Package: trac Version: 0.11.7-3~bpo50+1 Severity: wishlist a tightly-configured trac instance might not always have write access to its own conf/directory.
the trac-sqlite2pg contributed script in debian's trac package seems to assume that it has write access in order to make a temporary copy of the config. i get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/trac-sqlite2pg", line 335, in <module> sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:])) File "/usr/local/bin/trac-sqlite2pg", line 331, in main Main(opts) File "/usr/local/bin/trac-sqlite2pg", line 244, in Main pgenv = getPostgreSQLEnvironment(opts) File "/usr/local/bin/trac-sqlite2pg", line 220, in getPostgreSQLEnvironment x.environment_created() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/env.py", line 504, in environment_created self._update_sample_config() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/env.py", line 545, in _update_sample_config config.save() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/config.py", line 211, in save fileobj = AtomicFile(self.filename, 'w') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/trac/util/__init__.py", line 163, in __init__ (fd, self._temp) = tempfile.mkstemp(prefix=name + '-', dir=dir) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py", line 302, in mkstemp return _mkstemp_inner(dir, prefix, suffix, flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py", line 236, in _mkstemp_inner fd = _os.open(file, flags, 0600) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/srv/trac/support/conf/trac.ini.sample-b3-m7y' It would be better if this script created the sample config in /tmp, or following $TMPDIR instead of trying to write a new file into conf/ (or at least check for that error, and fall back to making the sample config in /tmp if conf/ is unwritable by the user writing the query.
