Weekend Projects: killing buffer.c and array.c

As part of a weekend project I’m ripping 1.5 apart a bit. I worked with glib for quite some time now and feel the need to replace the base-structures around “buffer” (strings) and “array” (hash) apart and replace it with the glib counter-parts.

To make this a nice experience and that I don’t harm anyone else I imported trunk into a local bzr tree:

bzr clone svn://svn.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/

to clone the SVN tree.

Let’s see how well that experiment goes.

Weekends Projects: lua as config-language

With the first implementation of mod_cml and later mod_magnet smart users asked why we don’t use lua also as config language for lighttpd.

Up to now I was pushing back and saying that a huge change in the configfile would make upgraders very unhappy as they would have to rewrite the config files. Looking at what we have for 1.5.0 right now, we need tweaks anyway.
