Our installation of Request Tracker is a modified version 2.0.13. Most of the modifications were tracked in CVS; the repository is on drugstore at /cvs/krbdev in the tracking subdirectory. drugstore no longer serves CVS, so the repository must be copied out and checked out locally. A few changes have been made on the running server without version control.

Packages

RT has the following perl dependencies, along with the corresponding Ubuntu packages they reside in:

The data in RT is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The postgresql Ubuntu package will install the recommended version of PostgreSQL for the current Ubuntu version.

In sum, the following packages must be installed on the RT server:

 libapache-session-perl

 libparams-validate-perl                                                       
 libtext-template-perl

User accounts

The postgresql package will create a postgres user account.

The following user accounts and group entries must be created manually:

  • group rt
  • user rt: primary group rt, homedir /var/rt2, shell /bin/false
  • user rtcvs: primary group rt, homedir /var/rt2, shell /bin/sh

/var/rt2 should contain an empty .k5login file.

PostgreSQL configuration

Many PostgreSQL files live in directories specific to the PostgreSQL major and minor version, such as /etc/postgresql/8.3 for PostgreSQL 8.3.

The Ubuntu postgresql package will create a "main" cluster with a configuration directory in /etc/postgresql/<version>/main.

In /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/pg_ident.conf, add:

 local		root		root
 local		root		postgres
 local		root		rt_user
 local		rt		rt_user
 local		rtcvs		rt_user
 local		postfix		rt_user
 local		nobody		rt_user
