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>

We will discuss Ubuntu and Debian in the following section.

Ubuntu and Debian

Things are much easier under Ubuntu and Debian. To install Subversion simply use the following instructions.

Client

To install Subversion on your client, use the following command from the console:

$ sudo apt-get install subversion

Answer yes when are asked to confirm the action, and that is it!

Server

Installing the server components under Linux is significantly easier than on Microsoft Windows. Use the following command from the console:

$ sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn

Again answer yes when prompted. This will automatically install Subversion, Apache, and the Apache Subversion module for us all in one go.
