Hey I'm looking for some tips for a good and easy to install easy to use SVN integrated issue tracking system.

We are maybe 3 friends looking for something much simpler to install, like double click and install then maybe write some configuration files.

A local system would be good if there's a good installation guide to follow. A web hosting system is preferred because then we don't have to get our own server.

I tried to install "Redmine", but the installation guide i was using was very long so i messed up somewhere.

I work as a C# developer, at work we use "Trac" but i read that its a huge work to install and configure tons of different modules so no thanks. And doesn't support multiple projects.

I tried SourceForge but encountered some SVN permission problems there, also I only get 1.4kBps when committing so that is too slow. Also their homepage loads too slow to, its going to be a pain to work there.

Anyone know any other system I can try? Preferable that has a short and simple installation guide. Thanks for any suggestions.

choose GIT-hub. its smooth easy. uses git and we are just using it for some fun game projects with my friends, so the fact that all code is opensource doesn't matter.

The easiest way is to use a pre-packaged install of something like Redmine, such as the ones from Bitnami.

Alternatively, get a integrated system such as UberSvn or Gforge or go with a paid-for hosting solution such as Assembla's products.

I found installing Redmine to be a little tricky, but once I had it solved with Google's help it was easy and mainly things that experienced Ruby/Rails guys would already know. Once you have Ruby and dependencies installed it's easy to administer. Trac is easy too.

Try installing trac. It shouldn't be too difficult. If it does give you problems, look at an online provider such as unfuddle.com or similar.

If you want multi-user, closed source hosting + project management online, be ready to pay $5-10/month. Single user or non-commercial projects are usually free.

You could use

  • github (GIT, only public repositories for free)
  • bitbucket (GIT and Mercurial, private repositories for free)

If switching to Mercurial or GIT is an option. (And that switch would save you a lot of subversion-pain ;)

  1. Assembla with SVN+Tickets (no install)
  2. Mantis (PHP) as issue tracker on any hosting + own SVN
