Sounds good - I haven't heard of Capistrano before, I'll have to take a look.

I've used http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ in the past (but that
was in a Java coding environment rathre than Flash) for continuous
integration, but haven't tried applying that to Flash yet (I think
we'd need to make the switch to using mtasc or the Flex compiler;
which we aren't prepared to do immediately).

TestTrack Pro is great if you're Windows-centric and willing to spend  
some money.


http://www.seapine.com/ttpro.html

In addition to web access, there's a Windows desktop client, and a  
simplified version you can give to clients to report bugs/etc.


ActiveCollab looks cool too, but is still very early in development.

Hey guys, thank you all for the replies, it really helped me on deciding
which one to choose.

After some research, I've found trac to be the one with most advantages.

Before closing the thread, I would like to ask a few question about trac
and flash projects:
* How do you handle projects that consists of a client (flash) and a server
written in another language? A trac enviroment for both of them?
* About the syntax highliting, is there support for AS2/AS3?

Hi Steven,

Mantis seems to be a good alternative to Trac. It seems to have all the
features trac has plus a bunch more and still is simple and effective. I'm
having problems installing mod_pythin on my cpanel enabled server so I'm
considering other tool to use, and Mantis is certainly attractive :)

No - we use the same environment for both, and Ant build scripts to
install the appropriately built code to the server/client. Or
sometimes directly SVN update into the appropriate working directory
on the server, depending on the complexity of the project.

Personally I think it'd be crazy to seperate the front-end and
back-end code into different repositories - it's the same project, you
want to be able to version track/bugfix the same project (is that bug
in the front end or back end?) and, importantly, you want to be able
to branch and tag the same project.

Don't know, I'm afraid.

But the file manager is pretty simple and doesn't support SVN.
I think you need something like a mix of Streber+Track SVN. That's could be

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool

2006-11-29 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Chris,
 It entirely depends on the project. There's an optional FTP task
(requires some extra libs) that comes with Ant which we use for simple
file uploads. Off the top of my head, we've used combinations of:

- hand-written calls to SVN (i.e. using the exec task) to update and to tag
- writing/reading of .properties files (to maintain build numbers
etc.) using the property task
- the optional FTP task
- the Zip task for creating single-file packages (to, for example,
send a server install/distribution to a client)
- integration with NSIS (more exec tasks) to build Windows installers
(for Flash projectors)
- even, sometimes, simple copies across Windows/Samba fileshares for deployment

In the past we've written our own extensions to Ant to make some of
the tasks much simpler in Ant syntax; but over time (as Ant has
developed) we moved away from that.

At the place I worked four or five years ago we had a lot more
integration on the server side; e.g. you checked in your shared
classes and a hook (in CVS, in those days) fired off a server-side
test suite and a rebuild of the API documentation based on those
classes; but we've not had a need (yet!) for that here.

Cheers.
  Ian

Hi Marcelo,
 We use trac/wvn for all our projects and it works very well for us;
and it does support simple user/password authentication.

The only downside is that trac is designed to host only one project -
multiple projects mean multiple databases (if you want to seperate
tickets etc.) and there's no reporting across the multiple databases.
To get around this we've written a very simple front-end which
collates all the 'outstanding tickets' RSS info into one web page, so
each developer can see what's on his ToDo list. :-) It's working very
well.

Better thinking (and after taking a deep look into Streber's website),
Streber's seems to be good. I'll take a better look into it later. The good

No, it's just a couple of command-line statements. I'm not complaining
about the time taken to set up the multiple projects; just that you
can't get reporting across multiple projects without hacking it in

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool

2006-11-28 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Marcelo,
 SVN handles binary data in the same way as most versioning systems
i.e. not very well. (although better than CVS).

 The trouble is that SVN has no built-in knowledge of what a binary
file (such as a fla) _is_, or how to compare it to previous versions;
it only knows that the file has changed, but doesn't know what has
changed (to do so would mean including a complete .fla parser in the
SVN code).

 On the flip side, we've had no problems with SVN and .fla files - we
just use it to store them as we would any other binary asset. As long
as your project files are organised sensibly and you store the bulk of
your code as external .as files, you should be fine.

 As an aside, later versions of TortoiseSVN (which we use for keeping
things in sync on our local machines) have diff views for some types
of images, which is neat.

 The trac interface will give you previews of .jpg files and the
like, but won't do so for .flas or .swfs.

 It sounds like we're doing similar sorts of projects to you, tho',
with some flas being used for layouts and assets, and we've coped fine
using trac without having to do any special workarounds for binaries.

 HTH,
   Ian

tickets. However, let's say that I wouldn't like clients to see any code on
the svn. Is this level of granularity possible on trac?

Hi Marcelo,
  SVN handles binary data in the same way as most versioning systems
i.e. not very well. (although better than CVS).

  The trouble is that SVN has no built-in knowledge of what a binary
file (such as a fla) _is_, or how to compare it to previous versions;
it only knows that the file has changed, but doesn't know what has
changed (to do so would mean including a complete .fla parser in the
SVN code).

  On the flip side, we've had no problems with SVN and .fla files - we
just use it to store them as we would any other binary asset. As long
as your project files are organised sensibly and you store the bulk of
your code as external .as files, you should be fine.

  As an aside, later versions of TortoiseSVN (which we use for keeping
things in sync on our local machines) have diff views for some types
of images, which is neat.

  The trac interface will give you previews of .jpg files and the
like, but won't do so for .flas or .swfs.

  It sounds like we're doing similar sorts of projects to you, tho',
with some flas being used for layouts and assets, and we've coped fine
using trac without having to do any special workarounds for binaries.

  HTH,
Ian

 Ian, I wonder how trac handles binary files with its SVN interface. I
ask
 this becouse we still use lots of FLA on our projects, of course, only
for
 layout and graphic assets.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool

2006-11-28 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Marcelo,
 To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. :-) Sorry!

 However, at the worst, trac uses web-based forms. There's nothing to
stop you writing a custom front end for your client that then posts
appropriate data to Trac.

 I'd suggest you just download it and have a play with the options;
it's a very straightforward install.

Cheers,
 Ian

Oh - I should also point out that there are a bunch of plugins

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool

2006-11-28 Thread Chris Hill

Sorry, just saw this post, hope i'm not being redundant or too OT.

We use trac, but we don't use it with clients, only internally. We could 
potentially allow client access, but our custom-built system doesn't 
have much in the way of access control.


Checking out the permissions page in my WebAdmin plugin, trac has the 
following priveleges you can grant deny on a per user/group basis:


view/create/modify/grant/delete/admin/etc. (depends on item)

on

milestone/report/ticket/trac/wiki/log/file/etc.

And we love Trac and Subversion. Definitely worth every penny ;)
Peace

I apologize, but I said grant / deny, but you can only grant privileges 
in Trac.

If you're looking for bug/feature tracking for your clients, check out
Mantis.  It's easy to set up, customize (if you know php), and best of
all, it's free.

Hi Steven,

Mantis seems to be a good alternative to Trac. It seems to have all the
features trac has plus a bunch more and still is simple and effective. I'm
having problems installing mod_pythin on my cpanel enabled server so I'm
considering other tool to use, and Mantis is certainly attractive :)

Marcelo.
