roundup issue tracker have issues

please note that the directory directive in the config file has been reinterpreted by the web server and thus is missing.


support
I'm trying to use ubuntu, apache and mysql to get this thing working.
It needs some additional info to work.
Here's my apache config file..I installed my files at /var/www/support

#################################################
# Roundup Issue tracker
#################################################
# enable Python optimizations (like 'python -O')
PythonOptimize On
# let apache handle static files from 'html' directories
AliasMatch /support/(.+)/@@file/(.*) /var/www/support/$1/$2
# everything else is handled by roundup web UI
AliasMatch /support/([^/]+)/(?!@@file/)(.*) /var/www/support/$1/dummy.py/$2
# roundup requires a slash after tracker name - add it if missing
RedirectMatch permanent ^/support/([^/]+)$ /support/$1/
# common settings for all roundup trackers
<Directory /var/www/support/*>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
Options None
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler roundup.cgi.apache
# uncomment the following line to see tracebacks in the browser
# (note that *some* tracebacks will be displayed anyway)
PythonDebug On
</Directory>

# roundup tracker homes
<Directory /var/www/support>
PythonOption TrackerHome /var/www/support
PythonOption TrackerLanguage en
</Directory>

#
# PythonOption TrackerHome /var/db/roundup/devel
#

in config.ini
add:
web = http://localhost/support/html/

the end part is the important thing ie the html/

it's the manager's job to find faults, it's the engineer's job to find solutions

our society sucks

The world we live in favours the rich. The rich gets to make more money and gets more benefits and discounts. The poor gets more interest, penalties and fines.

What I have unfortunately experienced is that if you cannot afford it or run into money problems you have to spend more. Late paying your house loans, they increase your interest rates. Late for anything else, gets fines.

Fucked up, totally unislamic.

nokia N73 is a piece of crap

yes, this phone is a piece of crap. do not buy or accept it as a gift. Dispose as soon as you get it.

I bought one for my wife, she complained and I offered to use it. After 3 days I wanted to smash it against the wall but I paid so much, 1700 for it that held me back. If I was well off I would smash it and save someone the agony of using it.

Here's why. The camera application takes forever to load. Over 60s is not uncommon. Not only that it resets itself several times before starting and frequently resets itself when trying to record video. I'm guessing it's out of memory but I only have 2 other things running, google maps and an antivirus. Sometimes I get fed up I just pull the battery out (since shutting down takes forever too). Restarting although >60s is faster than trying to fuck with the phone and getting it to work. If you want to get that sudden plane crash forget it, by the time you get the camera working it would have carshed and been cleaned up.

Another problem is the SMS messaging. Another SLOW application. When you press the 'show' option from the main screen it takes >30s to get there by which time the screen lock has kicked in and you have to enter the unlock code, what a frickin hassle. Even under normal circumstances its slow. Just to get to the message screen takes a while. By the time the phone is ready for input I've forgotten what I wanted to write!

Memory is another problem, 64Meg is not longer sufficient. Seems just the basic applications needs RAM memory, heaps of it. Seems the 'out of memory' error comes up too frequently. Unbelievable.

The web browser is another RAM memory HOG. After a couple of pages it complains that there is insufficient memory. And sometimes exits. Fucked up!

Apologies for the profanities but this phone is definitely not worth it, even for free. Borrow one first if you really want it. Try it for about 4 days.

Conclusion, get something better. Get a basic phone that works fast and get a separate digital camera.

enlightenment foundation library SUCKS

never thought I'd say it but it does.

Initially wanted to use Evas but the doco convinced me that Edje was what I wanted ... but ... all I got was that, documentation.

Evas used to have sample/test code, now it's gone. The 'edje' executable in the doc don't exist. WTF.

How the f**k can I QUICKLY experiment when I have to do so much exploration!

Please give us the test codes, or tell us where the f**k they are.

No wonder no-one uses it.
