Discovering CVS

Posted in News at 4:44 pm by Chris

Well, it’s taken me quite a while to get around to this, for all that I’ve known I needed something to keep track of revisions and versions and all the rest of it. So here it is! :) I’ve now delved into using a program known as Trac. It hasn’t made it to version 1.0 just yet, but they are implementing a number of features to their core which make this an ideal project management utility.

Currently, Trac works with Subversion as a repository (though I think you could probably get away with using just about whatever repository you’d like), and it gives you a great ticketing & milestone system for tracking the bugs and general progress of your project.

In addition to the ticketing system though, you’ve also got the Timeline, which comes in handy for sorting through your revisions, and a Wiki (great for those project-specific documents / help files).

In all, I’m rather fond of this software. As I say, it took me a little while to get it installed and set up, but now that I’ve got the hang of it, I’m glad that I got it figured out.

For your reference, here’s their site: The Trac Project
