If you want to install it on a older release, please be sure to rebuild it ( use rpm —rebuild trac….src.rpm ), do not install binary cooker package on any stable distribution, as it will break your installation ( ​http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ticket/279 ).

If the release tag seems weird, please look at this page ​http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DistroSpecificReleaseTag

For 10.2, a wizard was added, just install drakwizard-trac, run drakwizard, and follows the instructions.
