I thought I committed this last night. Ho hum. - This implements most of the rest of the new tracker config layout: - dbinit.py split between schema.py and initial_data.py - interfaces.py gone - tracker and detectors __init__.py gone - Added some missing functionality to backends: db_exists test and db_nuke. - Implemented configuration file options in postgresql backend. - Cleaned up tracker initialisation a lot.

=========================
Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

:Version: $Revision: 1.1 $

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically 
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and 
on Windows this is ``c:\python22\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:
 
1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed.
2. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
3. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
4. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules __init__.py, dbinit.py, config.py, interfaces.py
- directories html and detectors (with appropriate contents)
- TEMPLATE-INFO.txt which is our template "marker" file, which contains 
  the name of the template,  a description of the template and its 
  intended audience.

An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt::

 Name: classic
 Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs,
              feature requests, project issues or any number of other types
              of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template
              suits them, with perhaps a few customisations.
 Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
