[Python-apps-team] Bug#563391: Package Trac 0.12 as well

Package: trac
Version: 0.11.6-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: help

Currently Trac 0.12 is under development and might be ready
soon, i.e. before Debian freezes 6.0/Squeeze. This version
will have important features, such as multi-lingual UI and
accessing multiple repositories inside of one Trac project.

There are some options how to deal with this:

  1. Stay with Trac 0.11 only. Trac 0.11 is well-tested,
     many plugins might only work with this version. But:
     No (official) Trac 0.12 package for Squeeze!

  2. Update to Trac 0.12 before freeze. This might break
     a lot of locally installed plugins, maybe even the
     Debian packages. IMHO a little bit dangerous.

  3. Package Trac 0.12 in addition to Trac 0.11. This is,
     of course, more work, as both packages must be
     maintained for one Debian release cycle.

     a) Easier: Let 0.11 and 0.12 conflict.

     b) More work: Allow 0.11 and 0.12 side-by-side.

     It is not yet clear to me, wether Debian packaged
     Trac plugins will have to be duplicated or will work
     with both versions etc.

Help wanted.
