Using Buildout to manage Trac instances

This page documents how to create one or several Trac instance with ​Buildout. Buildout is a Python-based build system for creating, assembling and deploying applications from multiple parts.

Because ​Trac is released as eggs you can use Buildout to manage Trac instances, which will lower the maintenance effort. Thus, an ongoing effort is made by the ​pbp.recipe.trac project to provide an easy mechanism to deploy and maintain Trac instances.

There are several lines of pbp.recipe.trac:

• pbp.recipe.trac 0.4.x for Trac 0.12 support
• pbp.recipe.trac 0.3.x for Trac 0.11 support
• pbp.recipe.trac 0.2.x for Trac 0.10 support

Only the 0.4.x branch is currently developed.

A tutorial and usage example is available here: ​http://kevin.deldycke.com/2010/12/automate-trac-instance-deployment-buildout/
