[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#474913: javascript-common: Serious problem with global /javascript configuration

[rory]

Package: javascript-common
Version: 5
Followup-For: Bug #474913


We have a large number of virtual servers with javascript files rooted
to "/javascript".

The /etc/javascript-common/javascript-common.conf file overrode all of
those configurations when the server was restarted. It took a little
while to work out what the problem was.

I'd like to suggest that such a configuration change should be made more
visible to the person upgrading the system and should provide a choice
about whether or not is should be enabled.

Thanks
Rory
