The recommended approach in this case is to use [inherit] file option in trac.ini and configure DB in an external file (empty by default?) . We use this in Bloodhound default installation to inherit in trac.ini the configs specified in base.ini . Inheritance levels are unlimited (afaict , but 2-3 levels should be enough ...) -- Regards, Olemis - @olemislc Apache™ Bloodhound contributor http://issues.apache.org/bloodhound http://blood-hound.net Blog ES: http://simelo-es.blogspot.com/ Blog EN: http://simelo-en.blogspot.com/ Featured article: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
