Since my d48b284183 ("perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]", 2010-09-24), we've depended on 5.8, so there's no reason to conditionally require Digest::MD5 anymore. It was released with perl v5.7.3[1] The initial introduction of the dependency in e9fdd74e53 ("gitweb: (gr)avatar support", 2009-06-30) says as much, this also undoes part of the later 2e9c8789b7 ("gitweb: Mention optional Perl modules in INSTALL", 2011-02-04) since gitweb will always be run on at least 5.8, so there's no need to mention Digest::MD5 as a required module in the documentation, let's instead say that we require perl 5.8. 1. $ corelist Digest::MD5 Data for 2015-02-14 Digest::MD5 was first released with perl v5.7.3 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> |

GIT web Interface ================= From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git. Build time gitweb configuration ------------------------------- There are many configuration variables which affect building gitweb (among others creating gitweb.cgi out of gitweb.perl by replacing placeholders such as `++GIT_BINDIR++` by their build-time values). Building and installing gitweb is described in gitweb's INSTALL file (in 'gitweb/INSTALL'). Runtime gitweb configuration ---------------------------- Gitweb obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following order: 1. built-in values (some set during build stage), 2. common system-wide configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON`, defaults to '/etc/gitweb-common.conf'), 3. either per-instance configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG`, defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the installed gitweb), or if it does not exists then system-wide configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM`, defaults to '/etc/gitweb.conf'). Values obtained in later configuration files override values obtained earlier in above sequence. You can read defaults in system-wide GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM from GITWEB_CONFIG by adding read_config_file($GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM); at very beginning of per-instance GITWEB_CONFIG file. In this case settings in said per-instance file will override settings from system-wide configuration file. Note that read_config_file checks itself that the $GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM file exists. The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. Ultimate description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` can be found as comments inside 'gitweb.cgi'. See also gitweb.conf(5) manpage. Web server configuration ------------------------ Gitweb can be run as CGI script, as legacy mod_perl application (using ModPerl::Registry), and as FastCGI script. You can find some simple examples in "Example web server configuration" section in INSTALL file for gitweb (in gitweb/INSTALL). See "Webserver configuration" and "Advanced web server setup" sections in gitweb(1) manpage.
