Would anyone care for a Gedit plugin?
With some time to kill before our big v0.13 release, I wanted to see what it would be like to create a RabbitVCS plugin for Gedit. It turns out, it actually isn’t too terribly hard. In fact, all I needed to do was implement the Gedit plugin parts and write a new class to generate menus that work with Gedit. Currently, the plugin has the narrow focus of providing menu items for RabbitVCS actions, but in the future it could be expanded to providing a sidebar panel, or more.
Here is a quick demo video showing RabbitVCS-on-Gedit in action!
If you’re interested in running the Gedit plugin, you’ll need to be running up-to-date code from our SVN repository. The Gedit bits are here. If you’d like to wait for a release, it will be available for the beta release (coming next week).
I’d love it if someone would like to take over this plugin and really make it something special, as I really just wanted to get the ball rolling and show that it is possible to take RabbitVCS outside of the file manager domain. If you’re interested in contributing to or even taking over development for the Gedit plugin, send an email to our developer’s mailing list.
Very nice :D
nice! great work
I use both for work, so yes, I’d love to see a plugin for gEdit :)
Very nice. What I’d love to see is a file browser plugin for gEdit that incorporates RabbitVCS. That would be awesome.
:( Not working in my lucid 64bit
Theres seems to be an issue with the ppa.
Try the manual installation
http://rabbitvcs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/gedit/
Read the read me. Also I found it doesnt seem to work for all users so install in ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins instead.
Good Morning, in my ubuntu 12.04 Alpha, doesn’t work, I have Gedit 3.3.3 and this package installed “rabbitvcs-gedit”

Indeed – had to install it into ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins for this plugin to become visible. Looks fine now, thanks.
I had same problem. The plugin was not visible and it was installed in “/usr/share/gedit/plugins”, but I think the correct folder is “/usr/lib/gedit/plugins”, because moving the two files helped me.
sudo mv /usr/share/gedit/plugins/rabbitvcs-* /usr/lib/gedit/plugins
Anyway, good job! RabbitVCS is great!
