Redmine Project Management

Welcome on the project management web application. This site is dedicated to the organization and control of CS development projects for SI students at Polytech'Nice Sophia.

As a start, this site is first used by SI5/M2 IFI engineering project (PFE).

Introduction¶

This web app is powered by redmine, a web-based project management app:

• Reference web site: http://www.redmine.org/
• Reference guide: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Guide (see also below)
• French guide: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/FrGuide
• Functional demo site: http://demo.redmine.org/ You can also experiment on the sandbox project (pfeSandbox for PFE students) on this site.

This redmine site is bound to a subversion site with a repository per project:

• Reference web site: http://subversion.tigris.org/
• A French tutorial on the client part (the only one you need): http://www.siteduzero.com/tutoriel-3-2696-gerez-vos-projets-a-l-aide-du-gestionnaire-de-versions-subversion.html
• A more complete introduction: http://dev.nozav.org/intro_svn.html

First Connection¶

The connection on the redmine site uses the polytech LDAP. Use your webmail login and password to connect.

Note: you should login a first time to be automatically registered in the redmine system. Then you'll be assigned to your project (not automatically).

How to Use Redmine¶

For students and supervisors, there is:

• a Template of PFE project project that summarizes all duties and deadlines of the engineering PFE. It notably illustrates how to:
  • create versions: see #3 and http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineRoadmap
  • create different kinds of issues( Feature, Bug, Support and Meeting) and manage their lifecyle (open / close and more) : see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineIssues
  • Learn how to manage wiki pages, at least to provide a project overview : see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineWikis
  • play with the associated subversion repository and check the changes on the redmine part (list of commits, online diff) : see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineRepository
• a project:pfe-sandbox project to play safely with all commands...

Reminder: Usage of this redmine is mandatory for all engineering PFE projects.

Svn Access¶

Each project has a svn repository automatically created and attached (sorry, no other SCM is currently supported).

The repository is accessible by any svn client (and a web browser) at the address https://redmine.polytech.unice.fr/svn/<yourprojectname>

Note: The repository is created empty, i.e. no branch nor trunk. You need to create these subdirectories through a svn client if you want to have a classic svn organization.

Troubleshooting¶

Some slots during lunch time (1pm-2pm) will be dedicated to helping students in setting up the connection and svn syncs. In case of problem:

• on the redmine, check first your login and password, clear cache of your browser and retry.
• on the svn, check access to the server (ping...), try to connect to the redmine server first to double check your login/pwd
• mail to Philippe DOT Collet AT unice DOT fr
