There is support for darcs in tracs as well. I never got around to writing a blog post about setting up darcs+trac+lighttpd on Debian and by now I fear I've forgotten how I did it... I remember it being remarkably easy though.

I was playing with it in the past, but it's 3rd party, ie. Trac does not have official support.

Yes, that's true. It seemed very good at the time though and it integrated well with trac. Personally I don't see the 3rd-party state as an issue.

otoh, Redmine has it out-of-the-box and, even more important, Redmine has support for multiple projects (I know a person who plans to configure SF-like service based on Redmine) which is scheduled for Trac-1.0, but considering how long we are waiting for trac-0.11, who know when it will happen...

It being implemented in Ruby-on-Rails, which I've /read/ has bad scaling properties, could be a problem. I'm also not convinced support for multiple projects is an important feature. It could even pose a problem in the future since, depending on how it's done underneath, it could make migrating a single project off the site more difficult than tarring up a directory and copy it to its new home. I'm somewhat sad to learn trac might be going in that direction. On the other hand Redmine does look cleaner somehow and I've never seen a trac site that is as easy to find my way around as www.redmine.org. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus
