TracPastePlugin: Implement TagsPlugin support

[lkraav]

would be nice to be able to tag pastes right? opinions welcome.

I'll be finishing up implementation of this in the next day or so and will be requesting some feedback on the patch.

I received an email with:

Comment (by lkraav):

Awesome news. Will you be basing this on top of 0.12 or 1.0?

but the comment seems to have disappeared. I'll answer anyways ;)

I'm developing again 0.11 and when I think the code is ready I test against 0.13dev (i.e. 1.0dev).

Yeah, I didn't notice your initial reply was for this particular feature, not the main tracker ticket I was looking at yesterday. So I didn't think my comment made much sense here :> but I guess know we know.

My main concern is the significantly changed DB API for 1.0.

I'm not familiar with the changed API ... I'll have to look into that. And I certainly appreciate code review after I get the feature finished ;)

I've tracked that particular development over the last months. While this is the biggest outside-facing change on the API level for Trac 0.13 aka 1.0 indeed, there is still not much to fear for plugins, since the 0.11 db API is still available. But most probably it will not survive another release cycle.

I plan to create a dedicated 1.0 branch for plugins that I maintain. Switching to the new API is not complicated, but you'll push minimum requirements up to Python2.5 due to use of the ‘with‘ statement, what is not feasible for some of the existing Trac 0.11 installations. So I do - similarly to Ryan - develop at 0.11 and upgrade to 1.0 later.

I'm not familiar with the changed API ... I'll have to look into that. And I certainly appreciate code review after I get the feature finished ;)

Will do a review too, especially appreciate another !ITagProvider implementation. Make sure to drop a hint in the TagsPlugin wiki docs, or I'll do so.

Ticket #7204 may be related to the DB API change.

Well, I'm sure, this IS the case.

I'm using TracPastePlugin in production with Trac 1.0 and would love to be able to tag pastes -- I'd be happy to test this feature if a patch is available.

Note, that TagsPlugin works now with the new Trac db cursor behavior too [12069]. A dedicated branch for implementing the new Trac API will not happen before tags-0.7, the next stable plugin release.
