trac repository

[Richard Page]

Recently new to trac so bear with me:

I have recently installed and am wondering if there is one repository for all trac projects or one for each. What is svn used for in trac, does it put any of the trac data into svn??

Trac does not store any data in svn, you store your source code (or whatever) in subversion and Trac can link to it to display changesets etc. This comes in useful if you link tickets to changesets (using subversion's post-commit hook, trac's commit_updater and wiki markup in the comments, see [1])

As to how many trac <-> svn, that is really up to you. Personally, we have one svn per trac as I think it is easier in the long run to handle projects in their own subversion repo (where the projects are unrelated, at least). Note also that you could have one trac for multiple repos and handle separate projects as `components` in Trac...

1 repo for 1 trac project - that's what a TRAC project is ;-)

You can connect a source control repository to TRAC,
and have a direct relation between a TRAC ticket and
a commit. That's not part of a basic TRAC installation.

You could even use a TRAC project as a plain wiki - by
turning off the ticket and milestone stuff ;-)

Have a nice day,
