Re: [Fab-user] OT: if you guys are looking for an issue tracker, maybe consider pitz

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Matt,

I'm aware of pitz -- actually forked it a while back, though I never
pushed any of my tweaks upstream since it didn't end up going
anywhere. I did notice you've done a decent amount of work since then
but haven't checked back in yet to see where it's at.

Has it grown a command-line tool or a Web interface (read or
read/write) yet? Aside from just being academically curious, those are
things that I would need if I ever decided to use pitz for Fabric.

However, it's probably moot; I've done a lot of work on customizing
Redmine, a Rails-based Trac-a-like, including growing Git branch
support, which was the main blocker for that tool when I last examined
it. I plan to deploy that forked version for use on Fabric sometime in
the next few weeks, once it gets pounded on a bit more by my
co-workers :)

Regardless, best of luck with pitz, I think it fills or is capable of
filling a very useful niche and hope you can continue doing good work
on it!

Best,
Jeff
