[Pmwiki-users] Cookbook-Modules II

[Nils Knappmeier]

PM,

this is another thing that came to my mind when thinking about the 
difficult installation of the WikiCalendar:

In Debian GNU/Linux, there is a trend that goes from monolithic config 
files to config dirs.
This means, that instead of a file, there is a directory now, and every 
package puts its part of the config file into a file in the config 
directory. This makes it easier to handle updates, remove parts of the 
file, seperate the configuration of the modules from each other.

So what would you think about this: Instead of config.php, we have many 
files config-xxx.php

All files "local/config(-.+)?\.php" are read instead of just config.php 
and used as the global configuration.
Alternatively, an action "updateconfig" could append all the files into 
an autogenerated config file, so that not all the files have to be read 
all the time.

What do you think about that?
