Setup Notes

The original install was a 0.7.1 SUSE RPM from the ​official download site. I upgraded it pretty painlessly to 0.8 w/ the source tarball from there.

### as root ###

# in the src folder
$ python setup.py install

# upgrade the db
$ trac-admin /var/src/trac/dojo upgrade

# kick apache
$ /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Easy Fabreezy.

For 0.8 upgrade I also updated some permissions:

$ trac-admin /var/src/trac/dojo permission add anonymous MILESTONE_VIEW
$ trac-admin /var/src/trac/dojo permission add anonymous ROADMAP_VIEW
