2008-03-27gitweb: fallback to system-wide config file if default config does not existGerrit Pape
From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications should reside in /etc/. On the other hand it's convenient for multiple instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi. To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

2008-02-09gitweb: Use the config file to set repository owner's name.Bruno Ribas
Now gitweb checks if gitweb.owner exists before trying to get filesystem's owner. Allow to use configuration variable gitweb.owner set the repository owner, it checks the gitweb.owner, if not set it uses filesystem directory's owner. Useful when we don't want to maintain project list file, and all repository directories have to have the same owner (for example when the same SSH account is shared for all projects, using ssh_acl to control access instead).

2008-01-29gitweb: Add info about $projectroot and $projects_list to gitweb/READMEJakub Narebski
Those two configuration variables are important enough that it is worth to explicitely write about them in the "Gitweb config file variables" section even if they are usually set during build by GITWEB_PROJECTROOT and GITWEB_LIST build (Makefile) configuration variables.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

* mw/pathinfo: gitweb: Fix search form when PATH_INFO is enabled gitweb: Document features better gitweb: warn if feature cannot be overridden. gitweb: start to generate PATH_INFO URLs. Conflicts: gitweb/README
2006-10-07gitweb: Document features betterPetr Baudis
This expands gitweb/README to talk some more about GITWEB_CONFIG, moves feature-specific documentation in gitweb.cgi to the inside of the %features array, and adds some short description of all the features. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-03gitweb: document webserver configuration for common gitweb/repo URLs.Martin Waitz
Add a small apache configuration which shows how to use apache to put gitweb and GIT repositories at the same URL. Signed-off-by: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-02gitweb: require $ENV{'GITWEB_CONFIG'}Matthias Lederhofer
With this patch it is possible to use gitweb.perl for developing by loading the configuration from $GITWEB_CONFIG. This might also be useful for normal usage of gitweb. Example: % cat cfg $GIT = '/usr/bin/git'; $projectroot = '/home/matled/src/git'; $projects_list = '/home/matled/src/git/git/gitweb/list'; % cat run #!/bin/sh export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1" export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*" export REQUEST_METHOD="GET" export GITWEB_CONFIG='./cfg' export QUERY_STRING=""$1"" exec ./gitweb.perl % time ./run p=git/.git > /dev/null This makes it easy to check for warnings and do performance tests after changes, you can also pipe this to lynx -dump -force-html /dev/stdin to get more than just html. This also documents the original patch adding require $GITWEB_CONFIG. Signed-off-by: Matthias Lederhofer <matled@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Use the normal web server instead of the CGI to provide the git logo, just like the gitweb.css. Signed-off-by: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-01gitweb: fill in gitweb configuration by MakefileMartin Waitz
Generate gitweb/gitweb.cgi to reduce the need to patch gitweb.cgi by the end user. The GIT installation directory is already known by the Makefile, and can be inserted directly into gitweb. All other gitweb configuration parameters can now be specified by providing GITWEB_* variables while building GIT. These are described in gitweb/README.
