What is Trac?
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.
Trac provides an interface to version control systems, such as Subversion and Git, an integrated Wiki and convenient reporting facilities.
Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all current and past project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy. The roadmap shows the road ahead, listing the upcoming project milestones.
How do You Use Trac?
Wiki
Trac has a built-in wiki system which you can use for organizing knowledge and information in a very flexible way by creating pages containing an intuitive and easy to learn textual markup. This text markup is also used in all other parts of the system, so not only in wiki pages, but also in ticket description and comments, check-in log messages, milestone descriptions and report descriptions, even in third-party extensions. It allows for formatted text and hyperlinks in and between all Trac modules.
The usage of the Wiki by the Fedora Project groups largely centers around providing an overview of the ticketing system, where to get help via mailing list or IRC, and information on filing bug reports.
Timeline
Trac's timeline feature provides a historic view of the project in a single report.
It lists all Trac events that have occurred in chronological order, a brief description of each event and if applicable, the person responsible for the change.
The timeline lists these kinds of events:
- Wiki page events — Creation and changes
- Ticket events — Creation and resolution/closing and optionally other changes
- Source code changes — Repository check-ins
- Milestone — Milestone completed
