Use Trac. My company uses Trac for our SVN repository, and it works beautifully (I'm also the main Trac admin at work, so I'm quite familiar with it).
It's more than just an issue tracker--it has a full source code browser with diff support and syntax highlighting.
You can tie tickets and commits very tightly together; Trac supports SVN hooks that can require a ticket to be referenced in every commit message. If you ref a ticket number in a commit message, a comment will be added to the ticket with the text of the commit message and a link to the changeset diff (yes, you can ref multiple tickets in one commit). If you put the phrase "Fixes #someticketnumber" in the commit message, Trac will even automatically close the ticket as fixed. That's pretty awesome--you can just commit and not have to worry about manually closing the ticket.
But John Sullivan (Hi John!) is the manager of operations at the FSF.
Perhaps Sully's name and contact information should be sent to Apple's legal department.
He is a ringleader of a group conspiring to commit harassment and fraud against Apple. I'm sure they'd like to know who's behind this, so they can press charges.
The question is, who is responsible for this? If Apple stuck to what they said they were going to do about DRM, or if they spent a little more money on their support services and some executives took a slight pay cut, this wouldn't be an issue.
This is a classic Mafia tactic.

Anyone else here live in the Dallas area and want to harass these guys back?
There are two Apple Stores in the Dallas area. One is in the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano and the other is in the West Village in uptown Dallas (for the record, the latter is more accessible by public transportation).
Who else is up for going to one of the Apple Stores in the Dallas area once the FSF's plan gets into full swing and publicly decrying, insulting, and harassing these scumbags while they're trying to harass the Apple Store staff?
Let's see how these assholes like being harassed back.
Terrorism is using illegitimate and illegal tactics to disrupt people's lives. It doesn't have to be violent. Look at the "paper terrorism" used by members of the Redemption Movement, the Posse Comitatus, and other nutballs associated with the Patriot Movement.
Harassment is illegal. Furthermore, booking a spot on the Genius Bar when you know you don't have a legitimate tech support question constitutes fraud. Fraud is a felony.
These Defective By Design people are committing felonies to disrupt people's lives. How is that not terrorism?
I don't care what you think about Apple or the FSF's goals, but this is blatant harassment and possibly borderline terrorism.
Maybe Apple should have guards outside every Apple store requiring everyone who enters to sign an oath swearing under penalty of perjury that they are not associated with the FSF.
I hope Apple sues the FSF into the ground for this.
Actually, yes, I do have a problem with the principle of democracy.
Other people do not have the right to decide how _my_ money has spent.
I can tolerate taxation for basic services (police, etc.) as a necessary evil, but that does not make it not evil. Any government-funded service that is not necessary should neither be government-funded nor have any government involvement whatsoever.
The law was wrong. By breaking the law, Newsom was doing the right thing.
Democracy is the absolute worst way to guarantee individual rights, and the sooner it goes away, the better. Democracy is a collectivist system, just like communism. Neither are suited towards individualism.
If someone calls me, I miss the call, and they leave a voicemail, I just call them back from my missed calls list, and I don't even listen to the voicemail.
All voicemail does for me is leave an annoying icon on my screen and make my phone beep on bootup for 30 minutes.
If anyone tries to use this service with me, they will end up not communicating with me at all, as I never check voicemail.
I wonder if AT&T will turn off my voicemail service if I ask them to.
I've refused to fly since 9/11, because of the TSA.
When my cousin got married in 2006, I took a week off of college and took a road trip halfway across the country to attend the wedding (I live in Texas; my cousin lives in New York).
My grades in one class suffered due to missing some homework, but I'd rather let my GPA take a hit than get on a TSA-controlled airplane.
And if my company tried to make me fly, I'd quit. Whether or not I give two weeks notice will depend on whether or not they give me at least two weeks before the flight (if they give me less, I will give less notice so that my last day will be the day before the flight).
That's because NetBurst was architecturally inferior to even the original P5 Pentium. If it were possible to overclock a 486 to 3+ GHz, it would perform about the same as a NetBurst chip.
If you're in marketing or sales, sure. Speaking languages that are spoken locally helps get the message out to the masses.
If you're in engineering? Honestly, as an engineer in Texas, I've never had a single Hispanic co-worker. You'll mostly work with other native English-speakers, Indians, and probably Chinese (and if you're in Dallas, you'll probably work with some Vietnamese people too).
Hindi? I'm not sure about that...most Indians in the tech industry are south Indians. In other words, they speak Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil. Not Hindi.
No, really. Look at all of the cities that are described as "the Silicon Valley of the East". They are Bangalore (Kannada-speaking), Hyderabad (Telugu-speaking), and Chennai (Tamil-speaking).
If you're going into engineering and want to move to India, look to the south.
If you're staying in the US, there's no need to speak anything other than English, regardless of the native language of your co-workers.
I work at my company's headquarters in the US. The vast majority of my co-workers in the same office are Indian. We also have an office in India that we communicate with all the time. We all talk to each other in English all the time. All business is done in English. Some of them might use their native languages privately over IM, but that's it. Not speaking their native languages puts me at no disadvantage.
The only reason for me to learn, for example, Telugu would be for "street cred" as one of the earlier posters put it.

Wait, someone on Slashdot makes sense?
Unpossible!

No surprise there.
Algore is all about tricking people into buying into his latest scam.
You'd be much better off developing for PS3 Linux, if you're so determined.
Yessssss! That means PS3 NetHack!
Finally a reason to buy a PS3!

I bought an Intel DP35DP board for my latest desktop. It works beautifully under Linux.

There are planes in the air at all times.
If the ATCs strike, who will deal with the planes that were in the air when they went on strike?

Actually, I'd rather just pay extra for ad-free programming. Premium channels FTW.
Who is society? There is no such thing!

I need to proofread better. That should be "30 days", not "30 minutes".
I despise voicemail.
If someone calls me, I miss the call, and they leave a voicemail, I just call them back from my missed calls list, and I don't even listen to the voicemail.

I'm fairly sure he was making a joke.
You try and carry around five devices in your pocket. PDA, phone, MP3 player, pocket calculator, camera, etc. You'll need cargo pants.
It's the one reason I haven't bought an N810 yet, and the main reason why my next phone will almost certainly be an HTC Kaiser/TyTN II.
I have.
