Not need for complication. In theory Trac should be able to upgrade from any old version to the latest. In practice no one ever tries more than a few major versions. Assuming you are installing to a different machine (and hence you can always restart from scratch from the current installation), I would proceed as follows: - Install a recent stable version of Trac on the new machine. The latest 1.0.x should do. - Copy your Trac environment and all referenced repositories to the new machine. - Upgrade the environment with: trac-admin $ENV upgrade - Read the release notes for each of the major versions in the interval and make any required changes (e.g. to trac.ini). - If everything goes well, you should be done. If you get any errors, please report back here and ask for advice. Alternatively, you could temporarily install an older version of Trac and do a multi-step upgrade (e.g. install the latest 0.11.x and upgrade 0.9.6 => 0.11.x, then install the latest 1.0.x and upgrade 0.11.x => 1.0.x). - If anything goes wrong, restart from the first step and try a different approach. Using an older version of Trac as an intermediate step may not be that easy, due to compatibility with e.g. the DB bindings. -- Remy
