Richard Brooksby, Ravenbrook Limited, 2000-10-19
1. INTRODUCTION
This is an alpha release of the Perforce Defect Tracking Integration
(P4DTI).
The primary purpose of this release is to support the project alpha
programme [RB 2000-10-10]. Ravenbrook and TeamShare staff will be
visiting selected sites to install and test the software, and gather
feedback.
We do _not_ recommend that you install and run this software in your
organization. The software is _not_ supported in any way by Ravenbrook,
Perforce Software, or TeamShare.
For up-to-date information about releases of the P4DTI, see the releases
index . Reports of
defects found in releases will be posted there.
For general information about the project, see the project front page
.
2. SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS
This release supports:
- Perforce 2000.1 (with a special client available from Ravenbrook)
on any platform;
- TeamTrack internal build 4402 (available from Ravenbrook) running
on Windows NT 4.
It does not support Bugzilla.
3. INSTALLATION
On the TeamTrack server machine, run the "p4dti-teamtrack-0.3.2.exe"
installer program. This will unpack the integration. We recommend
installing the integration in "C:\Program Files\P4DTI\" but you can ask
the installer to put it somewhere else.
Then consult the Administrator's Guide (installed by default in
"C:\Program Files\P4DTI\sag\index.html") for further instructions.
