[Lxr-general] Revised GIT support, running with Apache2

[Jan-Benedict G. <jb...@lu...>]

Hi!

I'm currently rewriting the GIT backend. I still don't know all that
much about Perl, but the current code base looks quite better, though
it still needs polishing.

I also tried to run it with Apache2. Works mostly out of the box. For
most of it, .htaccess needs to be modified:

	PerlHandler Apache::Registry

becomes

	PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry


INSTALL instructions also tell me to copy the lib/LXR/* stuff to some
system directory, which looks somewhat unacceptable to me. This can be
easily worked around:

        Alias /lxr /home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr
        <Directory /home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr>
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        PerlRequire /home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr/require.pl


The PerlRequire line is the key. I've put this into it, but I need to
test whether really all of these are needed (probably not):

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
@INC=3D(@INC,     "/home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr",
                "/home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr/lib",
                "/home/jbglaw/lxr-git-test/lxr/lib/Files");
1;


Once this round of polishing the GIT backend is finished, I'll send
some patches for the GIT stuff as well as for the docs.

MfG, JBG
