Where To get info about trac in debian

Installing Trac

To install trac just write in console:

apt-get install trac

This will get you the plain trac instalation. You can also install plugins that support other version control system besides Subversion: Their packages are:

  • trac-git :: adds suport for the Git distributed version control system
apt-get install trac-git

  • trac-mercurial :: adds suport for the mecurial distributed version control system
apt-get install trac-mercurial
  • trac-bzr :: adds suport for the bzr distributed version control system

(at this point trac-bzr in debian is not compatible with trac 0.11, check http://bugs.debian.org/490193 )

apt-get install trac-bzr

There is also an important plugin to prevent spam on tickets, spamfilter

apt-get install spam filter

Trac is installed in /usr/share/pyshared/trac and has no other place for files except /usr/share/doc and the tracd and trac-admin man-pages.
