Bug tracker running off a USB pendrive. Is this possible?

I desire to run a bug tracker off a USB pendrive (for a variety of reasons, mostly because I frequently do not have internet access and need to hop around from machine to machine).

Does anyone have any advice on achieving this? I know mySQL and such can all be installed on a pendrive, just wondered if anyone had put this all toget开发者_如何学运维her in one nice and easy package?

The fossil distributed version control system includes a bug tracker and runs simply and easily from a USB drive without needing any setup.

Procedure goes something like this:

• Insert pendrive. Assume it is mounted as drive Z:

• Open a dos window

• Type z:/fossil ui

The fossul ui, including a bug tracker, will open in your default browser.

Take a look at DevProject Manager. It is nice app and should be exactly what you are asking for.

How about a distributed bug tracking system. I have not used any, but they exist and may fit your needs. Here is an overview article.

You might look into getting XAMP or WAMP setup on a flash drive and see if you can use that as a portable solution. Both of those have apache, MySQL and PHP installed on them, so you should be able to use most any PHP based bug tracker on that apache web server.

Good luck and hope this helps.

I believe you'd be able to run Trac off a pen drive. Install trac using sqlite to the pen drive, then when you add it to the system, have a bat file or something to run tracd.exe and you are ready to roll.

I'm doubtful someone has a package of that 'ready to roll' so it will take a little fiddling to get it working, but then again most people don't run bug trackers on pen drives so doing some fiddling is probably going to be unavoidable.

I bundle our companies application, a J2EE client-server system onto a USB stick (atop Postgres, on Ubuntu). (It's not a bucgtracker.) You can have anything you want on a USB stick.

Postgres/Remastersys is your friend.

I wrote my own little thing (in a weekend so it's not great).

It stores projects (bugs and schedule info) in XML format.

I've got it on the SD card in my phone, in it's own directory, with it's project files. It does store the last project file opened in the registry, but other than that it leaves no trace..

I use Instant Mantis. http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:instantmantis Easier to configure. Runs the exactly the same Mantis code.
