Is Source Code of Google Code Open Source

Question

We in our company are looking to setup a code repository to which multiple groups can contribute. I am looking for a system like Google Code with following features:

i. Wiki

ii. Issue Tracker

iii. Source Repository (SVN integration)

iv. Control the access to make modifications to the code

The closest open source alternative I could find is "Trac".

1) Is the code of Google Code Open Source? A google search does not take me to any useful link.

2) Any suggestions for open source software matching the above needs?

Answer 1

I've recently started using GitHub for scm and I have to say it's pretty damn nice.

Answer 2

This from the FAQ:

Is Google Code's implementation itself open source?

As with most project-hosting sites, our underlying technology is a mixture of open source and proprietary code. For example, the issue tracker is entirely written by Google, but the version-control service is based on Subversion, a popular open source tool.

We use Trac & SVN here at work, though I'm sure there are other options available.

Answer 3

Choosing one solution that has all 4 of those requirements might be the wrong approach - I've found its better to choose the best tool for the job, and not use a 12-in-1 tool like a Swiss Army Knife.

Git is one of the better source control solutions, and there are a variety of bug tracker and documentation tools to choose from. I personally use CodeTrack as a bug tracker - it's extremely simple and does not require a database connection, although I know CodeTrack is not one of the more popular ones out there.
