Add support for CVS

[guillaume.tardif@…]

As part of the VersioningSystemBackend changes, I think CVS should be part of the supported version control systems. Even if it is possible to use CVSTrac instead of Trac, this should not be a reason for not providing a Trac intergration with CVS.

CVSTrac doesn't provide all the functionnality (Roadmap for instance) and Trac is so nice it's a pain to move to any other tool for the same functionality. Trac would certainly gain a lot of audience if it had a CVS integration. I started to use Trac with Subversion, and I know work on another project where CVS is used, and moving to Subversion is not an option (at least not right now) ; we just have to live with this... and a Trac-CVS integration would make it easier.

CVS support would be great! I like Trac very much but don't want to use Subversion, mainly because of its poor (not of a production quality) Eclipse integration and lack of some automanaged fields that I need. I was thinking about Trac + CVSTrac mixing, but it's not a handy solution.

P.S. Thank you for your hard work.

We are currently looking for a combined wiki+bug tracker, we already have webcvs installed. Now I found Trac and it would be great if it would support cvs too. I had a look at CVSTrac, but Trac seems to be much nicer.

dito. cvs support would be really nice.

CVS Support would help us out - primarily because we have existing source repositories we are not interesting in moving over the SVN. Also the plugins for Eclipse and netbeans are weak.

Any progress on this? I am sure that the seven people using Darcs/Bazaar/whatever are quite happy being supported by Trac, but how about the millions of real developers working on actual projects in CVS who have no option of switching the whole repository infrastructure just to use Trac?

Strange that among the seven developers using Darcs/Bazaar/whatevercurial you can find 4 developers willing to spend their time developing a plugin for Trac, and that among the millions of real ones, there's no one ;)

Ok, to be fair, CVS is there since a long time, and you already have a lot of effective supporting tools for it (CvsTrac, ViewCvs?, FishEye?, ...), so the incentive to support Trac is certainly less important...

Besides, I'm now closing this ticket as wontfix, as it's really not likely that a TracCvs? plugin will be developed by the Trac developers. You can eventually request-a-hack for this, on the TracHacks community site.

In any case, if such a plugin gets ever written, one can still update that ticket to mention it.

well. two years later, it sill makes sense to me to have CVS on trac.
