the administration (upgrade, patching) easy enough?
Yes, quite so. It is written in PHP and supports MySQL and PostgreSQL, and has generally come with good incremental upgrade scripts.
Does it support multi-projects on the same instance?
Absolutely. In addition to that, it supports:
- Custom fields at the project or bug entry level.
- Flexible, exportable reporting.
- Multiple levels of user access and privilege (custom configurable if
necessary, but default built-ins work well) so as to limit authority to view, submit, and resolve or delete bugs. Configurable per project if needed.
- Easy release notes generation.
- Configurable e-mail notification of users for virtually all events.
- Linkage of bug entries to each other causally (e.g. depends on, child of,
related to, etc.)
- SVN and Git integration via plugins.
- Colour-coding for easy visual classification of severity of bugs, or
subject matter affiliation, etc.
Redmine has all of this stuff (with no plugins, all included) and many more features. I use Redmine in my personal projects and also in my work in which we use a Redmine for managing *several* projects.
