Subject: [PATCHv3 2/2 (version B)] gitweb: Use /etc/gitweb.conf even if gitweb_conf.perl exist
Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 18:35:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1306341328-11108-4-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1306341328-11108-1-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com>
gitweb obtains configuration from the following sources:
1. per-instance configuration file (default: gitweb_conf.perl)
2. system-wide configuration file (default: /etc/gitweb.conf)
If per-instance configuration file exists, then system-wide
configuration is _not used at all_. This is quite untypical and
suprising behavior.
This commit changes gitweb behavior so that configuration in
per-instance configuration file can _override_ settings from
system-wide configuration file.
Note that strictly speaking it is backwards incompatibile change.
Check your resulting gitweb configuration, please.

This commit is _*functionally*_ unchanged from previous version
[PATCHv2] gitweb: Use GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM even if GITWEB_CONFIG does exist
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/173603/focus=173720
but it uses read_config_file() subroutine introduced in first patch.
This IMVHO makes gitweb code more clear.
This commit should be thought as exclusive to
[PATCH 2/2 (version A)] gitweb: Mention read_config_file in gitweb/README
We have to choose one or the other.
