[Phpwiki-talk] index.php to index-dist.php?

[Matti A. <ma...@ik...>]

Would it make sense to rename index.php to index-dist.php in CVS (and 
maybe in further releases as well)? Furthermore, DirectoryIndex in 
.htaccess could be "index.php index-dist.php". That way, you could 
safely update your local Wiki without overwriting the configuration.

... or how do you prefer to handle configuration files with CVS?

Cheers,

m.

We are looking to change configuration settings.

index.php will be replaced with:

index.php -- just contains includes (in CVS as index2.php)
config/config-dist.php -- default distribution settings
config/config-user.php -- localized config settings

This has been in CVS for a few weeks, but I have received no comment on 
implementation.  It should be good to go.

OK, good. It'd be nice, though, if there were no config-user.php at all 
in CVS, so that it's safe to do cvs updates (and maybe commits) without 
risk of hosing current configuration (or the default configuration in 
CVS). Then, config-user.php could be included (instead of currently 
being required), and if it's missing, a nag message with instructions 
to create an empty configuration file could be included in the header 
of each and every displayed page. Or alternatively, the user could be 
instructed to use the configurator in the works... :-)

Since config-user.php is blank and should never need to be modified in 
CVS we shouldn't need to worry.  Though, I agree that for packaging it 
becomes a problem since we don't want to overwrite someone's 
config-user.php with a blank file.

Other views?

But the first time a developer with CVS write access commits his code 
changes to the repository and forgets to empty his config-user.php, his 
local config is sent to the repository... Been there, done that. :-(

Ahh....

Sorry, I maintain seperate web and CVS/editing versions to avoid such 
problems.  I also only commit particular files rather than all modified. 
  But this is a worry.
