Package: viewcvs
Version: 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-4
I tried to install viewcvs on a fresh sarge. However,
the configuration is not stored in
/etc/viewcvs/*.conf, I believe some default is being
used instead.
A subsequent dpkg-reconfigure viewcvs does able to
make the actual changes both to /etc/viewcvs/* as well
as the dpkg memorized configure. Oddly enough, even
the second dpkg-reconfigure show default values(on
start up), not the value I entered during installation
so it was lost there, thus cannot propagate to
/etc/viewcvs/
I have redo it several times with "apt-get remove
--purge" to confirm the behaviour.
Another minor problem(at least with apache2). viewcvs
put a config(Alias /doc/viewcvs) under /etc/conf.d
which is included before the sites-enabled/ include.
But in the default site configuration, /doc/ is
aliased again so all reference to /doc/viewcvs becomes
broken links(like the power by viewcvs icon).
Yet another minor issue.
docroot is commented out in viewcvs.conf by default
this result in the CVS help link using /*docroot*/
which looks for /etc/doc/viewcvs/* thus again a broken
link.
I need to uncomment docroot=/viewcvs and change the
Alias under conf.d/viewcvs to access the help. The
"powered by" icon unfortunately is still broken as it
seems to be hard coded to /doc/viewcvs/
BTW, the help in debconf about alias is different from
the default conf.d/viewcvs used. One use
/doc/viewcvs(in conf.d/viewcvs), the help talks about
/viewcvs.
