I would like to do groups, but don't know how to do it (admittedly my
project is small, so I was lazy about looking at the documentation on how to
do it, if possible)

The way I set up permissions is to create a file, and copy and paste the
list of commands into the trac-admin session - so yes, it requires
interaction.

The approach I'd suggest is looking at the python code for trac-admin, and
coding something based around it.

That said, it seems to be possible to make trac-admin command-line calls in
UNIX - our current config is Windoze.

Cheers,

:D

Subject: [Trac] Creating multiple Trac projects

Hi,
First of all congratulations on a great project! I had a Trac database up
and running in a couple of days. Admittedly I had already implemented a
Subversion system, but other than that I am a web server newbie.

Now I am trying to set up a multi project system for the company. What I
envision is allowing suitably authorised users to create projects via a web
page. When a project is created a subversion repository will be set up and
a trac database created and configured. The TracMultipleProjects page of the
wiki goes part of the way and I have got that Apache config up and running.
The bit I am struggling with now is automatically setting up the Trac
database. There is no non-interactive way of doing an initenv. Once the
environment is initialised I can get the project ini file and edit that, but
changing user access privileges and other trac-admin config is a bit harder
(requiring direct access to the database I think. arrgh!).

Has anyone written any code that will set up priviledges based on command
line arguments or a file?

Another idea which should be quite easy to implement is to add more power to
the priviledges "add" and "remove" commands by allowing regexp matching.
Does SQLite support some sort of wild cards? If so you could just pass that
straight through.

It would be useful to be able to change all of the configuration using
command line arguments to trac-admin as this would enable easy scripting
for administration purposes.

If no one has done any of this I might just have to learn python and dust of
my severley limited SQL knowledge. ;-) Is the database schema documented
anywhere?

Thanks for your time...

Felix

What about doing an "initenv"?

Already had a look at the source. It doesn't look to hard so maybe I'll
have a hack at it.

Woops, yep you can make command line calls. I guess all I need is for
initenv to take a command line arg. Maybe a file like in .ini format
that specifies all the stuff that it asks for.
