This page is intended to be a summary of the tools used by the KDE project for Software Engineering tasks, i.e. everything around coding work. This includes bugfixing, review, testing, documentation, requirements etc.
The current tool used by KDE should be listed along with the extent of its use, known alternatives, and advantages/disadvantages.
Subversion 1.4 is used for source control management in KDE.
Dirk Muller and the kde sysadmin team maintain the KDE SVN servers.
There is interest in migrating to a distributed source control management tool, such as GIT. Discussion of this is taking place on the kde-scm-interest mailing list.
Bug tracking in KDE is managed using Bugzilla 2.x.
Matt Rogers and the kde sysadmin team maintain the KDE bugzilla installation.
There is work being done on a transition to Bugzilla 3.0, which provides some additional features.
David Solbach and the kde sysadmin team maintain the Plasma review-board installation.
Review-board may be suitable for adoption by more of the KDE project, or by individual modules.
