In my previous article, I talked about why I am interested in Tuleap. But in this one, I am going to talk about my impressions of the software, in trying to set it up and get it running. And while not quite an article warranting a Core Dump category tag, I did realize that I needed a new one, as I have done a number of similar posts.
I became a huge fan of the Agile development methodology over a decade ago while working at Lumos Networks as a contract PHP developer. This is also where I learned Test Driven Development (TDD), and have much to thank Brian Johnston for bringing those skills into my toolbox, even after many years. And they say an old dog cannot learn new tricks.
If you have looked around this site, or know me and have heard me discuss it, I have an honest to goodness Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. I am not talking about the rebuilt version called Rocky Linux, which is the successor to CentOS after Red Hat changed that distro from being just a rebuilt/relabeled version of the corresponding RHEL version to a stream version sitting somewhere behind Fedora and before RHEL.
I have been looking at tuleap for a personal Agile tool, to help me track tasks as I work on personal coding projects. For example, I might be working on a new version of a disk partitioning script to use with my kickstart installs, and come up with ideas I don't want to forget. So, to keep track of it, I have been creating tasks in Eclipse Mylyn using the stand-alone task list. But that list can be less than optimal, and it does not integrate with things like Jenkins, etc.
