Trac 0.12 was just released. We should install it while installation is
still fresh in our minds, so that we don't get stuck behind.

Comment:

I could really use the [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiRename page
rename] feature right now, which is in 0.12. I'm planning some page re-
organization on osgeo4w so that the relationship between some packages and
components is clearer. It looks like the only route I have available at
the moment is to delete and recreate a new page with the proper name and
paste old content. This would achieve my aim, but sacrifice version
history.

For the pages I'm concerned with at the moment losing history is not huge
deal, but goes against the grain of what maintaining history is about in
the first place.

Other notable desirable
[http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.12 improvements in
0.12] are:
  * side-by-side mode with automatic preview
  * editable comments (with appropriate permissions). This would help clean
up the clutter created when people add new comments just to fix a bad url
or typo
  * there's wording about "multi-project" support, which certainly sounds
applicable to Osgeo

There are some
[http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.12#Caveats caveats]
none of which look serious to me, though there could be some extra work if
any projects are using text templates.

I understand you need to consider the impact on many places when upgrading
a system which involves so many projects and that upgrading could take
some time to complete. So I don't expect immediate or even soonish
results. I would appreciate some kind of timeline if possible so that I
can judge whether it's worth it for me to hold out or not. Thanks!

A clone of the existing Trac server has been requested at OSL. Once that's
up we can try an upgrade to see what we break.

What's the current status? It's almost 22 months when this wish has been
reported...

Thanks, Martin

tracsvn2.osgeo.osuosl.org was created as a clone of the Trac server. We
need a new volunteer to attempt the upgrade as the original does not
currently have time.

Comment(by wenzeslaus):

Please note that now the current stable release is
[http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDownload#LatestStableRelease 1.0.1].

I believe that Wiki side-by-side edit mode with automatic (live) preview
and Ticket creation with automatic (live) preview for content and comments
would make work much easier especial to users reporting new tickets (e.g.
live preview is one of important features at !StackExchange).

I don't see the (working) preview in the demo for 0.12 (maybe it is turned
off
by default) but [http://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.0/newticket demo for 1.0]
has it.

Comment(by strk):

Does it make sense to keep this ticket open with current title ?
Should it maybe renamed to "Upgrade Trac" ?

Comment(by wildintellect):

A clone VM was made 2 years ago to allow someone to attempt the upgrade
(TracSVN2). No one volunteered try.

We recently started on it (Martin S) but realized we wanted to get Debian
up to version 7 and hit a grub related issue that's going to require a
fresh base VM to be created or some special disk partition moving to
accommodate grub2.

In the mean time, now would be a good time to clarify if we want to stick
with Trac.
