I wanted to thank everyone for all the help on the list. I now have
trac set up on RHEL WS 4, apache 2, postgres and subversion. I'm
currently using HTTP basic auth, but I will be moving to our
enterprise web authentication system (cookie based) or mod_auth_ldap
as a fall back.

There are four apache locations set up so that projects from each
group could be displayed and listed together using Trac's automatic
multiple project listing ability.
The first modifications I made was to add project.cs templates for
the project listing pages. Each category has it's own template,
mostly to allow different titles. The templates were built using the
same SSI .html files used to define everything but the content on the
static pages.
The next modifications were to the trac header.cs and trac.css file.
Both files were first copied to a -orig so I had the originals for
comparison or regression (no I didn't put this into subversion yet).
Wanting to change as little as possible, I was able to get a custom
design by only changing the header file and leaving all the "content"
templates alone. Again some of the .html files were included,
although the header banner is slightly different from the static
pages to account for the different needs of the Trac pages. Trac.css
was modified in conjunction with the changes to header.cs. Minor
changes to the css file allowed link colors in the content area to
match.
One other minor change was made to env.py. I wanted the web admin to
be automatically included with any new trac environment set up. Even
though I have scripted the steps to create a project (svn, postgress,
then trac), editing in the extra lines to the config files would be
nice to have happen automatically. So added one line to env.py to add
in the web admin:
self.config.set('trac', 'database', db_str)
self.config.set('components', 'webadmin.*', 'enabled') #added
That's it so far, if I figure anything else out I'll try and share
back to the list.
