Weekly Updates
Wohoo. We finally migrated all of our subversion hosted projects to mercurial. And the best part: we now have a separate trac instance for each of those projects. mod_wsgi does a great job hosting all those tracs without having to add each trac to the config separately. I will post a commented version of our mod_wsgi config in the next days, for the moment still some other things are in the pipeline.
The new developer platform of Jinja, Pygments and all the other projects is on dev.pocoo.org. Note that most tracs are still empty because we haven’t had the time to move the tickets and wiki pages over. For that we have to write a conversion script first.
The plan for the next weeks is releasing Jinja 1.2 and Werkzeug 0.1. The latter is missing some unittests. After that I want to work on pocoo to finally get a working version. TextPress itself is now in the repositories (if you don’t know what it is, just ignore it for now), guess most of use will contribute some code in the next weeks but don’t expect an release. Want to convert this blog here soon though.
Last but not least: hello planet django :)
I’ve been looking for a distributed source control solution - not because I of the distribution, but because of the improved branch / merge over svn and the ability to have local checkpoints. I was interested in Bazaar, but Trac integration is a big deal for me. How’s the Trac / hg combo?

So if you want to branch into a new repository you have to setup a second trac or just display the main repository in your trac. If you do per repository branches that of course works.
I hope the trac guys address this issue in trac 0.12. Especially now where more and more people convert away from subversion to more sophisticated solutions like hg/git/darcs/bzr. :-)
