[Trac] Re: Trac site template
Its a day after I planned to reply, so I figured I'd update on the status of TracLegos. You can see what's going on here: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracLegosScript Its at a state now where its semi-usable, though its still more of an alpha than a beta. Very much unimplemented but needed features include: * format for permissions, milestones, components, and other information settable by trac-admin Still not done. * DB creation for non-sqlite cases Likewise. * repository options; this is hinted at in the web view, but none of the radio buttons displayed at are currently functional Now new repositories can be created, but they aren't served anywhere (no apache.conf files are written and the paste web view does not serve them either) * installation of requirements for plugins via PoachEggs [2] This is semi-done. I've commented out the code, however, as at least on my system PoachEggs barfs if the same requirements file is installed twice. I'm in contact with the author and hope to get this fixed soon (that is, if either of us can figure out the problemhe doesn't seem to have it). * permission checking on TTW interface Not yet done. Advised to use the web view behind a firewall for the time being. * tools to turn existing trac projects into templates Yep, in simple form: run `paster create -t trac_project name_of_your_template` and answer some questions (an example is shown on the trac-hacks wiki page) I hesitate to give the source out, as its in such an early stage that it probably isn't useful yet, but if you are curious it is available at https://svn.openplans.org/svn/trac/install/TracLegos/ Moved; now at http://trac-hacks.org/svn/traclegosscript/anyrelease/ The README might be worthwhile, though it is bit dated (documentation never keeps up with coding). I'd be curious if this sort of thing would be useful to people. Also, not a bad time for feature requests and feedback. Still looking for feedback ;) Maybe this is partially redundant with tracforge, but I think the approach is a little different (or maybe not). If I get TracLegos a bit more mature then I'll let people know. I'm going to put it up locally for our developers, so then progress will largely be on an 'as-needed' basis for us unless someone else takes an interest in the idea.

[Trac] Re: Trac site template
That's a good question. Being basically a standalone package, I would guess it should work with Trac 10.4 (though of course, the templates may require features for 0.11 or any other version for that matter), but I haven't tried it. So my guess is yes, but I haven't tried.
