Make the Perl scripts easier to configure

Reported by: rjl Owned by: rjl

Description

In the current version, the eight Perl scripts each need to be configured manually, setting a few details at the top of the file. Furthermore, a central database.cfg file needs to be referenced by all of these scripts, so the path to this file needs to be configured in each script as well. In addition to being a pain to configure, these settings get overwritten whenever a new version of a script is installed.

Change History

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

Fixed in Changesets 977-979, which remove the database.cfg file altogether. All configuration settings are now stored in a central /etc/maia.conf file, so there's no longer any need to configure anything in any of the Perl scripts themselves. A maia.conf.dist file is now provided instead of database.cfg.dist. It should be copied to /etc/maia.conf and edited before trying to use any of these new Perl scripts.
