Cvstrac – Ready to run within a minute

Thanks to Michael Tsai [1], who compiled the Cvstrac [2], a webbased bug and patch-set tracking system for CVS with an integrated Wiki, for OS X, this tool is up and running within nearly no time.

Cvstrac ist based on Sqlite, which means, that the running this tool requires but only two files – the Cvstrac executable and the Sqlite database file. Installing the Wiki looks roughly like:

cvstrac init ~/Desktop/tmp/ wiki
cvstrac server 8008 ~/Desktop/tmp/ &

Proceede with these steps, you should be able to point at http://127.0.0.1:8008/wiki and the login page should show up. The default username/password is setup/setup. The fun with this is, that there is no need to have Apache up and running. HTH.
