I'm just a simple user / lurker at the moment (though I'm hopeful to be a contributor someday), but if Boost is moving to subversion would moving to Trac make sense?
IMO Yes.
I am currently running several Tracs. I love the integration of the wiki with the bug tracking system and SVN. I have set up an SVN post-commit hook (http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/trac-post-commit-hook) that lets you resolve and update tickets by writing things like
Changed blah and foo to do this or that. Fixes #10 and #12, and refs #12.
In subversion commit messages, which will close tickets #10 and #12, and add the commit message as a note to #12.
If we had this kind of integration, maybe our bug trackers would get more attention than they do currently.
GCC has this kind of integration with their patch manager, patches list, Subversion repository, and Bugzilla. It works *wonderfully*, because you can look up a bug in Bugzilla and get a link to the patch that fixes it, very easily. Cheers, Doug
