NAME

Bugzilla::Install::Localconfig - Functions and variables dealing with the manipulation and creation of the localconfig file.

SYNOPSIS

 use Bugzilla::Install::Requirements qw(update_localconfig);
 update_localconfig({ output => 1 });

DESCRIPTION

This module is used primarily by checksetup.pl to create and modify the localconfig file. Most scripts should use "localconfig" in Bugzilla to access localconfig variables.

CONSTANTS

LOCALCONFIG_VARS

An array of hashrefs. These hashrefs contain three keys:

 name    - The name of the variable.
 default - The default value for the variable. Should always be
           something that can fit in a scalar.
 desc    - Additional text to put in localconfig before the variable
           definition. Must end in a newline. Each line should start
           with "#" unless you have some REALLY good reason not
           to do that.
OLD_LOCALCONFIG_VARS

An array of names of variables. If update_localconfig finds these variables defined in localconfig, it will print out a warning.

SUBROUTINES

read_localconfig
Description

Reads the localconfig file and returns all valid values in a hashref.

Params
$include_deprecated

true if you want the returned hashref to include *any* variable currently defined in localconfig, even if it doesn't exist in LOCALCONFIG_VARS. Generally this is is only for use by "update_localconfig".

Returns

A hashref of the localconfig variables. If an array is defined in localconfig, it will be an arrayref in the returned hash. If a hash is defined, it will be a hashref in the returned hash. Only includes variables specified in LOCALCONFIG_VARS, unless $include_deprecated is true.

update_localconfig

Description: Adds any new variables to localconfig that aren't currently defined there. Also optionally prints out a message about vars that *should* be there and aren't. Exits the program if it adds any new vars.

Params: $output - true if the function should display informational output and warnings. It will always display errors or any message which would cause program execution to halt.

Returns: A hashref, with old_vals being an array of names of variables that were removed, and new_vals being an array of names of variables that were added to localconfig.
