    initial v1  
    33It appears that the documentation does not match the code in svn. Something appears to be out of syc.

    8 The instructions refer to "a trac-admin command, a bash script (mail2tracAdmin) calling trac-admin...The bash script, mail2tracAdmin may be called by an MTA (e.g. postfix)."

    10 When detailing the install for Postfix, it is noted that "The mail2trac script takes a -p command line argument for the path to the project environment."

    12 The problem is that there is no existence of any "mail2trac" script. Is this refering to the "mail2tracAdmin" bash script? I've tried to use the "mail2tracAdmin" bash script in place of the non-existent "mail2trac" script, but the "mail2tracAdmin" bash script does not accept a "-p" command line argument as noted for the "mail2trac script". I've tried to leave of the "-p" argument with no success. I've tried about every combination of arguments and commands that might make sense to no avail. I've replaced the "mail2trac" script with "python /path/to/mail2trac/email2trac.py" as suggested by ethan.jucovy at gmail

    15 I've begun to debug email2trac.py but it just starts and then ends without calling any of the methods/procedures defined in the file. I am now very experienced at python, so it is a struggle to figure out why nothing is happening.

    1717I was initially having permission problems because the "nobody" user needed permission to run the required files, so I gave access as needed. No more permission problems reported.

    2323This is the setup I am using for the alias:
     24{{{

    27 The instructions instruct me to add the following alias, but "mail2trac" does not exist, so that was not an option:

    3036I downloaded mail2tracAdmin script and then tried to make use of it in the alias, but that failed to work as it appears to accept different parameters (eg, doesn't accept "-p")
     37{{{

     39}}}

    3341I've tried to run a test on the command-line just to see if I can make sense of the parameters and output using the following:
     42{{{
     43#!sh
    3444python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mail2trac-1-py2.7.egg/mail2trac/email2trac.py -p $TRAC_ALASG_HOME <<EOF

    4151...however, the above appears to result in no commands being run within the email2trac.py python script. I've inserted debugging to find out what is going on, but it appears nothing is going on. None of the procedures within the file appear to be executed.
