Hi everyone,
Just thought I should give a heads up that I have just implemented the
following blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nav/+spec/reduce-dbconf-complexity
The changes have been merged to the default branch, see
http://metanav.uninett.no/hg/default/log/83c18db13fdc .
For those using the APIs provided with NAV to get DB connection
parameters there should be no problems. But if you have some hackish
code that parses or uses options from db.conf outside of the supported
APIs, be aware that a a lot of options have now disappeared from the
default db.conf.
Of the script_* and db_* parameters, only "script_default" and
"db_nav" are now required. The APIs will fall back to these two
options when the wanted script_* and db_* options are missing.
You can still connect as a different user if needed (e.g. for
debugging purposes) by adding the needed options as before.
