Trac Repository Admin

The pre-0.12 way of specifying the repository with the `repository_dir` and `repository_type` options in the `[trac]` section of [wiki:TracIni trac.ini] is still supported, but two new mechanisms allow including additional repositories into an environment. 13 13 … … 35 35 36 36 37 === In `trac.ini` ===#ReposTracIni37 === In `trac.ini` #ReposTracIni 38 38 Repositories and repository attributes can be specified in the `[repositories]` section of [wiki:TracIni#repositories-section trac.ini]. Every attribute consists of a key structured as `{name}.{attribute}` and the corresponding value separated with an equal sign (`=`). The name of the default repository is empty. 39 39 … … 41 41 42 42 The following example defines two Subversion repositories named `project` and `lib`, and an alias to `project` as the default repository. This is a typical use case where a Trac environment previously had a single repository (the `project` repository), and was converted to multiple repositories. The alias ensures that links predating the change continue to resolve to the `project` repository. 43 {{{ 44 #!ini 43 {{{#!ini 45 44 [repositories] 46 45 project.dir = /var/repos/project … … 59 58 Note that `name.alias = target` makes `name` an alias for the `target` repo, not the other way around. 60 59 61 === In the database ===#ReposDatabase60 === In the database #ReposDatabase 62 61 Repositories can also be specified in the database, using either the "Repositories" admin panel under "Version Control", or the `trac-admin $ENV repository` commands. 63 62 … … 81 80 82 81 83 == Repository synchronization ==#Synchronization82 == Repository synchronization #Synchronization 84 83 Prior to 0.12, Trac synchronized its cache with the repository on every HTTP request. This approach is not very efficient and not practical anymore with multiple repositories. For this reason, explicit synchronization through post-commit hooks was added. 85 84 86 85 There is also new functionality in the form of a repository listener extension point ''(IRepositoryChangeListener)'' that is triggered by the post-commit hook when a changeset is added or modified, and can be used by plugins to perform actions on commit. 87 86 88 === Mercurial Repositories ===87 === Mercurial Repositories 89 88 Please note that at the time of writing, no initial resynchronization or any hooks are necessary for Mercurial repositories - see [trac:#9485] for more information. 90 89 91 === Explicit synchronization ===#ExplicitSync90 === Explicit synchronization #ExplicitSync 92 91 This is the preferred method of repository synchronization. It requires setting the `[trac] repository_sync_per_request` option in [wiki:TracIni#trac-section trac.ini] to an empty value, and adding a call to `trac-admin` in the `post-commit` hook of each repository. Additionally, if a repository allows changing revision metadata, a call to `trac-admin` must be added to the `post-revprop-change` hook as well. 93 92 … … 102 101 Note that you may have to set the environment variable `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` to the same value as was used for the web server configuration before calling `trac-admin`, if you changed it from its default location. See [wiki:TracPlugins Trac Plugins] for more information. 103 102 104 ==== Subversion ====103 ==== Subversion 105 104 106 105 The following examples are complete post-commit and post-revprop-change scripts for Subversion.

Other repository types will require different hook setups. 134 133 135 ==== Git ====136 137 Git hooks can be used in the same way for explicit syncing of Git repositories. If your git repository is one that gets committed to directly on the machine that hosts trac, add the following to the `hooks/post- receive` file in your git repo (note: this will do nothing if you only update the repo by pushing to it):134 ==== Git 135 136 Git hooks can be used in the same way for explicit syncing of Git repositories.

In that case, the `[trac] repository_sync_per_request` option in [wiki:TracIni#trac-section trac.ini] must be set to a comma-separated list of repository names to be synchronized. 177 176 … … 179 178 180 179 181 == Migration from a single-repository setup (Subversion) ==#Migration180 == Migration from a single-repository setup (Subversion) #Migration 182 181 The following procedure illustrates a typical migration from a Subversion single-repository setup to multiple repositories. 183 182 … … 189 188 1.

Be sure to use [#ExplicitSync explicit synchronization] as explained above.
