This is scary. Google App Engine is so popular, because it has nice stuff for developers. If Trac had better dev. tools - it could have bigger adoption and better coverage in blogs and more patches landing on t.e.o. Needless to say that with proper tools trac-hacks would have been already migrated to at least 0.11 > certainly when many decent alternatives exists.

The abundance of installation recipes always was a annoyance for me. It is good to have diversity, but the drawback of this is that you must be a very advanced user and know all technologies to make the right choice. You may, of course, just randomly choose some solution and follow that, but tech-savvy people usually don't welcome that approach. > Personally I use apache/mod_wsgi a lot for development, and have a > custom .wsgi script using the monitoring described on this page: > > http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ReloadingSourceCode > > That way I can for instance add easy-install.pth to the file list to > be monitored, so that whenever i install or update any plugins, the > deamon process restarts itself and loads the new code. mod_wsgi rocks, but its an Apache-only solution, which is not trendy at the moment. Why waste time for Apache/mod_wsgi config when there are plenty of Python-based servers that work out of the box. Apache is an overkill for occasional plugin development. -- anatoly t. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
