Step 1. Backups Shutdown the Apache web-server Backup the /var/www/cgi-bin trac files Backup the Trac project directory
Step 2. Delete old Trac yum erase trac, and yes, verify the egg files are gone. (see Note 1) “ The upgrade document mentions "share/trac" there is no such path anywhere on my system - what is it talking about? “ This is your actual Trac project directory. 'share/trac' is just a basic default. Your location is obviously different. Those Apache cgi-bin Trac configuration scripts will point the way. Step 3. Install new Trac cd to a download/temp directory and: svn co http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/0.12-stable 0.12dev cd 0.12dev sudo python ./setup.py install (yes, this method will grab all needed software) sudo su - trac-admin /path/to/trac/project upgrade trac-admin /path/to/trac/project wiki upgrade Step 4. Finalize Restore the /var/www/cgi-bin trac files (see Note 2) Restart the Apache web server Those are the simplest instructions I can offer on the matter. Not trying to complicate things, and you can completely ignore this: What I like to do in these matters: sudo easy_install virutalenv mkdir ~/dev/DEV-Trac virutalenv ~/dev/DEV-Trac . ~/dev/DEV-Trac/bin/activate svn 'trac/trac-plugins/anything' while in that environment, test and deploy when satisfied, before committing to an actual production server blindly. If your interested in such a process, I highly recommend reading up on the virtualenv. Note 1: I was unsure as to how you were going to remove Trac. If by hand, you were going to need to know your arch (lib or lib64). lsb_release would give you that information hence why I posted it. Your right, it has nothing to do with Trac. I had no idea Fedora did not come with the lsb_release... shame on them! Note 2. (adjust your apache trac configuration accordingly), this is basically what I meant, (restore a backup). Again, I had no idea which direction you were going to choose for trac removal. If by yum erase, surely that would of deleted your Apache trac conf files (but I am not 100% sure)... and we don't really want that. Because again, your right, there should be no difference between the Apache configuration for a newer version of Trac. The good news here, if you perform the above, it will be far easier to upgrade Trac in the future. Stop Apache Delete Trac eggs svn newest version of Trac, sudo ./setup.py install trac-admin path/to/trac upgrade (sometimes not even necessary) trac-admin path/to/trac wiki upgrade (sometimes not even necessary) Start Apache.
