Within svn, the externals stuff works fine. At least it does in the svn client I use on Linux. > I tried and tried to get this working [1], and finally gave up, thinking > that the problem might be that the external Trac is 0.10.x ... though it > doesn't seem like that should make a difference. > > Any chance you could post a working configuration here?

Perhaps this is because I am using the multirepos trac release? In the trac browser, I see the things directly in the repository. Then under that trac writes: Property svn:externals set to followed by a list of all the externals. If I click on one of these external links, I am taken to: http://system/svn/externalRepo which is the svn repo itself. I am not taken to http://system/trac/browse/externalRepo which is what I would expect. So, it is the svn and not the trac password that is being prompted for. It is of little use as I do not want the svn http access. I want the trac browser access. So, I would not say I really have things working. Instead, I use the multirepo version of trac. It has its own oddities. But for the most part I can access via trac all of the stuff I have in svn. I would prefer that the externals method worked so I could stay with the main trac releases. I do not have any external stuff set up in my trac config. Instead, as I use the multirepos release, I have a [repositories] section with all the external repos listed. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
