Add valid login URL.

I hope that this fixed the invalid login URL.

I am not sure how to deploy this.

I hope someone will know how to push this in production.

If I look at this line where You are currently not logged in. You may want to do so now. is printed:

https://github.com/edgewall/trac/blob/974f08d0052bda990c173c687b67dd489d53b70a/trac/web/main.py#L679

I think this config change will fix the issue where the link is wrong.

Hmm. I've deployed this (fab config.production trac.update) but it doesn't seem fixed.

[glyph]

Hmm. Reading this code, I think that we need a redirect from /trac/login directly: it seems like .login() literally means the string, "login", in the URL:

>>> trac.web.href.Href('/trac/').login()
'/trac/login'

[glyph]

Erm, okay, well… I fixed it, so I guess I lied about not having the time to look at this. But the way I fixed it was extremely gross and weird because I have NO idea what's going on in ~t-web/config; nominally this is deployed via braid, but the twisted-web service that got migrated over to Braid when we stopped using submodules does not even bear a passing resemblance to what's actually on the server, its git remote still points at https://github.com/twisted-infra/t-web even though that says "disused", and there are tons of modified files in the working copy that aren't checked in anywhere.

[rodrigc]

Thanks for fixing, @glyph, I can confirm that at https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/newticket , the do so link now points to the correct URL.
That's a bit unfortunate that there are some configs on the running system that are not checked into git, but that's OK.

I am worried that Trac deployment is not in Braid. Also I don't know what backups do we have.
This means that if we somehow lost the VM, we might loose the whole Trac info.

I remember that when migrating Trac tickets to GitHub issues was proposed a few years ago, this was blocked as some data from Trac would be lost.

With the current time that Twisted developers have to keep the Twisted infrastructure, I think is best to migrate the tickets to GitHub Issues.
GitHub Issues was a bad product 4 years ago, but it is getting better.

Our hosting provider, tummy.com, maintains regular whole-system backups, so data loss is not a concern. (We have recovered from these more than once with little disruption to availability.)

Definitely agreed on the concern with not having the t-web deployment in braid. (The trac service itself is mostly accurate within braid, however.)

(Also, dornkirk is not a VM, it's physical hardware)
