[Tracker-discuss] [issue408] Tracker development setup fails

[Vinay Sajip]

New submission from Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk>:

I tried to set up an instance of the Python tracker for development, according to the instructions given at

http://wiki.python.org/moin/TrackerDevelopment

I get an error relating to Rietveld setup, despite following all the suggested steps:

I would suggest that one of these approaches should be taken:

1. The configuration is changed so that Rietveld integration does not occur by default, and the documentation is updated to tell those who need it how to do Rietveld integration (as is done for Spambayes)

2. Change the init script to do the relevant Django /Rietveld configuration magic so that users who just want to e.g. hack on some templates for the basic UI (like me in this case :-) don't get side-tracked into some rabbit-hole ...
