Hi all
I know we stopped shipping default config file because it leads to
unability to change effectively defaults. However some kind of default
config is useful when you want to configure manually for whatever
reason. So what about shipping some minimal default config file
(as /config.default.inc.php) only with commonly used settings? I'd
suggest just one server section + blowfish secret. This would
hopefully prevent users blindly copying libraries/config.defaults.php.
Comments?

that's what i supposed some weeks ago,
someone said no "for security reasons".
but together with auth type = cookie i can't see such danger.

No reply so far? :-)
Any objections against putting attached file into CVS?

Michal,
please wait a bit, I still have to think about this and why we had
decided against.
Users who want all configuration options would still want to copy
config.defaults.php.

Michal wrote 'shipping', released version that is, not in CVS.
that can't be harmful if only cookie and blowfish is included.
if you have your own config , you override/edit it anyway.

To better help users (that use releases and do not checkout CVS), maybe
this contents could be part of create-release.sh, then generated as
config.inc.php at release time?

I don't think so, but feel free to do so.

Don't you think they will still want to copy the default config file
to get more options and avoid cut&paste job?

I prefer directing them to setup when config not found, but I'm not
strictly convinced it is better...

Most people do not use that much options. IMHO they simply don't read
doc and need config file to be able to connect to MySQL, so they take
defaults one. Now they will have one in top level directory and it
should help them.
