Managing Software Development with Trac and Subversion

By: David J Murphy

Overview of this book

<p><br />Trac is a minimalistic open-source enhanced wiki and bug/issue tracking system for software development projects, designed to help developers while staying out of the way and provides an interface to Subversion. Subversion is an open-source version control system that addresses many of the perceived deficiencies of CVS and can use WebDAV for network communications, and the Apache web server to provide repository-side network service.<br /><br />This book presents a simple set of processes and practices that allow you to manage these projects using open-source software without getting in the way by imposing as little as possible on established development practices and policies.<br /><br />This book looks at what is needed to manage software development projects, how web-based software project management system Trac and open-source revision control system Subversion meet these needs, and how to install, configure, and use them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.packtpub.com/article/managing-software-development-with-trac-and-subversion-table-of-contents"><br /></a></p>

How It All Fits Together


We have our four parts—Trac, Subversion, Apache, and WebDAV. So how do they fit together?

Although we have four parts, we only end up with a two-tiered system. We will be using Apache to provide access and authentication to Trac, Subversion, and WebDAV. This relationship can be seen in the following figure.

Since all these components are linked and we depend on Apache to access them, we are going to use a single machine to host them all. This will become our server—the hub of our development process.
