platform for building and integrating other modules. This is of course evidenced by the huge number plugins on trac-hacks. The aim of Bloodhound is to build new plugins (UI Redesign/Search/Ticket Relations/Multiproduct) and integrate existing plugins from trac-hacks, to build on Trac and provide an integrated and full-featured software configuration management tool. We don't intend to (or at least hope that we never have to) fork from Trac, and regularly push patches back to the Trac core, and will even offer significant features back to the Trac core in the future, and if there is interest from the core developers they may be integrated. > If so, I think I will maybe just copy your multiple-project plugin (I am > not yet interested in the skins, the dashboard or the search engine). > As Olemis pointed out, it is a work in progress. That said, I'd hope to get your interest in following our development or even contributing, but the components aren't ready for production use yet, and they certainly haven't been tested as stand-alone, so you will likely run into trouble if you plan to just copy one of the plugins out of the repository and integrate it into your project. On the other hand, we'd love to have you try it out and submit your thoughts back to the mailing list, and you can help shape where we take those plugins leading up to the first release. You may also want to take a step back and survey the existing multi-product/project solutions: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/Proposals/MultipleProject My idea is to plan this project as a set of plugins and trac.ini config so > that it is directly deployable without any config to work, but configurable > for each faculty.

Maybe I can find some time in the next few days to try to get it working again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
