Re: [Trac] About including jQuery UI in Trac ...
W. Martin Borgert wrote: For distributions such as Debian or Ubuntu it is very important not to duplicate software in the archive, mainly, but not only, for security reasons. Therefore, JQuery is packaged as a Debian package that is used by Trac, but also by other web applications. If e.g. a security bug is found in JQuery, we need only to update the JQuery package with a fixed version and do not need to care about Trac and e.g. half a dozen other packages. While I understand (and agree with) the general idea, I wonder if that situation really applies to jQuery (core, not jQuery UI, see below): - Maybe I'm a bit naive, but what security issues could be in a JavaScript library? Security is provided by the browser, not the libraries, isn't it? - Trac expects to find jquery.js in trac/htdocs/js. So in the Debian packaging, you replace the file provided with Trac with a symlink to the separately-packaged jquery.js? - Do you keep several versions of jQuery installed at the same time on a system, and for every package you link to the required version? Packaging jQuery with Trac (besides simplifying dependencies) ensures that we can make changes to the Trac code required by a jQuery update in sync with the update. If Trac would use an embedded copy of JQuery, why not also include Genshi, Pygments, PySQLite/PsycoPG etc.? I hope, you don't do that :~) Certainly not. There's (at least) one difference with jQuery: it doesn't have a standard packaging, and therefore no standard location in the filesystem where we could easily find it. And even if it did, it's a single file, so I guess it seemed simpler to just include it. I also notice that Gentoo doesn't have a jQuery package (just a data point, certainly not an authoritative argument). This would probably be different for jQuery UI, though. I assume it includes images for the UI controls, so the single file argument drops. Does Debian package jQuery UI?

[Trac] Can't login after upgrading to 11.6
Hi
I upgraded my Trac from 11.5 (I guess) to 11.6. Now, I can't login
anymore (see Traceback below). I had installed some plugins like
UserAdmin or however it was called (to allow users to register
themselves).
Couldn't find anything on google yet, except a 3 year old, solved trac-
ticket (http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5383). Any suggestions?

I think it's a bit premature for 0.12. We don't have yet any use for jQuery UI in Trac itself, so if we would add it just for the plugins without a good internal use case, we will probably not do it correctly. Such an use case could be the date picker for the date fields in the custom query ... some attempts have been made, but nothing satisfying yet. Once 0.12 is out, hopefully someone will send a good patch. Btw, I don't see it as a problem to bundle it with Trac. We would have our own copy, with a well tested version, so what? Debian or other packagers can decide to strip it out and add whatever hoops they want. It will then be up to them to ensure that in the end, the .js files will still be installed when doing a trac-admin env deploy folder. But for Windows for example, it would be silly to require a separate download. So maybe for 0.12.1, once we have a good example usage in Trac core.

[Trac] Advanced use of Genshi substitutions using wiki docs
This one is about Genshi, but it's for a Trac plugin. Hope you don't mind ;o)
I'd like to do the following :
1- Retrieve a text written using WikiFormatting. Wiki text contains
some Genshi template expressions (done !)
2- Render the text as (X)HTML leaving template expressions intact (done !)
3- Transform the text using a known dict as context , thus expanding
template expressions
4- Insert that text in an specific place inside another «static» XML template
using same rendering context
Q:
- Is there a way to pass the output of 2) directly to 4) ? I mean to have
something in the «static» template just like ${wiki_tx(text)} and
expand the
contents inside the wiki text too when transforming the «static» template
I thought I knew, but I either forgot or was dreaming ...

I hope, that no need arises to keep multiple versions around. Debian could cope with that (we have a lot of libraries etc. in multiple versions), but currently this is not supported for the jQuery package. Packaging jQuery with Trac (besides simplifying dependencies) ensures that we can make changes to the Trac code required by a jQuery update in sync with the update. This is also my fear: If jQuery is packaged with Trac, Trac will maybe depend on a specific version of jQuery and it might be harder for Debian and other distributions to make it work with the version that is supported by the distribution. For jQuery this is risk is probably very low, but it exists. I also notice that Gentoo doesn't have a jQuery package (just a data point, certainly not an authoritative argument).

Currently we have in Debian: libjs-jquery: 1.3.3 libjs-jquery-ui: 1.7.2 libjs-flot: 0.5 Any package that needs a JavaScript Library just symlinks to file it needs. E.g. libjs-jquery provides (among others) the file /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js The Trac package has a symlink /usr/share/pyshared/trac/htdocs/js/jquery.js to the above file. For Windows-Users it might better to have a kind of Trac meta-package, which contains not only Trac and jQuery, but also other important dependencies, i.e. Python libraries.

Debian could cope with that (we have a lot of libraries etc. in multiple versions), but currently this is not supported for the jQuery package. Packaging jQuery with Trac (besides simplifying dependencies) ensures that we can make changes to the Trac code required by a jQuery update in sync with the update. This is also my fear: If jQuery is packaged with Trac, Trac will maybe depend on a specific version of jQuery and it might be harder for Debian and other distributions to make it work with the version that is supported by the distribution. For jQuery this is risk is probably very low, but it exists. I also notice that Gentoo doesn't have a jQuery package (just a data point, certainly not an authoritative argument). I have a friend at Gentoo, I will immediately tell him, how much better Debian and Ubuntu are, because we have this package :~) This would probably be different for jQuery UI, though. I assume it includes images for the UI controls, so the single file argument drops. Does Debian package jQuery UI? How does it link it into the packages that need it? Currently we have in Debian: libjs-jquery: 1.3.3 libjs-jquery-ui: 1.7.2 libjs-flot: 0.5 Any package that needs a JavaScript Library just symlinks to file it needs. E.g. libjs-jquery provides (among others) the file /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js The Trac package has a symlink /usr/share/pyshared/trac/htdocs/js/jquery.js to the above file. For Windows-Users it might better to have a kind of Trac meta-package, which contains not only Trac and jQuery, but also other important dependencies, i.e. Python libraries. Whenever I have to work with Windows, I feel relieved, when there is an installer with all I need. Just remember the alternative is that every plugin has its own copy. However much work it might be to retrofit Trac to use a central version, it will be much harder to do this for every plugin that wants to use jQuery UI. --Noah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group.

RE: [Trac] About including jQuery UI in Trac ...
Quoting Noah Kantrowitz n...@coderanger.net: Just remember the alternative is that every plugin has its own copy. However much work it might be to retrofit Trac to use a central version, it will be much harder to do this for every plugin that wants to use jQuery UI. No question: This would be worse. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group. To post to this group, send email to trac-us...@googlegroups.com.
