Description
The attached patch introduces the use of the attribute "shared_dir" within siteconfig.py.
This addition does not change the existent behaviour, thus installations do not break.
A user _can_ set this attribute and delete all existent default... attributes (which contain redundant path information).
Existent default... attributes have priority over the shared_dir attribute.

- Keywords setuptools inheritance added
- Owner changed from jonas to cmlenz
an possible implementation, which would be backwards compatible even if setuptools is introduced would be:
- apply the patch
- use the planned setuptools package-data
- if siteconfig.py is existent, the locations override the package-data

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Closing, as wontfix (or cannotfix) in the way suggested.
Reasoning:
The trac-code is read-only-data and must remain free of any configuration data.
new patch with corrected name of option "parent_env"
