CVSTrac

CVSTrac was the software I used for this site's CVS section in bygone years, and features a built-in Wiki, an issue tracker and a number of other neat features in a very small, light and fast package.

It has since been superseded for my uses by Fossil, which provides a more fully integrated environment.

Notes

Boilerplate xinetd configuration:

cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvstrac
service cvstrac
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        type            = unlisted
        port            = 8090
        wait            = no
        user            = admin
        server          = /var/www/cgi-bin/cvstrac
        server_args     = http /opt/CVSROOT cvstrac
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

Alternatives:

  • Trac, the variant I spent the most time dealing with
  • mtrack (PHP)
