Questions tagged [trac]

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.

Trac is an open source, web-based project management and bug-tracking tool. The program is inspired by CVSTrac, and was originally named svntrac due to its ability to interface with Subversion. It is developed and maintained by Edgewall Software.

Trac is written in Python. Until mid-2005, it was available under the GNU General Public License; since version 0.9, it has been released under a modified BSD license. Both are free software licenses.

Mission: to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established development process and policies.

It provides an interface to Subversion (or other version control systems), an integrated Wiki and convenient reporting facilities.

Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all current and past project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy. The roadmap shows the road ahead, listing the upcoming milestones.

Disable Trac wiki links

When using Trac it always highlights class names as a reference to a wiki page like this: MyClass? How could I disable this? It makes ticket text unreadable.

How do I export Trac tickets to MS Excel including the ticket description, with formatting?

I need to be able to export Trac tickets from a report or custom query to Excel, including the ticket description. The catch is that the description must be formatted as defined by the wiki syntax rather than displaying the raw text.
