Comment(by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:3 erinn]:
 > I believe the original objection to installing it into /srv/trac
 ourselves was that weasel wasn't willing to maintain it if it were
 installed that way. Maybe I'm wrong?

 My comment above was ambiguous.  weasel didn't say he'd maintain a Trac in
 /srv/trac, but that he'd be fine with having it on a VM he maintains if we
 found someone maintaining the part in /srv/trac.

 > I don't think we have anyone who'd be willing to maintain that setup.
 (By willing I also include people who simply don't have time.)

 Could be that nobody would want to maintain it.  How much additional
 effort is it compared to running a backported 0.12?  Subscribe to a
 mailing list and run `svn up && make` whenever there's an update, plus all
 the fun when something breaks?

 > I'm also not sure how the upgrade path works. That and the admin-time
 consideration should be examined more.

 Right.  This is independent of whether we compile our own Trac or use a
 backport, though.
