    5 As has been previously pointed out, a Debian package does not exist, hence you need to build it yourself. This isn't ''too'' onerous if you know where you might get bitten. Hopefully the following should be of some use.
    6 
    7 '''Warning''': The instructions within will modify your system from the standard Debian install. Some packages will be pulled from the unstable distribution, and some packages are installed manually on your system. This may make it difficult to uninstall the software, or upgrade it in the future as Debian packages arrive. But for what it's worth, this setup seems to work fine.
    8 
    9 First you need the SQLite, Subversion and the related python modules. Note that you need to use the version of subversion from unstable. Don't worry as Debians unstable is not really unstable, it's about as stable as typical redhat packages.
    10 
    11 You might want to use apt-pinning, which is basically a way of stopping unstable dependancies from getting installed all over the place (try this [http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html guide for beginners]). Create or edit '''{{{/etc/apt/preferences}}}''' and insert
     3Debian packages for Trac and a few dependencies doesn't exist in the Debian Woody distribution. Fortunately the Edgewall ftp-server
     4has the missing packages. Add the following lines to your '''/etc/apt/sources.list''':
    125
    136{{{
    14 Package: *
    15 Pin: release a=testing
    16 Pin-Priority: 650
    17                                                                                                
    18 Package: *
    19 Pin: release a=unstable
    20 Pin-Priority: 600
     7# Trac, clearsilver, sqlite, pysqlite
     8deb ftp://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/debian woody trac
     9deb-src http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/debian woody trac
    2110}}}
    2211
    23 You'll also need to add unstable to the '''{{{/etc/apt/sources.list}}}'''
     12Run {{{apt-get update}}} after editing the file to update the package cache.
    2413
     14Installing Trac and the required dependencies should now be as simple as:
    2515{{{
    26 deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
    27 deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing non-free
    28 deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing contrib
    29 deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main
    30 deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
     16apt-get install trac
    3117}}}
    3218
    33 Thats what mine looks like
     19'''Note:''' When installing trac you might get some harmless warnings when the installation process
     20byte-compiles some source files.
    3421
    35 {{{
    36 apt-get install sqlite python2.3-subversion python2.3-sqlite
    37 apt-get -t unstable install subversion
    38 }}}
    39 
    40 Clearsilver isn't available as a package so get clearsilver from http://www.clearsilver.net/ (tested [http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/clearsilver-0.9.8.tar.gz 0.9.8])
    41 
    42 {{{
    43 tar xvfz clearsilver-0.9.8.tar.gz
    44 cd clearsilver-0.9.8
    45 ./configure
    46 make
    47 make install
    48 cd python/
    49 ln -s /usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/bin/python
    50 make
    51 make install
    52 }}}
    53 
    54 This should then allow you to build and initialise trac.
    55 
    56 Note:  I found I needed to change the first line in scripts/document.py from '#!/usr/local/bin/python' to '#!/usr/bin/python' --Tom Hoffman
    57 
    58 When you come to running it though you'll also have to add the env_module using the following line in your '''{{{/etc/apache/modules.conf}}}'''
    59 
    60 {{{
    61 LoadModule env_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_env.so
    62 }}}
    63 
    64 I then set up a trac.conf in my '''{{{/etc/apache/conf.d}}}''' folder like so
    65 
    66 {{{
    67 <VirtualHost local.trac>
    68     alias /trac/ "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/"
    69     ServerAdmin youremail@yourdomain.tld
    70     DocumentRoot /home/tim/myTrac
    71     ServerName local.trac
    72     ErrorLog /home/tim/myTrac/logs/error.log
    73     CustomLog /home/tim/myTrac/logs/access_log common
    74     AddHandler cgi-script cgi
    75     <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
    76       SetEnv TRAC_DB "/home/tim/myTrac/tracdb/mydb"
    77       Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    78       AllowOverride None
    79     </Location>
    80 </VirtualHost>
    81 }}}
    82 Don't forget to create those log folders though (apachectl configtest doesn't warn you about that one)
    83 
    84 
    85 
    86 
     22The rest of the installation process is as described in TracInstall (section "Creating a Project Environment" and forward).
