Upstream Trac is shipped with jQuery it needs while leaving Genshi and other libraries as dependencies. Debian specific patch removes jQuery from Trac distribution even though it contributes only 2% to package size. This dependency injection creates aforementioned problems.

There was a complex issue with TracDeveloperPlugin, which solution involved permissions, aliases and mod_wsgi configuration. The jQuery was only a part of a problem and it was not only downgrading that fixed it. There are more than 200 plugins tagged for 0.11 on http://trac-hacks.org/ They were developed and debugged with jQuery 1.2.x which is not forward compatible with 1.3.x I don't feel like I want to check if they are compatible next time I'd like to use one. 15kBytes doesn't worth wasted hours. > How much effort would it take to make them compatible with 1.3? > Note, that Trac 0.12 will ship with jQuery 1.3 anyway... > > In any case, I will document the potential problem in README.Debian > file, so that our users are not surprised (only disappointed maybe). The best solution would be to remove "15_remove_jquery_file.dpatch", "postinst", "prerm" and let Trac developers ship the version that contributes to the official API for Trac extension developers for a given Trac release. P.S. Given the above I'd reconsider "Python Application" concept from just "a big chunk of code" to isolated set of libraries/modules that creates stable virtualenv for an application, which is constructed using Python dependencies recommended by upstream. -- anatoly t. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
