Hello all,

Trac accomplished the step to Python-3, which is good.
I am a long term Trac user and Open-Source developer;
Trac just works and provides everything I need.

Now I'm considering how best to proceed regarding *Mastertickets*,
which was an essential feature I'm heavily relying on: I have a
huge amount of tickets with a complex DAG of relationships,
which are essential for me to manage the work.

Mastertickets has a rather bare-bones UI, which relied on
post-processing of trac's template output.
So it seems this plug-in is broken beyond repair.


What are other people using for similar requirements?


There seem to be the

  - SubTickets plugin

  - ChildTickets plugin


As far as I can see, both support a DAG structure,
i.e. one ticket can be attached below several parents.

So it looks like it might be possible to cook up a SQL migration script.


Does anyone have experience with those plugins? are they still in use?
Both seem to have recent changes in the history. Are they ported to
python-3 and do they work with the new template engine, going forward?

Ideally I'd want to avoid putting much work into a migration
just to find out some time ahead that no one else is using
the plug-in and that it's unmaintained.

I do not have special requirements for the ticket workflow or for
reporting, yet I'd appreciate if a new solution performs a
dependency cycle check; mastertickets did that, and that was
quite helpful at times.
