[Monotone-devel] TracMonotone

[Thomas Moschny]

Hi!

This is to announce that the development of a Monotone Plugin for Trac has 
begun!

Trac [http://www.edgewall.com/trac/] is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking 
system for software development projects. It contains an interface to the 
Subversion revision control system.

Newer versions of Trac are very modular and can be enhanced in various ways 
through a plugin mechanism.

TracMonotone is such a plugin that allows a Trac project to use a Monotone 
instead of a Subversion repository. The plugin enables you to browse your 
project's sourcecode, view changesets, etc., like in any other Trac project. 
Revisions can be linked to from wiki pages, tickets, and any other place that 
contains wiki text, e.g. commit messages, and they can be specified either 
using their hex-id, or via a tag or branch name, and later via Monotone 
selectors, too.

I've made some screenshots: http://www.ipd.uka.de/~moschny/TracMonotone/.

TracMonotone is currently in alpha state. There is no released version yet, 
because of some known bugs and instabilities, and some features missing. The 
per-node changelog for example is not implemented yet, partly due to the 
differences between Subversion and Monotone. 

That said, the source code can be found in Monotone's main repository, in the 
branch net.venge.monotone.trac-plugin. Installation instructions are included 
(and installation of the plugin should be rather easy).

Any feedback is welcome!

Regards,
Thomas
