Integrate intertrac branch in the trunk

[cboos]

The intertrac branch is now quite complete and functional.

It implements the following features:

• InterWiki links
• InterTrac links, which are kind of InterWiki links, but targeting other Tracs.
  • support for shorthand links (e.g. #T2041, [T2222])
  • support for getting the complete "title" information of the remote object being linked (only supported for sibling environments within tracd, for now)

I'll also use this ticket for attaching patches against the different 0.9 releases.

The patch was generated using the -b flag which ignored identation changes caused errors like:

trac-admin /var/trac
..........................................
    ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

cboos is aware and working on an updated patch.

Adds InterTrac and InterWiki (r2241) functionality to Trac 0.9b1. Patch applies against the .tar.gz (see note below for the .zip). Note that this patch also contains the TracDiff features (see #2028).

[cboos]

The patch attachment:trac-0.9b1-intertrac.patch was created against the trac-0.9b1.tar.gz. archive and applies cleanly on the source extracted from that archive:

$ ls -l trac-0.9b1-intertrac.patch 
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody     120577 2005-09-16 21:08 trac-0.9b1-intertrac.patch
$ cd trac-0.9b1
$ patch -p1 < ../trac-0.9b1-intertrac.patch 

However, you will have to fix manually one file (trac/versioncontrol/web_ui/__init__.py) if you try to apply the patch on the source extracted from the trac-0.9b1.zip archive (different end-of-line encoding problem). I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Works for fully qualified intertrac links but not for the aliases

Also, we're using mod-rewrite and have to specify the full /cgi-bin/<projectname>/trac.cgi for the links to work.

Would be nice if there was some easy way to simply link to the trac site you are referring to instead of putting <site>::wiki

[cboos]

I can't figure out exactly what's wrong with the description you gave above, however I guess that when you say aliases, you are referring to links to the sibling Tracs (other environments from the same TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR): this is not yet supported for anything but tracd.

If the above assumption is not correct, can you please show me:

• examples of working intertrac links
• examples of not working intertrac links
• your [intertrac] section from your trac.ini

Patch adding TracDiff, InterTrac and InterWiki features to trac-0.9b2

[cboos]

I recently (r2522) improved the support for sibling environments.

[Khairul Azhar]

I downloaded trac-0.9.tar.gz from TracDownload and tried to patch it using the following command:

patch -p0 < ../trac-0.9-intertrac.patch

The patch failed because the file 'wiki-default/checkwiki.py' did not exist. I double-checked trac-0.9.tar.gz and indeed, the file wasn't included in the gzipped file.

Any suggestions?

[cboos]

Oops, I created the patch against a checkout of 0.9:

svn co http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.9

I'll upload another patch made against the tar.gz later today.

For trying out the very latest status of that branch, it's:

svn co http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/sandbox/intertrac

[cboos]

The InterTrac and InterWiki features added to Trac 0.9 (from the repository)

The InterTrac and InterWiki features added to Trac 0.9 (from the trac-0.9.tar.gz package)

[dserodio@…]

I think this feature is ready to be merged to the trunk, what's holding it?

[pixelpapst@…]

cboos: Do the newest paches here still contain the TracDiff stuff ? (After a quick glance, i think not.) According to #2028, that has been merged to trunk in [2808] (confusing, i know :)). Does this have any implications on merging InterTrac ?

Also, i'd like to see InterTrac seperated out from InterWiki, as I think editing some of the prefixes in the config file and some of them in a wiki page is too confusing for my users. (And i can't seem to get the InterWiki part of this patch working anyhow.)

[cboos]

The newest patches don't contain the TracDiff stuff anymore, though I wouldn't call those patches new anymore :)

InterTrac is going to be merge "really soon now".

As for the InterWiki stuff, if you don't want to enable it, simply leave the InterMapTxt page empty and make it read-only.

You have some valid points though, and I think that a little clean-up for the configuration is needed.

The InterTrac should really be about interoperability between your different local projects (i.e. all the environments that can be directly read).

So here's my proposal:

• the syntax of the InterMapTxt should be expanded so that it's possible to mark sites as being Trac sites (so that the shorthand syntax work), as well as the possibility to create aliases. This would make it possible to not having to use the [intertrac] section at all.
• the [intertrac] configuration section in TracIni should be kept, so that sites without a Wiki can have InterTrac links too.
• finally, the [intertrac] configuration should be expanded in order to recognize local projects and integrate them as sibling projects (as with TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR or with TracStandalone's ability to handle multiple projects).

[cboos]

Adds InterTrac and InterWiki on 0.9-stable (applies also on 0.9.3)

[cboos]

The branch has been merged in trunk for milestone:0.10 (r2839).

There's also a new patch for the 0.9-stable branch. But if you want InterTrac, you should really upgrade to 0.10, as:

• you'll get some other interesting stuff (e.g. TracDiff)
• it's more likely to get fixes and enhancements for InterTrac itself.

Speaking of those, if there's any issue with InterTrac on trunk, please fill a new ticket for it.
