Question

I've used Trac/Subversion before and really like the integration. My current project is using Mercurial for distributed development and it'd be nice to be able to track issues/bugs and have this be integrated with Mercurial. I realized this could be tricky with the nature of DVCS.

Was it helpful?

Solution

TracMercurial integrates Trac with Mercurial. Assembla provides free Mercurial hosting with Trac integration.

The idea is that you have a central repository as your master and upload all the subsidiary changes from local repositories into the main one.

OTHER TIPS

I'd also like to add Redmine to the list. I started with Trac, but I found the mercurial support (and the administrative interface for everything) to be much better in Redmine.

FogBugz has tight integration with Mercurial through their Kiln product.

BugTracker.NET now supports Mercurial integration in the same way it supports Subversion and git. BugTracker.NET is a free, open source, ASP.NET bug tracking system.

Other free, open source bug trackers that support Mercurial:

There is also a plugin to integrate Mercurial with Jira. See the webpage for the plugin.

Mantis has a beta integration for Mercurial: blog-post and code.

Bugs Everywhere is a distributed bugtracking system that supports Mercurial.

Jira integrates using a plugin. Its a great tool.

I just put together a command-line bug tracker called b for Mercurial which, although it's not as powerful as Trac and the like, is exactly what a lot of situations call for. It's best feature is how easy it is to set up - install the Mercurial extension, and all your repos have a bug tracker at their disposal. I find this incredibly useful on smaller projects that I can't/don't want to set up with a fully fledged tracker living on a server somewhere, just hg b and go.

There's a BugzillaExtension for adding a comment to a Bugzilla bug each time you mention its number.

I recently developed a Trac plugin that integrates some Mercurial functionality that TracMercurial Plugin doesn't support yet, it's called TracMercurialChangesetPlugin. It allows you to search in your changesets, to have the cache synced, to view a changelog in your related tickets...

If you're open to another suggestion, you can try Artemis.

Though I haven't used it yet, it looks easy enough.
