This made it 5 MB (I just multiplied their number of bytes, which equaled 250Kb, by 20).

Reference

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/0.11/TracIni

Run trac-admin commands on the server hosting the trac sites. In our Debian server setup at least, individual projects are in the /srv/trac/ directory, and every trac-admin command should be followed by the path to the project you care about.

For more information than man will give you, use:

trac-admin help

To make a user an admin (I believe this will automatically create a new user if it has to) --

trac-admin /srv/trac/example permission add username TRAC_ADMIN

Prep

Note: A couple things are specific to my local development environment, the location of the site code of course but also that development modules are maintained in their own directory and symlinked into local checkouts of sites (this keeps development-oriented modules out of code that is deployed to production).

Thus, prepping the module builder code looked like this for me, including symlinking the dev code in, which is usually already done for me by the checkout script:

Script to make testing a patch for the current version of Drupal Head really easy.

Edit index.php and right below the first real code line, the bootstrap call, add:

See http://data.agaric.com/node/107 for the right way.

For having your public key somehow let you be able to use your repositories and stuff. It's good magic.

.ssh forwarding agent forward ssh-agent

An example:

The file_force module offers a solution to the problem of offering download links to nimages and other file types that are otherwise displayed in a browser. As the maintainer of the module states it is not the best solution as it redirects access to static content through a php script. He suggests using a webserver based solution; here is one using Apache's mod_header setting the Content-Disposition header in a given context:
