The downloadable rpms are for both ​RedHat and ​Fedora Core (both 1 and 2).

Lee asks: Does the Fedora RPM install the dependencies listed on Trac's install page? I ask because I installed the Trac Fedora RPM and the install went smoothly, but Trac is not accessable on the system and its dependencies are not installed.

EricHopper replies: It does not. I had to hunt down all of the dependencies myself. They did all exist in RPM form, which is good.

Possible problems

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

No module named neo_cgi

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi", line 25, in ?
    trac.core.cgi_start()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac/core.py", line 477, in cgi_start
    send_pretty_error(e, None)

    import neo_cgi
ImportError: No module named neo_cgi

Solution : The actual python-clearsilver package (0.9.8-1) installs the lib for python2.2. You'll have to symlink /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/neo_cgi.so in actual version's folder (man ln :) )

Has anyone got this to run on Fedora Core? I am getting the following errors:
