How would I hook Trac up to multiple repositories?

Question

in this case I don't want to use the ticketing system or the wiki, simply connect it to browse multiple repos.

I would think it would be as easy as having a script update the repository link in its conf.ini file every time you wanted to look at a new repo, right?

Answer 1

There's been much talk about doing this but currently it's unsupported by Trac.

You would need to make multiple instances of Trac, one for each repository. You can't just change the configuration file as Trac stores a bunch of information about the repository in its database and doing that would break it.

Answer 2

Your best bet would be to use one of the various trac alternatives such as Redmine or DrProject or (if I may pimp myself) piano-man.

Answer 3

If you just want to browse the repositories, you may want to use WebSVN.

You can setup Trac so that it has one trac-wiki per repository. To my knowledge, it exactly is one trac-wiki per repository, though, and under a different URL.

Answer 4

One of the reasons I stopped using TRAC is this particular problem.

Answer 5

I think from 0.12 trac will support multiple repositories in one trac project: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/0.12/TracRepositoryAdmin
