Hi, I'm starting to write a Gentoo ebuild (the way this distro compiles/installs packages on the system, *BSD-way like) for Savane. This should let us a better diffusion of Savane and afaik, Gentoo would be the first distro to provide it as a ready-to-install package. However, Gentoo is meant to be really flexible, and it uses a thing called "webapp-config" to do multiple installations of a web pkg: you could have more than an installation on the same host machine.
The problem lies in the fact that Savane looks always for the configuration file inside /etc/savannah/ (so, e.g., you can have only one savannah db at time). So I would like to branch (as soon as I have some spare time :p ) and the idea is basically: "if a link named (for example) ``conf'' exists and it points to the directory that keeps the configuration files of a local Savane installation, then don't look in the default ``/etc/savannah'', but use that instead." Then, obviously, it requires a paragraph or two in INSTALL.verbose. Is this a realistic solution? Is there something I should know? Better ideas? And also, is the conf dir used only by the backend/the frontend/both (probably both)? Thanks.
