= Installing and Running Trac on Gentoo =
Trac is included in portage as of 2004/04/29. Installing is as simple as:

{{{
  emerge trac
}}}

Past that, normal Trac configuration should apply.

Someone's put together a really nice guide to setting up trac on gentoo [http://home.dju.elegiac.net/wiki/MultipleTracInstancesOnGentoo here].

There were a couple of little things that were required to make Trac on Gentoo work.

 * Make sure your berkdb and python use flags are set to 'true'!

 * '''If you have any trouble, go down to the bottom and start emerging components this is how I figured out that the svn bindings for Python weren't building, etc..''' Be sure to run the python update script if needed.

 * Once built, your alias for /trac will be different from the TracInstall doc. It'll look something like this:

{{{
Alias /trac "/var/www/yourdomainhere/htdocs/trac/"
}}}

This makes Trac all pretty, like you're used to seeing! Otherwise it's got essentially no layout.

'''''The info bellow, WILL NEED to be changed, sorry, I'll take care of this in a few hours if possible'''''

Attached is the ebuild to build trac from it's source:trunk.
To use it save and extract it to your '''PORTDIR_OVERLAY''', normally
{{{
/usr/local/portage/www-apps
}}}

Of course if you already don't have it there, add to your '''make.conf''':
{{{
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/"
}}}
So, from scratch, add the above to your '''make.conf''' and:
{{{
mkdir /usr/local/portage/
mkdir /usr/local/portage/www-apps
cd /usr/local/portage/www-apps
wget http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/attachment/wiki/TracOnGentoo/trac-svn.tar
tar zxvf trac-svn.tar
rm trac-svn.tar
}}}
To build from what Gentoo provides, although I havent tested like this, simply do:
{{{
emerge trac-svn -va
}}}

If you want to be on the edge like me:
{{{
echo =www-apps/trac-svn-1-r1 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =dev-python/pysqlite-1.1.6 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =dev-lang/swig-1.3.24 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =dev-lang/swig-1.3.24 >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo =dev-util/subversion-1.2.1 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
}}}
And you'll probably will also need to(portage will complain):
{{{
echo =net-www/apache-2.0.54-r13 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =net-www/gentoo-webroot-default-0.2 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r3 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.6-r2 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
}}}

These are the ebuilds I'm using:
{{{
dev-lang/python-2.3.5
dev-lang/swig-1.3.24
dev-util/subversion-1.2.1
dev-db/sqlite-3.2.1-r3
dev-python/pysqlite-1.1.6 [cutom ebuild - see attached]
dev-libs/clearsilver-0.9.7
dev-python/docutils-0.3.5
app-text/silvercity-0.9.5-r1
}}}
