PHP Alternative To Trac
Anyone know if there's a F/OSS project that we can download that's like a Trac knockoff? It would be great if written in PHP and with hooks into Subversion. It's just that we're seeing very poor performance with Trac. I'm thinking we'll definitely run faster if we can switch off https but yet enforce some kind of authentication across the Internet. We don't really need encrypted https traffic to/from the server -- just require authentication.

Someone should really get on this. It is a real shame there is no serious PHP issue-tracking system

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
I looked high and dry and the one-for-all issue tracker.. and it simply doesn't exist. We've since opt'ed to develop our own.. and I believe thats what many companies have done.pytrin wrote:Someone should really get on this. It is a real shame there is no serious PHP issue-tracking system

At my dayjob we use Mantis with a couple of inhouse hacks (minor stuff on formatting, the code is hideous to modify heavily) and a svn hook to enter issue numbers on commit, and put the commit summary as a note in the corresponding issues.

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
I spoke to the sysop and he managed to get Trac to run faster by upgrading the Python, upgrading the driver for pysqlite, implementing Apache page compression, implementing some kind of cache, and having us turn off SSLv3, using only SSLv2. It's somewhat faster, but still slow in my opinion. Still, it's now much more usable than it was before -- I can actually get some work done in it now.

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
What are features you are looking for?
Bug trackers might integrate with subversion, but an issue tracker is more generic IMHO and not just for tracking issues with source code.
Arctic (Google it) is a nice, simple issue tracker. Closed source but they offer a free version.

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
Arctic looks great from a developer's perspective. It's be nice if clients could submit issues through it though ... but it's way too complicated for them. It's a problem that affects all tracking software in my opinion. Consequently we wrote our own little system that allows us to track things but also has a simple front end that clients can use to submit problems they find.
Not that they actually do.. they still phone up instead. Stupid clients.

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
Nope. There's AC (ActiveCollab), and it's very suitable for me, but it's very expensive. There's Actic and Project Pier free downloads, but they have issues or just look garish.
Some people have found out about a Ruby app called ClockingIT that has a free download (click the Wiki link), but it requires that you have a shared hosting plan that supports Ruby. Grrr...

One of these days, when I have some miracle happen and enough time, I'm going to build one.

Re: PHP Alternative To Trac
You might want to check out yammer.com. In sort of a kludged way, you can use the free online service to manage your projects with private workspaces. It lacks some features, though.

You can use it online, I dont think it has to be downloaded?volomike wrote:Some people have found out about a Ruby app called ClockingIT that has a free download (click the Wiki link), but it requires that you have a shared hosting plan that supports Ruby. Grrr...
Sounds like a good plan to me. In a few months or so when I clear what I am currently working on, I'm up for getting involved.volomike wrote:One of these days, when I have some miracle happen and enough time, I'm going to build one.

Irrational for sure. Machines are much better at listening and logging such requests.Jenk wrote:Stupid? Or just wanting to tell a person about their problem and not a machine?onion2k wrote:Stupid clients.
