Trac and Django packages for CentOS 5.3 and Fedora 11

The Fawkes website is built using the Django web framework and it is run off of a virtual CentOS machine. We wanted to use the latest version of Trac, as it has some nice new features and most of the development of Trac hacks is done for 0.11 by now. After a short conversation with Jesse it became clear that Trac in EPEL5 will remain on the 0.10 code base (upgrade involves manual work on each Trac instance, plugins usually need upgrades).

Therefore I have packaged Trac 0.11.5 for CentOS 5.3 myself based on the existing package and thought I'd share, maybe someone else wants to use the newer version on CentOS. It includes a bunch of plugins (in particular a patched trac-git-plugin to work with Python 2.4). Many of these plugins and macros are not included in Fedora/EPEL. Among them is the popular account manager plugin. Is anybody interested to push a package through a review and maintain or co-maintain it? I do not have the time to maintain them on my own, but maybe someone else is interested?

Additionally I have packaged some Django apps, namely django-reversion, django-evolution, django-robots and sorl-thumbnail. Again, is someone interested in pushing it through a review and (co-)maintain it?

You can find the RPMs and SRPMs in a small repo on fedorapeople.org. The el5 tree also contains an updated doxygen and git (git being required by the trac-git-plugin). Either download the specific RPMs or you can use timn.repo to tell you yum about it (enabled the required repos). The Trac and Django packages are noarch packages. For the newer doxygen and git packages I have only x86_64 versions at the moment. Rebuild the package by yourself if you need it for a different arch.
