Issue Tracking

I built a simple initial ontology around issue tracking. I want to examine some issue trackers and decide how I’m going to track my issues until I have my own working software (or anything which uses my semantic model).

Here’s a table from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems)

But some tools are missing: Distributed bug trackers. So here’s a list of some:

• Bugs Everywhere
• ditz
• ticgit
• Fossil
• Veracity

I want to go over the ones in the Wikipedia table and examine features. First, here’s a list of features from the Wikipedia table:

• Storage support for SQL databases, flat file and version control
• License: Consider using AGPL to enforce availability of source code for software used over the internet
• Generating report and scheduling their generation and mailing, RSS
• Integration with documentation and wiki
• Test planning integration
• Customizable workflow
• Unicode support
• Custom fields
• Plugin API
• Multiple projects
• Full-text search
• Indexed full-text search
• Indexed file search
• Input interfaces: Web, email, CLI, GUI, REST, SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC
• Notification interfaces: Email, RSS, Atom, XMPP, Twitter, IRC
• Version control system integration
• Authentication methods: Form based, public key cryptography, two-factor, openID, OAuth, LDAP, Shibboleth

And more features I see while checking the software from the list:

• Attachments (e.g. screenshots) and patches to messages/bugs/comments (like in Bugzilla)

Listen. I checked out things, and thought a lot and wrote a lot. There’s no way to have aspect-tagged issues and tasks with dependencies. I need to write an application with an RDF storage backend. This is not trivial, because after getting the graph from there I need to decide how I update it, how the data is loaded into a GUI widget and so on. Hmmm… is there no simple solution to this???

No, there isn’t.

I’m continuing with libKort then. Later I’ll work on the statement-based API and use libKort as a file-based backend for it.

Another update, I’m installing Redmine and moving all my tasks there. Later I will export the sqlite database to XML and import it into my own system.
