Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1012:
------------------------------------------
it's not called couch-config_dev. 2 files are created to handle dev mode (can
be removed). Sorry should have been put the example with couch-config. Code is
saying the truth though.
It's not called log-dir because what we really have is a log file, but can be
log dir those that won't give the name of the log file. Is this the way to
follow?
I find it useful to have couchdb bin path but can be removed as well. All other
options are needed though. adding a note is a good idea, what would be the text?

> Developers may want to write plugins (like GeoCouch) for CouchDB. Many hooks
> in the configuration system allow loading arbitrary Erlang modules to handle
> various internal tasks, but currently there is no straightforward and
> portable way for developers of these plugins to discover the location of the
> CouchDB library files.
> Two options that have been proposed are to use pkg-config or install a
> separate script that could be invoked (e.g. as couch-config --erl-libs) to
> discover important CouchDB installation paths.
> As far as I know the loudest argument against pkg-config is lack of support
> for Windows.
