Roundup Issue Tracker

RundupRoundup is a simple-to-use and and powerful issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. Roundup is being used for bug tracking and TODO list management, issue management, customer help desk support, and sales lead tracking.

It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry “Track” design competition.

The current stable version of Roundup is 1.4.x which has quite a comprehensive feature set. For more information see the design overview, and all the other documentation. Roundup has been deployed for:

  • bug tracking and TODO list management
  • customer help desk support (with a wizard for the phone answerers, linking to networking, system and development issue trackers)
  • issue management for IETF working groups
  • sales lead tracking
  • conference paper submission and double-blind referee management
  • weblogging

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Roundup configurations:
    • Uses Apache2 to serve roundup (instead of roundup-server).
    • Disabled registration confirmation via email (requires mail server).
    • Includes Xapian full text indexer (recommended for large issue DB).
    • Includes full timezone support and documentation.
    • Automatically install security updates directly from Debian stable (security).
  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, MySQL and Postfix.
