Generally the distros have varied practices here, particularly for issues related to Trac plugins which I'm sure you'll be installing. You will no doubt need to install code that isn't packaged or packaged at the version you want. Better prepare for it, and 'virtualenv' is a great tool for creating a virtual python that allows easy pick-n-mix of both system installed and 'local' packages. It keeps your install clean and easily managed. For Apache/mod_wsgi, virtualenv is supported (see modwsgi docs). Even without virtualenv, keeping additional packages in /usr/local/lib/python2.x should be quite trivial to manage - and even easier to use. > 2) I already have an SVN set up, that didn't come with a trac.

All Trac does is use file read access to read repository log and file history (++) - for source code browser and log history and more. Point Trac to your server repository - see RepositoryAdmin help page. > 3) Does Trac support an easy way of setting SVN up so that user a can write > to SVN hierarchy s, and user b can write to SVN hierarchy t? No, see the online Subversion Book for configuring Subversion server standalone or through Apache. Trac can get updated history based on events in your repository - again see the RepositoryAdmin help page. :::simon https://www.coderesort.com http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/osimons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
