Roundup Tracker

Roundup / Python Tracker enhancements

• Merge Roundup branch / fork from http://hg.python.org/tracker/roundup/ back into mainline.

• Encapsulate tracker-specific improvements into Roundup extension modules.
• Improve Rietveld integration.
• Add stand-alone patch review support to Roundup.

• Improve REST/json/ajax support. (for REST see: 2550734)

• Modularize features from tracker templates to improve customizability.

• Create a new version of the batch editor: (see: ProjectManagerBatchEditing and BatchSearchAndEditing)

  • That allows you to search to generate the list of issues to update, but also provides a checkbox for each issue allowing the user to include/exclude each issue as needed.
• Provide a mechanism to allow reverse links (i.e. links to the
  • issue being edited) to be assigned in the web and email

    interfaces. (see description on roundup-users list

• Modify permissions to make a permission that specifies a matching
  • property take precedence over a permission that doesn't specify

    a matching property See email discussion.

• Rewrite journaling to:

  • Stop it from missing updates to the database (see discussion at roundup tracker 2550731).

  • Filter properties when user does not have
    • permission to see them.
  • Enhance API to search for:
    • changes to a particular property (or properties)
    • changes in a particular time range
• Make Roles into real objects and not just text strings.
  • This will have a number of advantages including:
    • Editing roles in the user item will not have typos
    • User classhelp can query database for roles so you
      • can add a new role and have it show up in the classhelp authmatically

(In addition some of these ideas are also captured in Roundup's own tracker)
