[Trac] Re: Managing SVN and Trac with a web interface
You might take a look at AdvancedPluginPanelPlugin [1] and SecurePluginPanelPlugin [2].

There is also TracLegos: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracLegos Its still in its early stages but it does do some of what you ask: On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 10:49:20AM -0300, Leonardo Santagada wrote: On Jul 22, 2009, at 10:01 AM, Niels Ott wrote: Hello all, we're using Trac and SVN sucessfully already here in our small University department.

The tool which we are seeking is a web interface that allows users to create and administrate their own SVN repositories - each repository equipped with its own Trac. Repository creation? Yes. Repository serving? No, because, afaik the only way to serve SVN is with apache + mod_svn. Creating an svn repository is pretty simple. As far as administering it, there are a number of Trac plugins for that Furthermore, the person creating a repository should be the Trac admin (WebAdmin plugin) and should be able to add/remove users from the project. Not sure what this means. If it means granting permissions, then yes, this is done, but not yet documented. Is there a solution available for this task? It would very cool if there was a Trac plugin that could provide such a service. Beyond the scope of a plugin, probably, at least if you're talking about creating sister projects (vs. a child of a parent project). We checked out Submin, but it doesn't provide the necessary access control functionality. Thanks in advance for your time. Again, TracLegos isn't finished yet. The real concept is to be able to template Trac project types. Jeff I think this idea is very similar to DrProject[1].

Repository serving? No, because, afaik the only way to serve SVN is with apache + mod_svn. What I used to do in this case was to config Apache to serve multiple projects under a common dir and, on creating the project through the web UI some config options dictated that the project be created under that folder and was instantly (automatically) accessible using either Apache or SVNServe ;).

Yes of course that was the initial motivation for that. I don't want to see any substantial alteration of existing code to enable to the multi-project concept, as However in this case I'm not suggesting to incorporate exactly this solution into Trac core. I'm just saying that I patched Trac this way in a relative short time and saved ours of maintanance effort (users calling me to create a repo here, I dont like it do it again, I need another, blah, blah). In fact I borrowed that mechanism from TracInterfaceCustomization. There were many other directions I envisioned to enhance this - Integrate such global handlers by creating a layer (like you just said ;o) similar to trac.env.Environment but inheriting directly from trac.core.ComponentManager (AFAICR) and offer more robust implementations - Improve repos creation - ... but I couldnt even maintain the first part, so I discarded the rest ;o) I don't think its necessary. my 0.02 PS: There are another tactics (e.g. an special env where global actions can be implemented e.g. SF.net, USLA.AR ;o) but in this case external factors disapprove this kind of solution. For example in this case a better approach could be to have a single env (with auth roles, admin, wikis and so on), and install CreateProjectPlugin ... but still repos cannot be created in such a loosely coupled manner . That's why this approach wasnt enough in that case. -- Regards, Olemis.
