HI All,
I've finally installed almost all the software we need in the new
server. We have newer versions of Trac, subversion, apache, and so on.
There are some news regarding Trac upgrade, since 0.9 there has been
lots of changes, macro development is no longer supported, everything
should be changed as a trac plugin and it is not a trivial change.
Fortunately we've found three plugins that suits perfectly, also we
have new features like *Blog* and *User registration* so we won't need
to share a common user for making changes, everybody can register a
username and make changes with his/her own name.
Migrations are always painful, the last one was quite difficult
compared to this one, so I'm confident we can do great and we will
need some help and patience. There is no guarantee that everything
will work, so I beg for your comprehension. I will start the migration
this Saturday night (in Spain, which is UTC/GMT +1) and probably the
server will be inaccessible until Monday ( I'm counting with problems,
the time it will take to solve them, etc).
So, make your last changes to the wiki (the current one) if you need,
and this night I will try to start the process.
By the way, once the new wiki is up, the "Center Macro" should be
changed to the new one:
{{{
#!div style="text-align: center"
This is the ''only'' way to go in Trac 0.11
}}}
So we could use some hands to solve all the "Center" macro issue, but
that will be once the new wiki is opened to changes.
During the next week we probably need to do some changes, adjustments,
and so on... be prepared for this, we will keep you informed.
Any doubts?
Best Regards,
Jose-Luis Hidalgo.
