Description (last modified by )
Since a few days/few weeks every plugin installed in trac's plugins directory underneath the trac environment needs to be explicitly enabled through [components] in trac.ini.
This is a regression from earlier behaviour.
I noticed due to getting spammed to hell and back due to the SpamFilter plugin in the plugins/ directory not auto-loading.

It looks like the trouble is that line 130 compares the location of each egg to plugin_dir, but this is now a list called plugin_dirs. I am not sure why this didn't trigger an error, but the section from line 134 to 134 should be wrapped in a loop so it runs for all plugin directories.

Fixed in r3434. Thanks coderanger.
I'm not sure, though, if it wouldn't make more sense to also automatically enable plugins found in the global plugins directory…

Unfortunately there's still a slight problem with the fix. If the plugin is installed via setup.py develop -d /foo/plugins the egg.location will not match the plugin directory. I suspect the same may be true if the egg is symlinked. Not sure what to do about that however.

Yeah I wondered the same thing.

That's not a new problem: it has existed ever since the enabling/disabling stuff was added before 0.9. Definitely a separate issue (and IMHO, not much of an issue).

This was likely introduced by r3371 (global plugin directory). I don't have time to fix this now, so if somebody could take a look it would be appreciated.
