Setting Up an Open Source Development Environment II

Before you read this I suggest you to read the first post of development environment. In that post development approach is detailed. Setting up the figured environment is a little bit challenging. There are lots of configuration, however I chose the shortest path (lazy way :) of configuring the open source tools.

First of all the starting point is gathering a virtual appliance of redmine.

How to resize Virtual Box .vdi Disk Size on Windows XP SP3

To increase open command promt and do the following.

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

VBoxManage list hdds

Find your .vdi path and run:

VBoxManage modifyhd “C:\VDI PATH\XX\XX.vdi” –resize 40960

And open your virtual machine. Windows XP is not supporting resize of the current disk in the disk management. Find a third party tool like partition magic. And increase the size of disk with unallocated partition.

Setting Up an Open Source Development Environment I

In this post, I will describe how to derive an agile development environment by using only open source tools with my choices. Further, I will explain how to configure this environment step by step. First of all, the most difficult part; selecting tools in the open source crowd. I preferred the most heard tools according to their futures and capabilities.

• Source Revision Control; SVN (subversion) or GIT
• Continuous Integration; Jenkins
• Issue Management; Redmine
• Agile Project Management; Backlogs extension for Redmine

Intent is to set up a slim, easily configurable, useful and agile development environment by considering quality issues.
