At my company we use CVSNT and run an Apache 2.0 webserver serving only ViewCVS on the same low end WinXP box. For our 15 person development group this works fine. I wouldn't even try doing software development without bug tracking of some kind. We run RTI's CustomerFirst software http://www.rti-software.com/home.html which does not have CVS integration by default. I wrote loginfo handlers to insert information directly into CustFirst's MS-SQL database. CustFirst is a proprietary package that works just fine but it is somewhat expensive for small companies. It also does more than bug tracking being a full CRM and sales tracking product designed for software companies. My gut feeling is that there are open source solutions out there that could do the same thing but you will spend time and money researching and integrating these to find the "right fit" for you. That cost could very well be above the price of implementing the off the shelf solution. I have heard good things on this list about Mantis http://www.mantisbt.org/ and I've always wanted to find a reason to play with RT http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ but haven't quite found the time yet. --Aric Aric Czarnowski Unimax Systems Corporation 612-204-3634
