installation upgrade failed on IndexError: list index out of range

[kubes@…]

I have upgraded Trac from 0.12 to 1.0 and from python 2.5 to python 2.7.

I need to install TagsPlugin from trunk because of #11325.

I tried to upgrade plugin TagsPlugin by command:

C:\Python27\Scripts>easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/trunk --upgrade

But I get:

C:\Python27\Scripts>easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/trunk --upgrade

That's an setuptools issue with subversion 1.7+. See comment:4:ticket:10778 for some solutions.

Thank you very much for the link. One of the workaround is to download zip archived, it is provided only zip archived tags-0.6.zip which does not not work for me, because of #9521. It would be much easier than compile from source.

So why don't you grab trunk as ZIP archive too? I like Trac. It is rather intuitive to construct the URL from the pattern given by the link to the 0.6 release:
