FYI: Trac 0.11.5 available on Debian

[W. Martin Borgert]

Hi,

this is just a note to Trac users who run it on Debian or
derived distributions such as Ubuntu.

If you run Debian testing ("squeeze") or unstable ("sid"), you
can install Trac 0.11.5. If you run stable 5.0 ("lenny"), just
wait a couple of days (hopefully) and install it from Debian
backports.org. Please test this version and report any problems.

The following Trac plugins are currently packaged in Debian:

trac-accountmanager - account management plugin for Trac
trac-authopenid - OpenID authentication plugin for Trac
trac-bzr - Bazaar version control (bzr) backend for Trac
trac-email2trac - Creates and amends Trac tickets from e-mail
trac-git - Git version control backend for Trac
trac-ja-resource - Japanese resources for trac
trac-mercurial - Mercurial version control backend for Trac
trac-spamfilter - Spam-prevention plugin for Trac

On the Debian todo list are Bitten, CustomFieldAdmin, Graphviz,
MasterTickets, TagsPlugin, WikiTicketCalendar, WYSIWYG, and
XML-RPC. No promises, however.

Thanks for your attention.

It looks to me as if trac, through apache, was looking for sqlite

it ?

I'm just curious : Did you use the Debian pkg ? Does it rely on
`easy_install` (/me not understanding why ...) ?

If true that means there's something wrong with the deb . Otherwise ,
don't see the relation with this thread, thus probably a separate
thread would be better to talk about this (and therefore /me invites
everybody to reply in a separate thread ;o) .

I believe I did, as I'm running Trac on Ubuntu :

The error comes since an update, but the question is which update :
trac (previous to 0.11.5), python (2.5 to 2.6), apache (2.0 to 2.2),
system (came from 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon to 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope) ?

dpkg -l trac gives
ii trac 0.11.1-2.1 Enhanced wiki
and issue tracking system for software development projects

But you can install it directly (i.e. without using the apt system ;o)
and if you do it then there's noting wrong with the deb pkg

Are you sure ?

0.11.5 > 0.11.1-2.1

:P

[brice]

This is it !
Firstly Trac has been installed through apt-get, then, due to an
optimistic behavior, I might have launched the python 'easy_install
install Trac' to update it, without any parameter whereas I shoud have
had some '--prefix=/usr', I now believe. On the contrary, easy_install
could also check dpkg.

Here is where I am :
some directories under /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ :
Trac-0.11.1.egg-info
TracWebAdmin-0.1.2dev_r5911-py2.5.egg
trac

and some eggs under /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/:
Genshi-0.5.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg
Trac-0.11.5-py2.6.egg

what's your opinion, Doc ?

That's the *current* madness inherent to Pyland pkg management .

No further comments

Please, never ever overwrite dpkg-installed packages (be it via apt-get
or dpkg or aptitude) with manually installed software. If you really
want to have Trac (or any other software on a Debian or Ubuntu system)
manually installed, make sure that you install it in another path (e.g.
/usr/local) than the packaged software (which does never install in
/usr/local). Or, even safer, remove the package first ("dpkg -r trac").
Otherwise, the package manager and the actually installed software do
conflict badly.

[Olemis Lang]

+1 ... Most of the time I try to avoid Python pkg management (mainly
because it has many problems and also 'cause apt is awesome :o). These
days I use to build deb source pkgs using `stdeb` (not perfect but apt
gets involved ;o)

[brice]

thanks for your comments, I won't do it anymore, promess you.
Now, where's the reverse way ?

mv trac bad_trac_old; ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
Trac-0.11.5-py2.6.egg/trac
changes the error into :

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/web/chrome.py", line

any trick for genshi ?-)
Of course I would dislike to loose existing trac project !

[brice]

OK, I found the reverse way : stop trac; dpkg -P trac; rm -rf on the
python directories, apt-get install trac; start trac.
Hopefully, it works.
I won't use the last version, too tricky.
