Test case for backend not defined; remove unreachable code Verify that error is raised in configuration.py if backend is not defined in config.ini. Remove unreachable code from instance.py that detects that backend is not defined. It hasn't been reachable since version 1.6.1 because the configuration.py module made the backend option mandatory. Hence configuration.py raises the error and never passes control back to the unreachable code.

Roundup Issue Tracker
=====================

   <div class="release_info note">Download:
   <a href="https://pypi.org/project/roundup/">latest</a></div>

Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
command-line, web and e-mail interfaces.  It is based on the winning
design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design
competition.

The current stable version of Roundup is 2.0.0 which has quite a
comprehensive :doc:`feature set <docs/features>` compared to the last
stable release (v1.6.1). These features include:

   * Python 2 and Python 3 support
   * a new REST interface
   * updates to jinja2 templates including security improvements

For more information see the :doc:`design overview <docs/design>`, and
all the other :doc:`documentation <docs>`. Roundup has been deployed
for:

    * bug tracking and TODO list management (the classic installation)
    * customer help desk support (with a wizard for the phone answerers, linking to networking, 
      system and development issue trackers)
    * issue management for IETF working groups
    * sales lead tracking
    * conference paper submission and double-blind referee management
    * weblogging (well, almost :) 

...and so on. It's been designed with :doc:`flexibility
<docs/customizing>` in mind - it's not just another bug
tracker. Roundup ships with a *demo tracker* to play with - after
you've unpacked the source, just run "python demo.py" and load up the
URL it prints out!

Roundup was originally released as version 0.1.1 in late August, 2001. The first `change note`_ I wrote says:

    Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many Perl-based systems, to no avail.
    Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be released. Had just finished major product project, so needed
    something different for a while. Roundup here I come...
