Following another discussion about Bugtracking and SCM.
As the decission is to move away from savannah we need to find another way
to keep track of bugs (not that savannah was heavily used for that) and
keeping our software repositories. The discussion has been up before,
which software to use for this. Afaic there's only one alternative for
SCM: SVN. There is probably those that think different and please speak up
if so.
For bugtracking I see two alternatives: Mantis or Trac.
Mantis is a bugtracker only, but is more capable from start then Trac.
Trac otoh has more features to group collaboration, such as timeline and
roadmap. As for Wiki, we have our own. Both can be integrated with SVN,
Trac has it from start, Mantis with a little bit of configuration. What
this means is that one can add tags, i.e. "issue #123", in the message
when one checks in code to the SVN repository to have the log message to
show up as a note in bug #123 in the bugtracker. I think it's even
possible to close bugs using such tags.
Anyhow, before making a decission one should have some experience with the
two, so I have set up an installation of each at my server. There's also a
SVN repository from a dump of the tools I made a couple of months ago.
Addresses are:
http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobolinux/mantis
http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobolinux/trac
http://karlsson.sytes.net/svn/gobolinux
You have to guess which address leads to which tool by touself ;)
Sign up for an account and have a look around. The admin username/password
for the bugtrackers are: gobo/gobo&fibo
There's one issue with the login on Trac and that is that one cannot log
out. To log out one has to clear the session cookies or alternativly close
the webbrowser window.
Any technical questions or issues can be sent to me directly.
