[TYPO3-typo3org] Request: Move trac to a t3.org subdomain

[Sebastian Kurfuerst]

Hi Andreas,

I just looked again into the documentation of TRAC to compare the access
control systems. I noticed that you can manage all the rights we have
now globally, but it is not easily possible to add sub-projects of
projects, (like we have today, typo3_core->css_styled_content).
I then wanted to check how multiple projects could run from within one
trac instance - see [1]. It would work technically, but it wouldn't be
possible to move issues from one project to another. While this seems
quite improboable at first sight to need such a feature, real-life
experiences have shown that differently.
As seen in [1], Trac will change this complete separation of projects in
the longer term, and I agree with Ingmar that we should continue
watching the project.

Great, then we are talking about the same thing! DNS enables us to host
*typo3.org servers whereever we want, so f.e. wiki.typo3.org is hosted
at elios, and not at punkt.de. We think the trac instance we have
currently will be available under source.typo3.org soon.

We are right now in the process of evaluating single-signon and testing
it in a typo3.org development environment to connect all the different
logins. Stay tuned :-)

Thanks for pushing the issue of the multiple logins to get things started.

Greets, Sebastian

Can I manage multiple projects from a single installation of Trac? ¶

(or do I have to setup a different directory for each one?)

Only one installation is required, then for each project create an
Environment (using trac-admin <fooproj> initenv). They will be separate
projects, all handled by the same installation of Trac.

Note: Right now there is no support for sharing information between
projects.

The rationale for this is that the scope of Trac (1.0) is to manage a
single project, and do it well. Support for larger multi-project
management adds a lot of complexity, but is planned for post-1.0
development, probably as a separate framework around Trac.
