Installing and configuring Trac and Subversion on squeeze
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.
Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all current and past project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy. The roadmap shows the road ahead, listing the upcoming milestones.
Install and configure Trac and subversion
1. Install required packages for both Trac and Subversion. We'll be using Apache to publish the Subversion repositories
apt-get install python-setuptools trac subversion libapache2-svn libapache2-mod-python

Installing eAccelerator
eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator & optimizer. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
eAccelerator only works with mod_php or php in fastcgi mode. It can't be used in cgi or cli because eAccelerator needs to set up shared memory, and this can only be done when all php instances that need to access it are forks of the first process.
1. Download the eAccelerator source. The latest version is mirrored on www.debiantutorials.com as it's not available on the official site anymore.
cd /tmp
wget http://www.debiantutorials.com/static/eaccelerator-0.9.6.1.tar.bz2
