Developers of Sympa

[address@concealed (Jérôme Marant)]

Hi,

  When I installed the first version of my new debian package, I discovered
  that Sympa was seeking for robot configuration in --DIR--/etc, which is
  on my system /usr/lib/sympa/etc.
  However, I think that this should go along with sympa.conf and wwsympa.conf,
  which are for me in /etc/sympa. But I cannot do this currently (same thing
  for task models).
  I seems that wwsympa is seeking for robot configuration in $Conf{'etc'}.

  $ grep -- --DIR--/etc src/*

Conf.pm:     'etc'     => '--DIR--/etc',
Conf.pm:    unless (opendir DIR,'--DIR--/etc' ) {
Conf.pm:        printf STDERR "Unable to open directory --DIR--/etc for 
virtual robots config\n" ;
Conf.pm:        next unless (-d "--DIR--/etc/$robot");
Conf.pm:        next unless (-r "--DIR--/etc/$robot/robot.conf");
Conf.pm:        unless (open (ROBOT_CONF,"--DIR--/etc/$robot/robot.conf")) {
Conf.pm:            printf STDERR "load robots config: Unable to open 
--DIR--/etc/$robot/robot.conf\n"; 
Conf.pm:    my $config = '--DIR--/etc/auth.conf';
List.pm:    unless (opendir(DIR, '--DIR--/etc')) {
List.pm:        do_log('err',"Unable to open --DIR--/etc");
List.pm:        next unless (-r "--DIR--/etc/$r/robot.conf");
task_manager.pl:my $user_global_task_model_dir = 
"--DIR--/etc/global_task_models";

  So, I do propose the following:

  - 'etc'     => '--CONFDIR--',
  - replacing every "--DIR--/etc" with $Conf{'etc'}

  Thanks for commenting on this.
