Hallo list!
Whenever I am upgrading a wiki or telling a customer what files to
backup, I am unhappy with the file structure in the ./conf folder.
Mostly because global and local configuration files are not separated
sufficiently enough.
It is not a big issue. But even when I know all the local files by
heart, it still takes a while and some consideration to choose them.
Instead of this structure:
dokuwiki.php
local.php
acronyms.conf
acronyms.local.conf
acl.auth.php.dist
...
I propose a ./conf/local folder like this:
dokuwiki.php
local/dokuwiki.php
acronyms.conf
local/acronyms.conf
local/acl.auth.php
...
That way you never have to think twice again, you just need to copy the
./conf/local folder over to a new installation or backup.
Inside the DokuWiki package that folder could come as ./conf/_local or
similar (to avoid overwriting as is done now by the addition of '.dist').
Then we could probably even add all those local files that are not in
the distribution (like acronyms.local.conf, empty of course), so it is
one step less to use them.
What do you all think?
