NAME

Potracheno is a specialized issue tracker for sizing tech debt impact.

Potracheno is a Russian adjective with a literal meaning between wasted and spent. It became a local meme after being incorrectly used in GTA game death scene localization.

DESCRIPTION

Just like a normal ITS, Potracheno has issues, which in turn have comments and time tracking facility. However, instead of tracking time spent on resolving an issue, it tracks time spent working around it.

This is supposed to help track down the exact tech debt instances that slow down and demotivate the team.

Features:

users, issues, comments, and time tracking
report showing issues with various properties
issue search
DB migration script; MySQL, sqlite support

Not really much here.

INSTALLATION

On a Unix system:

git clone <this repository>

./bin/install.pl --doit

plackup cgi/app.psgi

The install.pl command will:

check for missing dependencies;
create a local directory;
install latest MVC::Neaf from github locally, unless such library is already available;
create a default configuration file at local/potracheno.cfg, unless it's already there;
create an empty SQLite DB from template in sql directory, unless a previous config was detected, or database already exists.

No setup is currently available for Windows, though it is planned. Generally the sequence is as above. perl bin\\install.pl --doit --readonly command will only check for dependencies, and test database availability.
