Upload files to the repository

[anonymous]

Can you build in a simple FileUploading?(into the rep) to Trac for those who cannot install a svn clinet on their main workstation.

[Markus Tacker <m@…>]

I changed the summary to better suit your intention.

I do not think this kind of features belong to the Trac Core, but to a plugin...

(mtacker: why clearing the current version number ?)

[Markus Tacker <m@…>]

IMHO this ticket currently has no relevance for a current or future version so I cleared it. Am I wrong?

[eblot]

I don't know the policy but following this case, many/most "enhancement" features might be considered as version-less (?)

Well, I think that even if that functionality is to be provided by a plugin, there are a few things that we should consider in Trac Core to facilitate this:

• What are the extensions points in the TracBrowser that would be needed for this?
• The versioncontrol API will probably be extended to support writing to the repository (see also #1132 and #781). If so, this should make it easy for such a plugin to be written in a VersioningSystemBackend independant way.

would the solution stated in #2755 via source: TracLinks and open the svn with "open as webfolder" and therefor use webdav in internet explorer resp. a webdav client be a valid one?

Replying to ThurnerRupert <rupert.thurner@gmail.com>:

would the solution stated in #2755 via source: TracLinks and open the svn with "open as webfolder" and therefore use webdav in internet explorer resp. a webdav client be a valid one?

It is a valid approach, but this ticket is simply about an alternative approach, which can be useful when you don't have a WebDAV access to your SVN repository (e.g. all you have is TracStandalone).

Furthermore, this ticket is more about the necessary changes that need to be done in Trac core in order to support a repository upload plugin than about the plugin itself (see comment:5).

It would be great if:

• an user loggin trac
• the user send a diff file by uploading the file or copy/past in a textarea
• Trac send the diff to the Version Control System (VersioningSystemBackend)
• if the answer of the VCS is OK, Trac create a Changeset
