It is suitable for other projects. It is used by bzr-gtk already, and I'm not
sure where else.

|  2. If it's not being used elsewhere, is it suitable to be used
| elsewhere, or is it written specifically for the bzr project only?
|  3. Is it capable of dealing with more than one project (repository) at
| once? For example, if our system comprise of several separate codebases,
| each in their own shared repository (with multiple branches), can the
| one BB installation deal with that?

BB only tracks patches to be merged. I believe it has to be set up as 1 queue
per destination branch.

|  4. Can it handle requests to merge to multiple branches within the same
| repository?

AFAIK it is currently 1 project per instance, for a given mailing list.

It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to expand it to match based on project. So
you could do "[project:MERGE]" instead of just [MERGE].

Ideally, I suppose it could try to figure out the merge destination based on
target. But BB also tracks plain patches, and that is much harder to determine
the intended target.


|  5. Has anyone considered writing a Trac plugin that integrates BB into
| trac? If not does anyone foresee any problems with such a project? It
| would be nice to have everything under 'one roof'.

I don't know of such a project, and I don't really use Trac, so I'm not sure how
it would fit in.

|
| Apologies if these questions are answered elsewhere: I couldn't find
| them, and I don't have time to experiment (play!) right now. :(
|
| Thanks!
