Hi 
I am looking for new Binami Trac with SVN for Windows (64 & 32 Bit ).

I have an older version of Trac and trying to upgrade, but couldn't find the new Binami bundle for installation. 

Can someone please shed some light on this would be great

Where are these binary locations  - Binami installers with SVN & TRAC?

If we don't have one for windows - how can i get around this upgrading from very old version of windows 32bit TRAC with SVN to the new versions of TRac and SVN please 

Many Thanks
Thiru

I ended up installing on Windows via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).  However, if anyone knows of a good place to get Windows binaries, I'd also be curious.

Appears that BitNami discontinued Trac support which is unfortunate.

Hi,

Not that I have actual binaries, but trac is in pypi, so couldn't you use that? (disclaimer: I don't know much about windows, so..)

Thanks for the reply, Gents.

Re -  Trac & VM installation using  WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux):

How was the performance? any experience / issues faced please ?

Also did you use Bitnami Bundle - TAC & VM?

If you have / can you point me to the steps would be helpful.

Many Thanks All
Thiru

True, and it's not so much a problem for my test installations, but my
production installation is running via Apache and integrates with
Subversion and so, in order for all that magic to happen, I need
binaries for some of it.

Hmm ...

The installation pretty much goes they way a Linux installation would.  Although I installed via checking out from Trac's repo, not via PyPi.  I'm using Trac version 1.5.4.dev (from trunk, not an official release).  FWIW, I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 along with Apache as a web server and with Subversion integration.

I've been using WSL 1 (since before WSL 2 was available).

I do have a problem with the installation, which doesn't crop up often.  It appears access to the SQLITE database is not safe to do from multiple processes, so what happens is every so often Trac will stop learning about commit information until I resync.  (And I dare not do a resync while the system is online, else very bad things will happen.)  I'm guessing it's a problem with Linux's access to the native Windows file system (e.g. file locking or some similar issue).

I'm guessing the fix would be either to A) Use WSL 2 and keep all the files with in the Linux filesystem area or B) Convert from SQLITE to MariaDB or something like that.  However, when I tried an automatically convert to MariaDB the process failed.  I do have one Trac test instance running with MariaDB, but it may have been a clean/initial installation.  I think I could probably do the migration by hand, but I'm pretty busy and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I manage over 250 projects with Trac instances and SVN repos, but only a couple are heavily used (most of them are completed), and I've only had the above problem with the most heavily used project.

I hope that helps.  It's been a while since my last big update/install.

Good luck.

- Dan
