Package: darcsweb
Version: 0.16-1
Severity: important
After upgrading to etch, darcsweb stopped working with an unfriendly
error, which could be traced to the absence of a "myurl" parameter. I
had to learn from the upstream author that this is mandatory when using
cachedir (as I used since a long ago), but this isn't mentioned at all
in the debian package documentation, nor in the default configuration
provided. Please, upgrade documentation and default config.
>From upstream sample configuration:
# this script's name, usually just "darcsweb.cgi" unless you
# rename
# it; if you leave this commented it will be detected
# automatically
#myname = "darcsweb.cgi"
# our url, used only to generate RSS
# links, without the script name;
# if you leave this commented it
# will be detected automatically
#myurl = "http://example.com/darcsweb";
{..}
# It is possible to have a cache where darcsweb will store the pages
# it generates; entries are automatically updated when the repository
# changes. This will speed things up significatively, specially for
# popular sites.
# It's recommended that you clean the directory with some regularity,
# to avoid having too many unused files. A simple rm will do just
# fine.
# If you leave the entry commented, no cache will be ever used;
# otherwise the directory is assumed to exist and be writeable.
# If you use this option you must set the "myname" and "myurl"
# variables.
#cachedir = '/tmp/darcsweb-cache'
