Installing the Components
Now we should jump ahead to Appendices A, B, and C to follow platform-specific
instructions to install Subversion, Apache, and Trac respectively. If you are using
Microsoft Windows, you will have to install Apache first, then Subversion, and
finally Trac. If Debian or Ubuntu is your preference, then we need to follow the
instructions for Subversion and Trac, as the way in which the software is packaged
on those platforms makes our life easier for us.
Following those instructions gave us our building blocks and now we can put
them together.
Keeping It Organized
To make our lives easier, or for our system administrators, we need to keep the files
for our projects together in a sensible fashion. To do this, we will first create a single
folder??”projects??”and then create sub-folders for each component??”svn, trac,
and files for subversion, Trac, and WebDAV respectively??”which will in turn
hold the folders for our individual projects.
Laying the Foundations
[ 28 ]
We will be setting up our directory structure based around our tools??”each project
will have a subdirectory under a folder for each component. We could approach it
from the opposite direction and have a single directory per project with a folder for
each component underneath, but this would create more administrative work as
both Subversion and Trac can handle multiple projects nested in a single folder, but
require manual configuration for multiple projects in multiple folders.
