README

          
A plug-in that enables evidence-based scheduling in Trac.

	Created: Thu Aug 12 15:47:00 EDT 2010

	Status :

		Done	Logging time

		Done	Listing tickets

		Test	Clock in / clock out

		Test	Schedule graphs.

	NOTE:

	I have not audited the code to confirm that malicious input won't

	break stuff.  We are using it in a trusted environment.

	(The logic does check that the user that has authenticated (via

	HTTPS), is the owner of the ticket before allowing data to be

	inserted.)

DEPENDENCIES

	The plugin was developed against Trac 0.10.4, which is ancient,

	but hopefully it will work any subsequent version.  It doesn't

	do anything very tricky, just uses the RequestHandler interface

	and custom ticket fields.

	To use the command-line client utilities, you need to have

	curl and python installed.

INSTALLING THE CLIENT

	Do this to book time and estimates to the Trac server.

	First, look at the Makefile variables:

		MANDIR=/usr/local/share/man

		BINDIR=/usr/local/bin

	and edit if necessary.

	Next, install the client utilities and their man pages:

		$ sudo make install-client

	To test the man pages were installed correctly, type:

		$ man ebsconf

INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

	Do this on the server that hosts Trac.

		$ make

		$ sudo make install

	Edit your trac conf (e.g., /usr/local/trac/conf/trac.ini)

	to enable the ebstrac component.

		...

		[components]

		ebstrac.* = enabled

		...

		[ticket-custom]

		estimatedhours = text

		estimatedhours.label = Estimated Hours

		estimatedhours.order = 1

		estimatedhours.value = 0

		actualhours = text

		actualhours.label = Actual Hours

		actualhours.order = 2

		actualhours.value = 0

		...

	If you are running trac as a FastCGI daemon, you'll

	have to kill then restart the daemon.

		"Tracker is a free, award winning, agile project

		management tool that enables real time collaboration

		around a shared, prioritzed backlog."

		They use velocity, but it's based on task points,

		not hours.  Also, some of their task types ("Bugs",

		"Chores", etc) don't get points.  Cool UI though.

		For me, using hours is key as it connects to the

		timesheet.  If you want process control around the

		development process, you have to track labor.

		People want to get paid for their time, so providing a

		connection to timesheets seems like the simplest way.
