= 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.

== Install Trac from Source ==

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-1.tar
tar xvf trac-svn-1.tar
rm trac-svn-1.tar
mkdir /usr/local/portage/dev-python
cd /usr/local/portage/dev-python
wget http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/attachment/wiki/TracOnGentoo/pysqlite-1.1.6.tar
tar xvf pysqlite-1.1.6.tar
rm pysqlite-1.1.6.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
}}}
