I think we will need an access to code.djangoproject.com here :) Anyone? @jezdez

Trac's code is hosted in a different repo (https://github.com/django/code.djangoproject.com), I just added it to the redesign team. Please also work in a branch and open a PR there so that we can track it properly. Thanks!

Thanks @jezdez! 💫

Trac is known to be hard to set up and run locally. Grabbing the HTML source and working on a static copy locally might be the best solution :-(

Thanks for the tip, @aaugustin :)

Managed to get it somewhat installed locally. Let's see if I can get something half-decent working.

I just pushed a first version of this (django/code.djangoproject.com@131e8d8).

To test it out:

• clone django/code.djangoproject.com
• cd code.djangoproject.com
• pip install -r requirements.txt # In same virtualenv as djangoproject.com probably
• Follow all steps of djangoproject.com/README.txt (especially creating database/user and loading trac.sql)
• psql -U code.djangoproject -d code.djangoproject -c "INSERT INTO permission (username, action) VALUES ('anonymous', 'TRAC_ADMIN')"
• tracd --port 9000 -s trac-env

You might also want to set secure_cookies = false in trac-env/conf/trac.ini if you want to be able to create some content (wiki or tickets). Setting base_url (in [trac]) and url (in [project]) to your localhost URL might also help for testing out things like search.

There are still quite a few things to change, most of them caused by weird interactions between our new styles and trac's ones. The old trac-env/htdocs/style.css was used before to change stuff like colors to match our palette. Depending on how much efforts we want to put into this, it might be enough to just fix a few colors and call it a day.

Thanks @bmispelon, I got it running now too! This is really awesome. 🎉

I'll try to work on more css changes tomorrow morning :) Thank you for help!

I added some more styling. Currently I am on the stage when I want to throw my computer outside the window because of this terrible trac css, so I'm going to take a break for few hours... 🙀

OMG this is amazing! 😹

I pushed another commit for this (2d7274f459ecaad622ed9a4c93e290a0d02ab451) and I think we're pretty much done now.

I removed all the ugly trac colors I could find (default reds and browns) and replaced them with the greens from our styleguide.

Can someone double-check and close this?

Amazing effort @bmispelon, trac looks as good as it possibly can! 💖
