We have a Suse 10.1 file server at work using Samba. ( it was formally Redhad, but Suse is much easier to administer). It is present having Subversion installed on it and will have a postgress database for a partws database on it (prently using postgres locally for the database).

One new requirement we need to fullfill is a defect entry program where we can enter hardware and/or software defects for record so they do not get lost and can be corrected. I have looked at MrProject before about two yearss ago, but it is very difficult to use and was not ready for prime time. I was thing of maybe using Drupal for something like this.

Does anyone have any experience or wise advise on such a system using Apache server and webbrowser clients? Any input would be much appreciated.

You can use general-purpose bugtracker/ticket systems for that. There are a few out there: - - Bugzilla: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/ - - Mantis: http://www.mantisbt.org/ - - Eventum: http://eventum.mysql.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - - Flyspray: http://flyspray.rocks.cc/ - - Roundup: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ - - Trac: http://trac.edgewall.org/ - - JTrac: http://jtrac.info/ And there's also JIRA. It's commercial (free for opensource projects) but it's really, really good, not very expensive and the support is great: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/ cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFwYOUr3NMWliFcXcRAlT6AJ9P/tlvZSNi2ptGjw/GgH/DHIl4VQCghP0+ fg6wRx4AT8C/75BleQPQACQ= =gQvA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
