After googling the internet for hours I managed to get the perfect trac + svn setup. Because we use contractors at work, I needed a setup where the security is global but at the same time based on project by project basis. Therefore trac uses a global .htaccess and svn uses the authz file for authentication. At the moment this is working greate. To set up a new trac project is simply a case of creating the project, copying a base projects database and config file and then editing the new project’s config file.
We use a base project that is configured for all our core developers, which means im not adding the same permissions and groups all the time.
How I configured it:
apache svn config:
<Location /projects/test2> DAV svn # Set this to the path to your repository SVNPath /var/svn/test2 AuthType Basic AuthName "Test2 Project" AuthUserFile /var/trac/.htpasswd AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/authz Require valid-user </Location></pre> <strong>apache trac config:</strong> <pre><VirtualHost *:80> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond /var/trac/$1 -d RewriteRule ^/([^/.]+)(/?.*) /trac.cgi$2 [S=1,E=TRAC_ENV:/var/trac/$1] ServerAdmin tim@domain.com ServerName trac.domain.com DocumentRoot /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi <Directory /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> Alias /trac "/usr/share/trac/htdocs" <Location /> SetEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR "/var/trac" SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/trac/egg_cache <Location> DirectoryIndex trac.cgi ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.trac.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.trac.log combined </VirtualHost>
The above configuration means that all users are in one file, and can be controlled globally. Below are the plugins which i have installed and consider very helpful.
