After spending some time working through the TracInstall instructions I'm left feeling that a more extensive rework is needed to simplify the steps and make it less intimidating for new users. I think this is a difficult but important task. Not unexpectedly given that it's a wiki, the TracInstall instructions have evolved into a patchwork of incomplete platform-specific caveats, but most of the document targets Linux. One of the changes I might propose for the TracInstall page is to use a virtualenv and make Linux the canonical platform, with platform-specific pages containing all the caveats for non-Linux platforms. Later on I'll raise another thread to discuss the changes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
