Managing Software Development with Trac and Subversion

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>

Linux


Installing Trac under Linux requires us to carry out the same two steps as for Microsoft Windows—installing the dependencies, and installing Trac itself.

Ubuntu and Debian

Installing the Dependencies

These can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install python2.4-pysqlite2 python2.4-subversion python-clearsilver

Installing Trac

  1. 1. Download Trac with: wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/trac-0.10.4.tar.gz

  2. 2. Extract the files with: tar -xzf trac-0.10.4.tar.gz

  3. 3. Change into the extracted folder with: cd trac-0.10.4

  4. 4. Run the installation with: sudo python setup.py install
