Setting up trac and populating data

Howdy,

Continuation to my previous inqury, we have finally starting
to use Trac 
as primary tool in different projects as bug tracker and
such. As being 
lazy I'll ask here, since I think this would interest future
readers too.

There is few issues that I would like to solve before doing
full launch.

Remote repositories - Box that runs Trac would be Linux +
Apache server. 
Repositories reside on Windoze server. Move repos over Linux
or some 
nice way to map Win shares to Linux, or usage of remote
repositories. I 
prefer native Linux system. All repos are in FSFS format
that should be 
just copying all files to new location? I don't have any
commit hooks 
and such.

Authenticating users from Active Directory. We're currently
using apache 
+ mod_sspi but it sucks.  Any better
way?

Populating Trac users from AD. Since we have all users in
AD, It would 
be handy to get "registered" user data from AD?
Scripts or plugins for this?

Inter-project references? Since there is need to have few
"generic" 
Tracs, how this can be done?

Workflow since we would like to force spesific workflow this
would be 
nice - as I understood this will be part of 0.11.

Automation - As much as possible, like automatic ticket
closing, ticket 
creation, adding and modifying by email.

Reporting and analysis (statistics) for open/closed tickets,
maybe times 
how long they were outstanding and under processing etc.

Work estimation and work done (real working can be gathered
from our 
timecard application)

In general - is there articles about (agile) development
with help of Trac?

Mounting remote repositories with NFS, smbfs or the like is
not
recommended, as I understand the docs.
However, you yould have a master-slave scenario where your
trac box is a
slave. Read about svnsync that comes with svn 1.4.4. Or
pupulate commits
to your master with a post-commit hook to your slave.

Before 1.4.4, I had a little script running from cron that
syncs to a
remote repository (note that I filter out a specific tree
within the
repo):

------8<----
#!/bin/sh
# L: local
# R: remote
LSVNADMIN=/usr/local/bin/svnadmin
RSVNADMIN=/usr/local/subversion/bin/svnadmin
LSVNLOOK=/usr/local/bin/svnlook
RSVNLOOK=/usr/local/subversion/bin/svnlook
LSVNDUMPFILTER=/usr/local/bin/svndumpfilter
RCHOWN=/bin/chown
LREP=/path/to/localrepo
RREP=/sun/svn
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
REMOTEHOST=remotesvnhost

RREV=`$ $ $ youngest $`
LREV=`$ youngest $`
STARTREV=`expr $ + 1`
if [ 0$ -lt 0$ ] ; then
  $ dump $ -r $:$ --quiet
--incremental | 
  $ include source | 
  $ $ $ load --quiet $
> /dev/null
  $ $ $ -R wwwrun.www $
fi

mod_auth_ldap against AD works fine here.

I'm very interested in that, too.

trac-post-commit-hook, email2tracscript.
