Success

We have a new configuration manager here, somebody who used to work here, and has now come back. Luckily, I finished the build/release product before he got here, and he seems to like it - at least he isn't complaining to me. Our build/release system is very complicated, as it has to build something that the government calls "segments". Don't ask, you won't like the answer.

So, while I wait for another bunch of projects to come to a point that I can port them to this process/product - I am looking for a new issue tracker tool. Nobody likes the tool we are using right now, the configuration manager least of all. So, I am looking for an issue manager that uses subversion. Trac seems to be the best bet. So, I am trying to build it, knowing nada, zip, nothing about Python.

It isn't building. It can't seem to find the sqlite library. It should be able to find it - I dropped the exe and dll into System32.

I put a Please help me on the mailing list - but zip so far.

More & more I want to write the issue/requirements tracker that has been in my head for so long. I would write it in either java, php or Ruby on Rails. I would put an embedded firebird database behind it. Now, I have to get people to believe that they should let me do this at work. I am too damn old and tired to do it at home in my oh so copious spare time.
