Hi all,

I am currently looking for a open source good bug tracking and requirement
tracking tool.
I would like to run it on an Apache Webserver and with a PostgreSQL
database. If possible, it should have an interface to SubVersion.

I have two tools, which I will have a closer look at:

Request Tracker: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/
TRAC: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac

Does anyone have experiences with these tools or even knows a better one?

Thanks and Regards,
Martin

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/bugtracking.html

I have used Jira which I made some comments on. Look for free trials
or free altogether. Nothing beats an hour playing to see just what
they are like. To complicated will make your team rebel and find all
kinds of excuses not to use it. They can be terribly attractive to
the Nazi master of the universe mentality who wants to know every time
anyone on the project took a breath.

Just because you can is not sufficient reason to do something.

Hi Roedy,

thanks a lot for the interesting link.
Jira looks very promising. I will have a closer look at it.

Best Regards,
