TracMasterTickets 3.0.1

Adds basic ticket dependencies for Trac.<br /><br />Note: MasterTickets 3.0 requires Trac 0.12 or higher.<br /><br />What is it?<br />-----------<br />This plugin adds "blocks" and "blocked by" fields to each ticket, enabling you<br />to express dependencies between tickets. It also provides a graphviz-based<br />dependency-graph feature for those tickets having dependencies specified,<br />allowing you to visually understand the dependency tree. The dependency graph<br />is viewable by clicking 'depgraph' in the context (in the upper right corner)<br />menu when viewing a ticket that blocks or is blocked by another ticket.<br /><br />What is it not?<br />---------------<br />* It does not provide ticket-hiding for sub-tasks of a top-level ticket.<br /><br /> * There is no orthogonal parent/child relationship possible<br /><br /> * You cannot view the descriptions of tickets depending on the current<br /> ticket<br /><br /> * In fact, there are no explicit features that can assist you with sub-task<br /> management<br /><br /> * Although it would be cool.<br /><br />* It does not allow you to create a dependent ticket from the current ticket<br /><br />* It does not include reporting features to show how tasks are interrelated<br /> (other than the dependency graph already described above).<br /><br />Configuration<br />=============<br />To use this plugin you must configure two custom fields named ``blocking``<br />and ``blocked_by``.<br /><br />All other configuration options go in the ``[mastertickets]`` section.<br /><br />``dot_path`` : *optional, default: dot*<br /> Path to the dot executable. This is only used for the dependency graph.<br /><br />``use_gs`` : *optional, default: False*<br /> If enabled, use ghostscript to produce a nicer dependency graph.<br /><br />``gs_path`` : *optional, default: gs*<br /> Path to the ghostscript executable.<br /><br />To enable the plugin::<br /><br /> [components]<br /> mastertickets.* = enabled<br /><br /> [ticket-custom]<br /> blocking = text<br /> blocking.label = Blocking<br /> blockedby = text<br /> blockedby.label = Blocked By<br /><br />Custom fields<br />-------------<br />While the two field names must be ``blocking`` and ``blocked_by``, you are<br />free to use any text for the field labels.<br /><br />Example<br />=======<br /><br />To use a locally-built graphviz::<br /><br /> [mastertickets]<br /> dot_path = /usr/local/bin/dot<br /><br /> [components]<br /> mastertickets.* = enabled<br /><br /> [ticket-custom]<br /> blocking = text<br /> blocking.label = Blocking<br /> blockedby = text<br /> blockedby.label = Blocked By<br /><br /><br />#md5=d742a7355a815a64eedb4996d4c5cefe<br /><br />#md5=cd8b194722ff0d0c5d28c54204a7c185
