No tool is perfect, and I’m about to start several long-term projects using Trac, and wanted a heads up of the kinds of problems I may or may not experience with it. In other words, Trac meets my needs in the short term, and I’ve already made the decision to use it, but I want to know what to expect down the road.
I am not looking for:
- “Use product X instead of Trac because…” answers.
- “Trac is great because…” answers.
- A comparison to any other specific system.
- “Trac doesn’t support Feature X” answers. I can read the feature list too, thank you very much.
I am looking for:
- “Feature X does not behave as expected…”
- “Trac behaves oddly when…”
- “Trac doesn’t fully support…”
- “Trac itself has a known bug that will likely never be fixed…”
- And especially “Trac can’t handle…”
- etc
So, what Trac-induced headaches do I have to look forward to?
For future reference, this question was asked while Trac v0.11 was the latest stable release.
There is still no common view on how to handle multi projects. If this is not your case – the rest should work for you.
