Hi everybody,

during the last days it became clear that the trac package that is in 
Ubuntu is virtually unmaintained.
- There hasn't been an update to trac in a long time. Their package is 
0.11.1 (which is _old_) while 0.11.5 is current and 0.11.6 will be 
released soon.
- There are no security bugfixes in Ubuntu so the trac version there has 
known remote exploitations (even though those bugs are fixed in the trac 
debian package)
- Ubuntu ships with python 2.6 which is incompatible with that version 
of trac (and some of the bugs there also affect agilo)

Because trac is a package in Universe, it is completely community 
maintained and even the Ubuntu Security Team doesn't feel responsible 
for this.

So the current status is that there is virtually no hope that the Trac 
package will be updated in Ubuntu for quite some time to come.

This is a problem for us and everybody using Trac on Ubuntu and we have 
no idea how to work around this except suggesting that you don't use the 
distro provided trac.

So we would love our comunity of ubuntu users to step in and help us there.

There are two ways in which this can progress:

a) You can get in contact with the current maintainer and convince him 
that he needs to make an update available or

b) you could provide an updated package yourself and convince him to use 
that.

I think that b) is probably more likely to work, but it's also more work. :)

What do you guys think, does anybody feel he's up to that tasks?

We keep track of this situation in this bug:
