[Trac] Using a svn repository subdirectory path (or managing mult projects in 1 repo)

2007-10-08 Thread Chris Black

My main question is about how to get trac to only look at a subdirectory 
of a repository rather than the whole thing. That is, we have a repo 
with top-level dirs for "common", "proj1" and "proj2". I would like to 
create a trac instance for "proj1" that limits the timeline and source 
browsing to only files within the svn proj1 dir. I see the 
repository_dir gets set to the root of the repo (/home/svn/repos/sw in 
our case) and setting it to something else causes trac to fail. I was 
wondering if there was some "filter" method of accomplishing this.

The overall environment is that we would like to have separate ticket, 
milestone, timeline, browse, etc areas for each project as well as 
having one for "all" which handles tracking "common" and has links to 
the others and can show all source changes.


Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Chris

It sounds to me like an apache config issue I had awhile back when 
trying to add vhosts to a server that also hosted svn. I would 
investigate your apache svn set up. I am fairly certain this is not 
trac's fault as I have trac referencing my svn repository via a readonly 
NFS mount right now in a test environment. Check your apache logs and 
config and make sure all your paths are right in terms of svn commands 
as well.

Best,
Chris

You have to be logged in as a user with TRAC_ADMIN rights for it to show up.
trac-admin /path/to/tracEnv permission add balaji TRAC_ADMIN

A good alternative here is to use the ticket-workflow section of 
trac.ini to define a new state "done" or "needstesting". You can then 
make it so devels can not resolve tickets, only set them to "done", then 
you (or someone w/ proper prerms) can query everything in this state and 
change them to closed/resolved with a resolution of "tested" (you can 
easily create custom resolutions in trac). This is what I am doing for 
our trac (still in the process of testing/research), but keep in mind I 
am using 0.11 and I am not sure of the status of some of these features 
in 0.10.x.

Best,
Chris

[Trac] PrivateTickets for 0.11

2007-11-01 Thread Chris Black

We have been working on moving to trac and decided to go with 0.11 due 
to the customizable workflow engine and extra permissions. Unfortunately 
I can not figure out how to make a submit-only user that can also see 
the ticket they submitted (but no other tickets that they are not 
associated with). We have set it up so these users have TICKET_CREATE 
access and nothing else which allows them to login, get an error about 
insufficient permissions (since they can not view the default wiki 
page), click new ticket, submit a ticket, and then get another 
insufficient permissions error. The ticket does get submitted but we 
imagine the error will be confusing and would like the user to be able 
to see their own tickets. It seems like the PrivateTickets plugin is 
exactly what we need but is not available for 0.11. Is there anything I 
can do to get the functionality we desire?

Best,
Chris

Two questions:
1. What do you mean by "lack of tuits"?
2. Could you give me some links/info about context-refactoring? Will it 
be easy to upgrade from current 0.11 to a post-context-refactoring version?

SVN 1.4+ has svnsync available which is also an option. It can be set up 
to run as a commit hook and push out/sync changesets to a list of mirror 
repositories or just be scheduled for periodic sync.

Agreed, the plugins on trac-hacks are super important to the usefulness 
of trac for many people, no doubt. A well-known/linked mirror or even 
better an easily changeable DNS record would be ideal so that plugins 
can always be downloaded (or the downloads can be fixed quickly) 
regardless of the status of the primary trac-hacks server.

On the other hand, I understand that trac-hacks has undergone some 
changes recently (moved to a new machine I believe?) and therefore 
understand how this downtime can happen and am grateful for those 
maintaining the service.

Best,
Chris

First of all, thanks very much for getting t-h back up in October and 
the further work on moving it to the new server and working with apache.

A prominent link from trac.edgewall.org, a url like 
mirror.trac-hacks.org, or the ability to easily be pointed to as 
"www.trac-hacks.org" when the main server goes down.

For those seeing the js and css but not seeing the button to actually go 
into wysiwyg mode, I believe the problem may be that the plugin is not 
fully enabled. To fully enable it, you not only have to put the bit in 
trac.ini as described, but you must also restart the webserver under 
some configurations (such as mod_python).

Hope this helps someone,
Chris
