Package: python-moinmoin Version: 1.9.4-8+deb7u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the "moin" script is patched in Debian to default to the /etc/moin directory instead of the current directory when looking for the moin config (farmconfig.py or wikiconfig.py). If you need to use a different directory, you can pass the --config-dir option to the "moin" command. When you pass --config-dir=/foo, the first two entries in the pythonpath will be /foo, followed by /etc/moin. However, when looking for the config files, moinmoin first tries to import farmconfig and only if that fails tries to import wikiconfig. So if your /foo path only contains a wikiconfig, then the farmconfig will import the config from /etc/moin and there isn't really any way to actually make the command pick the right config. In a way, this is an upstream bug, since even without the Debian patch the same problem will occur (I think) when the current directory contains a farmconfig.py and you want to use /foo/wikiconfig.py. However, then you can just change your current directory to work around this. The Debian patch causes this problem to always occur (since it ships a farmconfig.py) and makes it impossible (AFAICS) to work around it. I would suggest to patch MoinScript.py, to only add /etc/moin to the pythonpath when --config-dir is _not_ specified. This should make the --config-dir option work as expected (or at least as good as the upstream version), I think. Gr.
