I saw this and could probably use it, but there are two issues here: * Debian deviates from upstream, so instructions like "just symlink gitweb.cgi here and create a config file gitweb_conf.perl ..." and so on do not work on Debian, which is bad. I think Debian and upstream should agree on the config file's location. * To set the environment variable, I would need to either add a wrapper or fiddle with my apache config. Probably the wrapper would be very small (just a one line shell script), but I would first have to test this (are all CGI parameters passed through?, questions like that).
