Windows is a Different World(tm). I was working in Linux. The client
wanted a personally instlallable, manageable, replicatable, Trac
service. I wanted them to be able to do so safely and securely, so
that the normal Apache services of this and other tools couldn't step
on their dedicated Trac environment. This led me to suexec, which I've
dealt with before and used to work quite well with Trac, but the whole
Trac deployment architecture changed with version 0.12, and the RPM
contents changed significantly to go with it, so it took some
re-engineering.
Basically, I had to replicate the old deployment technique of setting
up a full Trac repository, with its own CGI script, to get the
per-Trac repository control I wanted. Unfortunately, I left my notes
at that contract. I could ask them for a copy, if it would be useful
to folks here.
