[users] trac 0.12 for el6

[Paul Heinlein]

I get some errors trying to install trac-0.12-2.el6.rf.noarch.rpm on
my CentOS 6 machines:

Error: Package: trac-0.12-2.el6.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
Requires: python-genshi >= 0.6
Available: python-genshi-0.5.1-7.1.el6.x86_64 (base)
python-genshi = 0.5.1-7.1.el6
Error: Package: trac-0.12-2.el6.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
Requires: mod_python
Error: Package: trac-0.12-2.el6.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
Requires: python-sqlite2

I've worked around the problem by

1. Building python-genshi from the published repoforge SRPM:
python-genshi-0.6-1.rf.src.rpm. It seems to build cleanly
on CentOS 6.

2. Changing some dependencies in the trac.spec file included with
the trac-0.12-2.rf.src.rpm:

- BuildRequires and Requires from python >= 2.4 to
python >= 2.6

- BuildRequires and Requires from python-sqlite2 to
python-sqlite >= 2.3

- Requires from mod_python to mod_wsgi

I haven't taken the time to write a decent conf.d/trac.conf file that
works with mod_wsgi instead of mod_python, so I can't give you a
decent patch for the spec file. Please accept my apologies. I still
thought the information might be useful to someone.

Hi!

Thank you for the information...

I've pushed an update, will take awhile, but once it's built, it will
become available in RFX.

Why so?

python-sqlite >= 2.3

Yes, here we have a problem.

On RHEL6+ we need to require python-sqlite, which is actually provided
by the python-2.6 package, on RHEL5- we need to provide our own
python-sqlite2.

The latter I have just committed and it's in the rebuild queue, but this
means that the Trac package needs some conditional requires.

I will file a bug, but I don't have time to spare on that as I am not
managing an Trac installations at the moment, although I possibly will.

Also, Trac itself should be updated to the latest version.

- Requires from mod_python to mod_wsgi

Yes, this is another problem. Of course, mod_wsgi is the clear way to
go, but then we probably should provide a backport for at least RHEL5
and...

... this is the second big issue which I certainly won't have time to
take care of. *Please* do provide a prototype whenever you'll come up
with it.

Apologies accepted ;-)

Thanks for the heads up,
