Upgrade 0.10 to 0.11 - where did cgi-bin go?

[kfsone]

Operating System: Fedora Core 6
Install method: Manual install or easy_install
Previous version: 0.10
New version: 0.11
Content delivery method: FastCGI via Apache

The TracUpgrade page suggests that you will want to remove the cgi-bin
etc, but the Apache configuration page recommends that you remove the
0.10 /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin (and friends).

So I made a folder /usr/share/trac/from-0.10 and moved the folders
listed into this subdirectory.

I ran 'python setup.py install' as root ... Everything went thru, I
upgraded my two environments and their wikis in /usr/local/trac/...

I ran an updatedb and did locate fcgi

[kfsone@fres1 ~]$ locate fcgi
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac-0.10/web/fcgi_frontend.py
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac-0.10/web/fcgi_frontend.pyc

_fcgi.pyc
/usr/share/trac/backup-from-0.10/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi
/home/kfsone/Trac-0.11/trac/admin/templates/deploy_trac.fcgi
/home/kfsone/Trac-0.11/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py

/home/kfsone/Trac-0.11/build/lib/trac/admin/templates/deploy_trac.fcgi
/home/kfsone/Trac-0.11/build/lib/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py
/home/kfsone/Trac-0.11/build/lib/trac/web/_fcgi.py

the latter being the files in the install location. I tried running
easy_install as well, but it made no difference.

So now I am confused. The documentation at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFastCgi
still says to use:

ScriptAlias / /srv/tracsite/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/

But there's no cgi-bin ... Is there a step in the upgrade process I am
missing? I've tried putting the old cgi-bin, templates, wiki-docs etc
back, which makes the site sorta-work until I try to view a ticket...
Well, no surprise there.

Am I missing some obvious step? I've gone over TracInstall,
TracUpgrade and TracFastCgi a bunch of times, I've spent 2 hours
searching and reading thru what I hoped would be related posts, blog
entries, wiki pages, etc...

Tearing hair out here and I have a bunch of angry producers
threatening to manually insert tickets into me :)

Use `trac-admin /path/to/env deploy` to generate the *gi files. I am
thinking I may rework this slightly for 0.12 (and maybe 0.11.1 if
people feel this question is getting too common) so that it also
generates the *gi files at initenv in a cgi-bin/ subfolder of the env.
I think this would serve to make this feature much more discoverable.

Mostly I think the issue is that the documentation covering this section
is still 0.10 based giving you explicit instructions that make things
incremently worse :)

Do you have to use this method? Or can you just copy the files from the
cgi-bin source folder?

I ask this from a distro packaging perspective where we want to provide
a trac-{fcgi,cgi} package. The only thing the user needs to do is to
update a variable in the config file to point at their trac env path...

Is this generally frowned upon now? (or will it simply not work?)
