[Tracker-discuss] Making the local instance easier to install

[Daniel (ajax) Diniz]

Hi,

I'm working on a couple of issues/patches that focus on getting a
local instance up and running.

The TrackerDevelopment article was a bit stale, so I've updated it to
include some caveats and tips, that boil down to (* marks a patch to
be submitted to the meta tracker):

[from a message to Jeroen]
1 - postgresql 8.3 won't work unless patched (looks like it's working,
only to break e.g. adding new issues), 8.2 works fine. A simple patch
makes 8.3 work: http://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2030479 (won't
submit this as it's present in Roundup 1.4.6).

2 - Installing psycopg2 from my package manager didn't work, from source
works nicely.

3 - SpamBayes can be another problem if you already use it (or doesn't
want to), this one I have yet to sort out. A local copy runs fine.

[new]
4* - The CIA.vc detector will embarrassingly post your test issues to
http://cia.vc/stats/project/python

5* - There are new values for a couple of fields, like Priority and Stages.

6* - SpamBayes dummy config should allow empty string/missing spambayes_uri.

7 - detectors/audit2to3.py isn't present anymore, but the general suggestion
about disabling detectors is still useful.

8 - Added links for Roundup docs and issue tracker.

I think we should discuss a workflow, will post a message on this
(with a couple of suggested features/bugs/RFCs ) soon :)

Cheers,
Daniel
