Provide magic $NOW value to reports

[fumanchu@…]

I've added the $NOW magic variable to my reports:

# inside trac/ticket/report.py

        if not report_args.has_key('USER'):
            report_args['USER'] = req.authname
+         if not report_args.has_key('NOW'):
+             report_args['NOW'] = str(int(time.time()))

It's nice when making reports that show how long tickets have been open, using ($NOW - ticket.time) / 3600 to show hours.

Sorry, should have been an enhancement.

Date computations compared to the current time can already be done with the database's built-in date and time methods. For SQLite see ​http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=DateAndTimeFunctions

So for example to get the number of days a ticket has been open:

select julianday('now') - julianday(time, 'unixepoch') from ticket
