Hi,

I'm missing something obvious, how to execute Trac in-place as it was
possible before the deployment of setuptools?

To set up a development version of Trac, the following command is used:

python setup.py develop --install-dir = <path>

My concern is about "<path>": setuptools installs some files in this
directory - such as tracd and trac-admin, which means that <path>
should be different for each Trac development branch: each
installation would overwrite the files from the previous installation
in the same <path> directory.

It seems that <path> cannot be the current directory (i.e. the
directory that contains the "setup.py" file: when tracd is started,
setuptools enters an endless loop and eventually triggers a "Too many
open files" error.

So, what is the recommended way to check out and run several branches
of Trac on a machine?
Should I create a dedicated directory for each dev. branch and install
a 'develop' version of Trac in this new directory ?

TIA,
Manu
