Using ubuntu here (predominantly OS X? Sheesh, we just don''t brag so
much about it, but we''re here, too ;))). I installed Trac using this
guide. http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracOnUbuntu and svn following
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SubVersion

Both worked very well.
  Quoting
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracFaq#can-i-manage-multiple-projects-from-a-single-installation-of-trac

"2.6   Can I manage multiple projects from a single installation of Trac?

(or do I have to setup a different directory for each one?)

Only one installation is required, then for each project create an
Environment (using trac-admin <fooproj> initenv). They will be separate
projects, all handled by the same installation of Trac.

The rationale for this is that the scope of Trac (1.0) is to manage a
single project, and do it well. Support for larger multi-project
management adds alot of complexity, but is planned for post-1.0
development, probably as a separate framework around Trac."

So, you are supposed to add a new Trac environment for each svn
repository. So it boils down to the question if you should have
different svn repositories for each rails project.  I /think/ this is
pretty much down to your personal preference. Don''t know.


My trav environment lives under /var/trac, but that isn''t necessary at
all.


  Hope that helps, feel free to send me private mails if you have
further questions.
