Hey gang! Looking for some recommendations on issue tracking software that I can run on Linux. Partly so that I can keep track of my hobby dev projects, partly so that I’ve got a bit more to talk about in interviews. My current workplace uses Jira, Trello and Asana for various different projects, which, eh, mostly serve their purposes. But I’m not going to be running those at home.
The ArchWiki has Bugzilla, Flyspray, Mantis, Redmine and Trac, for instance. Any of those an improvement over pen and paper? Any of those likely to impress an employer?
Put your
FIXME:s in the source code, and use a tool like legume or ditz to manage them. (Here’s an LWN “state of affairs” article from 2013 with several).IMO web based bug trackers are overkill for personal projects. A workflow based ticketing system with an external interface adds a lot of unnecessary overhead unless you want users to be able to submit bugs, and even then, email works pretty well.
Oh, this sounds interesting. I’ll have to give this a try.
