The idea behind this project started with an internal web based working time tracking software I wrote for our company (Inhouse-Web became the Open Source spinoff project for this idea). We needed a mechanism to synchronize Trac issues automatically, and provide an autocompletion feature for issue based worktime bookings. As issue data is always based upon more or less similar information, I thought of building a separate application, that can easily beplugged into a Django based web application to aggregate different issue tracking systems into one database.

Andi Albrecht wrote the first Trac methods, which are the base for the synchronisation plugin used in django-issue-synchronisation.

• Supports issue aggregation for various issue tracking systems.
• Provides an universal table structure for issue data.
• Commandline actions for synchronizing the issue tracking systems.
• Admin backend to administrate the trackers and issues.
• Signals for pre and post actions.

1. Get the code:

   $ pip install django-issue-synchronisation
   $ easy_install django-issue-synchronisation

   or for the latest development version:

   $ git clone git://github.com/hkage/django-issue-synchronisation.git

2. Add issues to the list of `INSTALLED_APPS`:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # ...,
       'issues'
   )

3. Run:

   $ python manage.py syncdb

   to create the needed tables.

Maximum timeout duration of any socket operations in seconds. Default is 10.

If you plugged in django-issue-synchronisation into your Django application, it will provide some new commands to the manage.py script. The most important of them is the sync_issues command:

$ python manage.py sync_issues

This will synchronise all issues trackers, that are defined in the tracker table. If you want to synchronise only certain trackers, you can use their internal ids:

$ python manage.py sync_issues 1 2
