Package: thttpd Version: 2.23beta1-6 Severity: minor Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The attached patch adds a comment to the thttpd.conf file explaining the symlink option and when you might want to use it. I struggled for a long time before the (in retrospect) obvious dawned on me; although even my friends think I'm fairly unique in many intriguing respects, I would expect some others to benefit from having this explication available in thttpd.conf. /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
