As of CGI.pm's 4.08 release, the behavior to call CGI::param() in a list context is deprecated (because it can be potentially unsafe if called inside a hash constructor). This causes gitweb to issue a warning for some of our code, which in turn causes the tests to fail. Our use is in fact _not_ one of the dangerous cases, as we are intentionally using a list context. The recommended route by 4.08 is to use the new CGI::multi_param() call to make it explicit that we know what we are doing. However, that function is only available in 4.08, which is about a month old; we cannot rely on having it. One option would be to set $CGI::LIST_CONTEXT_WARN globally, which turns off the warning. However, that would eliminate the protection these newer releases are trying to provide. We want to annotate each site as OK using the new function. So instead, let's check whether CGI provides the multi_param() function, and if not, provide an implementation that just wraps param(). That will work on both old and new versions of CGI. Sadly, we cannot just check defined(\&CGI::multi_param), because CGI uses the autoload feature, which claims that all functions are defined. Instead, we just do a version check.

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.
