Free issue tracking software for linux

Feta Asset Tracking project efficiently tracks assets. Feta is a PHP/MySQL/PostgreSQL application for use in tracking inventory of computer hardware within a company for internal use.

I wrote Feta because SimpleAssets is too complex, and I dont need to manage Licencing, since I tend not to use non-free software. It basically keeps track of individual parts and systems, as allocated to user-definable storage areas or externally-deployed locations.

Since Ive not actually started using it, I have no sense of how useful the interface is or if it is lacking a needed feature.

Ive also modified Tiquit to allow assignment of systems to Tiquit users, so that you can view a users system specs from their incident.

IssueTrackerProduct is an issue/bug tracker Web application that uses the Zope Web application server.

IssueTrackerProduct is very easy to use, and fancy features are switched off by default.

Request Tracker (RT) is an enterprise-grade ticketing system which enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users.
The RT platform has been under development since 1996, and is used by systems administrators, customer support staffs, IT managers, developers and marketing departments at thousands of sites around the world.
Written in object-oriented Perl, RT is a high-level, portable, platform independent system that eases collaboration within organizations and makes it easy for them to take care of their customers.
RT manages key tasks such as the identification, prioritization, assignment, resolution and notification required by enterprise-critical applications including project management, help desk, NOC ticketing, CRM and software development.
RT is used by Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and development organizations worldwide.
Main features:
- RT is your organizations focal point for tracking tasks, issues, knowledge, and collaboration.
- Its easy to submit, assign, prioritize, search, escalate, and report on issues.
- RT keeps track of each tickets full history and metadata to help your organization better retain knowledge and analyze trends.
- RT can track multiple projects for multiple teams within a single installation.
- RT tracks critical system metadata, including time spent per action, due dates, and estimated time to completion.
- Its easy to record private comments that are not available to end-users.
- RTs web interface comes complete with an intuitive "iterative" search interface that allows end users to construct complex queries by pointing and clicking within their web browsers.
- Users can save and edit queries later, using their browsers "bookmarks" feature.
- Users dont need to do anything special -- they can just send email to RT. RT will take care of thanking them for their message, automatically routing it to the appropriate staff, and making sure all future correspondence gets to the right place.
- RT provides a simple, self-service interface that allows end users to view their own active and resolved tickets online.
- RTs web interface is designed to be easy to use from any browser. Just working in Internet Explorer and Netscape isnt enough. Your staff need to be able to get work done anytime, anywhere.
- Whether you use Windows, MacOS or Unix, your staff already have everything they need to access RT.
- RT works great from a handheld or screen-reader (for the blind.) Best Practical is working with users to ensure that a future release is fully compliant with Section 508 accessibility requirements.
- A powerful new command-line interface that allows power users to quickly and easily work with RT, even if theyre out of the office is currently available for testing by the public.
- Youve got customers around the world. RT lets you interact with them in their own language. Internally, RT converts all data to UnicodeTM, so you can respond to users in their native tongue, but work in yours.
- Youve got staff around the globe. RTs web interface has been fully internationalized. Right now, RT speaks English, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Adding new languages is a breeze, if you need something RT doesnt support yet. On login, RT automatically detects which language each user prefers, so staff members can collaborate even if they speak different languages.
- Unlike costly proprietary issue tracking systems, an administrator can have a basic RT system up and running in an afternoon.
- RT is built to be useful right out of the box. You dont need expensive consultants
- Theres no client software to manage or keep up to date. Your existing web browser and email clients are all you need.
- RT is written in object-oriented perl. Not only do you get the complete source code to the product with every download, but your staff can begin customizing RT to meet your needs within hours.
- RTs web interface and mail gateway are built on top of the same API we publish for you to write your own tools on top of. The interface is documented and there are numerous third party tools to use as examples and templates.
- Every organization needs to track specialized data. RT lets you define list-based and freeform custom fields to help track your tickets. Once you create custom fields, its easy to search on them, just like RTs predefined fields.
- All of RTs mailing rules are based around a powerful custom business logic system called "Scrips." Scrips make it easy for a local administrator to make RT do ANYTHING whenever a ticket is created or updated, without making it hard to upgrade.
- RTs entire web interface is built on a flexible templating system that lets you build your own web-based tools or alter RTs look and feel to better fit your organization.
- If you dont want to radically change RTs interface, you can add your own components to RTs pages. A web callback system lets you drop miniature templates into RTs web pages.
- If you need even more power, "Code overlays" let you customize RTs internal behaviour without touching RTs core libraries.
Enhancements:
- This release includes numerous small cleanups and improvements.
- It fixes the dreaded "infinite relogin" bug.

Trip Tracker is a position tracking client-server system. Trip Tracker is designed to assist people in setting up a real-time tracking environment with either a private or public tracking server.
The Trip Tracker GPS client sends coordinates to the tracking server to update its position. In the event that the GPS client loses its Internet connection, it can send all collected coordinates to the tracking server as soon as its back online.
The tracking server saves all the coordinates and can forward them to listening map clients.
Version restrictions:
- The map client can only display a map of Norway, as the WMS server is hardcoded in the server-side PHP script "mapservice.php". This may change in the future. If you know any good WMS servers we might add it to the server-side script, but you still need to add the proper WMS layers in the source code to make it work.
- The GPS client version 0.8 does not set up the Java Communications library properly so it most likely wont find your GPS receiver. We hope to address this issue in the next release quite soon.
- And more...

MegaTrack is an application that tracks Atlantic and eastern Pacific tropical storms. It uses the HSQLDB engine and is updated from the tropical storm data repository from the Unisys weather center.
Enhancements:
- This minor release fixes an issue with active storms and also some rendering issues.

DITrack is a free, open source, lightweight, distributed issue (bug, defect, ticket) tracking system using a Subversion repository instead of a backend database. DITrack is written in Perl and runs in UNIX environment (*BSD, Linux, MacOS X).
The project is inspired by the idea of Subissue issue tracking system. However, while Subissue aims in merely replacing the traditional database storage with Subversion repository, DITrack is a major rethought of the issue tracking system paradigm.
The main difference is that instead of sticking to the centralized model (one database, one web interface, one mail integration machinery), DITrack treats underlying Subversion storage as a versioned distributed file system which enables benefits of truly distributed operation mode.
Enhancements:
- The major change in this release is the "real" support for disconnected operations.
- There is also a bunch of less significant enhancements (including the installation script) and bugfixes.
