March 4th, 2009, @ 2:08 amI needed to do this to get Trac’s gitPlugin working. The gitPlugin has a requirement for Python 2.5. After googling I stumbled into the blog.bashton.com site which provided a SRPM from which I could build the i386 version of Python 2.5. See my previous post about how to get this SRPM built and installed.
Once I got Python 2.5’s RPMS installed I wanted to get setuptools installed. So I kinda sorta loosely followed along this blog post over on perplexedlabs.com.

Recently I was trying to install some Trac plugins from the trac-hacks.org website. I have several instances of Trac and so I wanted to install the plugins as Python .egg files at a global level so that all the instances could make use of them.
First attempt …
It seemed easy enough, just use Python’s easy_install command and point it at the subversion tree for a particular Trac plugin.

error: Unexpected HTML page found at http://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/tags/0.6/ |
HMM… Googling a bit I came across a couple of posts which basically led to 2 possible solutions. One mentioned that you might have some success by appending a ?format=raw after the Trac Browser’s URL. The second mentioned trying to upgrade setuptools (aka. the package that provides easy_install).
I went with the second choice since I was dealing with a subversion repo directly and not the Trac Code Browser.
Second attempt …
