Description
Apache Bloodhound is a software development collaboration tool, including issue tracking, wiki and repository browsing (see: http://bloodhound.apache.org). Bloodhound extends Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) with multiple product support, advanced search functionality, ticket relations, a simpler installer and sleeker user interface. Apache Bloodhound recently graduated from the Apache Incubator as a stand-alone Apache project.
Problem:
One drawback inherited from Trac is that it cannot track changes in a Subversion repository that it does not have local access to ("local" meaning that the Subversion repository has to reside on a volume accessible to the Bloodhound server).
Proposed solution:
In its next release, Apache Subversion will include a publish/subscribe framework called svnpubsub, which is intended to solve this kind of problem; see http://s.apache.org/svnpubsubrepo .
The goal of this task is to integrate svnpubsub into Apache Bloodhound so that it can act as a svnpubsub client, allowing it to receive change notifications from remote Subversion repositories.
Skills needed:
Both Bloodhound (and Trac) and svnpubsub are written in Python, so a moderate dose of Python programing skills are required.
