Trac 0.11 Looking Good

Posted by santosj on March 14, 2007

I think I am going to try to use Trac again when version 0.11 comes out. I already planned to pass over 0.10 and by the time 0.11 comes out, it should support MySQL well enough to have a live site using it. It should also be very easy to install since some of the more difficult packages that are required have been removed.

I’m still kind of planning on building my own tracker package for DragonU.net and AbsidonGames.com site. It should look a lot like Trac, but I will still like to use it for other projects that need its support. Also, I’ll need something in the mean time while I develop my own solution. Well, the only reason to develop my own is that Trac is somewhat unreliable, but hopefully that will change (and it will be easier to change the template) when this version comes out.

I kind of do plan on learning Python, so it would be nice to tear Trac apart to better learn Python also. Kind of hack together plugins and try to implement features that haven’t been already. Well, by that time, Trac will probably be out.

Still think Trac 0.11 is about two months away to say the least. Bug reports don’t say much when it is still in alpha. Trac 0.10 is stablizing quite well, so by which time Trac does reach the final 1.0 release, it will be stable and full featured product. Something to put Python the map and make people want Python support.

Also think that with the easier install, it won’t be that difficult for Dreamhost to have a one click or at least support it.
