Trac on SuSE Linux

​http://www.suse.com/images/suse.png

Trac works well on both SuSE 9.0 and 9.1, using the distributed RPMs.

Additional packages required for Trac installation can be found at:

​http://monsters.rsn.uni-rostock.de/pkg/suse/9.0/

or

​http://monsters.rsn.uni-rostock.de/pkg/suse/9.1/

Since monsters doesn't yet have 9.1 packages, SuSE 9.1 supplementary packages are also available at

​http://trac.teleologic.net/packages_9.1/

If you're installing from the generic package not the rpm you need to add python development packages to be able to run python ./setup.py install

Another man's tale

I wanted to install trac .8 which as of Jan 13, 2005 didn't have a SuSe rpm. Most of the install went relatively smoothly if it didn't take a while to track (no pun intended) down all the rpms. One thing I wanted to use was an existing repository created on windows with sqlite v3. To upgrade SuSe's sqlite to v3 I had to uninstall the existing sqlite via Yast - it also uninstalled the old python bindings. I found the new rpm's here ​http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=%2FDevelopment%2Fsqlite and make sure you Yast install both the sqlite3-3.0.7-1suse91.i686.rpm and the sqlite3-devel-3.0.7-1suse91.i686.rpm. Then to get the python bindings going - since I couldn't find any rpm's you download the source pysqlite-1.1.6.tar.gz from pysqlite's main page. Then extract that to your hard drive and run:

• python setup.py build
• python setup.py install

as shown in the readme.

As of Feb 2, 2005, ​pbleser's sqlite SuSE RPM packages appear to have been moved to ​http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/Libraries/sqlite
