| + | === Mail interface === | ||
| + | Per default Trac only has support for notification emails. Trac does however expose some of its internal api trough python, so it is possible | ||
| + | to write a plugin for it trough /etc/aliases (RT-style). But we'd had to maintain this code ourself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === RPC interface === | ||
| + | Trac does not have an rpc interface per default, but there is a plugin available that exposes some of the python api. | ||
| + | <code python> | ||
| + | import xmlrpclib | ||
| + | # Connect | ||
| + | server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("https://kristian.klette@uninett.no:notmyrealpassword@localhost/trac-dev/login/xmlrpc") | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Report a bug | ||
| + | ticketid = server.ticket.create("My summary", "A description of the problem") | ||
| + | |||
| + | # base64 encode traceback | ||
| + | import base64 | ||
| + | trackeback = base64.b64encode(get_traceback()) | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Add traceback to ticket | ||
| + | server.ticket.putAttachment(ticketid, "traceback.log", "Traceback of the error", traceback) | ||
| + | |||
| + | print "Created ticket", ticketid | ||
| + | |||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The api it self is quite nice actually, though poorly documented. A rough api-coverage is given at www.track-hacks.org, but only to authenticated users. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Code hosting/integration === | ||
| + | Trac support code integration of mercurial branches trough a plugin. The plugin is available in debian, so | ||
| + | shouldn't be too hard to get going properly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Task management === | ||
| + | Trac differentiates tasks from bugs throug bug-types (one can mark something as a bug, feature request, todo and so forth) | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Price/Licensing === | ||
| + | Newer Trac releases are released under a modified BSD license | ||
