How Do Retracting Dog Leashes Work

Next generation package management agent in Linux

This is actually a project on the Trac "helpWanted" List. The description there:

Hi,
Being a S/W development project manager I'd love to see graphical statistics (bar/pie charts) on various things such as:


Number of issues at various stages of completion in different file/modules
  • Trend graphs on number of new bugs vs fixed ones over the last day, week, month...
  • Number of bugs assigned to the various project developers
  • Number of subversion commits per file/module (file/module vs other files/modules or for one particular file/module over its historical time span etc) - etc, etc!
  • There are loads of interesting statistical information that could be visualized graphically very nicely!

This is the answer of the Trac core team:


There are some simple charts for the milestones where you can see open/closed tickets grouped by different attributes, including owner.
I think there's a use for this information in Trac, though I'd suggest experimenting with it in a plugin first. I don't think this is going to be a high priority for the Trac core at this time, but if someone puts some concrete implementations into a plugin we could look at if/how this would integrate with the core.
