class ASF::Config

Support for local (development) configuration overrides to be stored in .whimsy files in YAML format. Allows the specification of where subversion, git, and other files are stored, where updated files are cached, mailing list configuration, and other values.

Any .whimsy file in your home directory is processed first.

Additionally, a search is made for .whimsy files in the current working directory and then working up the directory path and finally in /srv. If such a .whimsy file is found, it will be processed for overrides to the configuration.

The configuration value of :root:, if provided, will establish the default root directory for a number of files/directories (among them, svn, git, and subscriptions). If the value is ‘.’ and the parent directory for this file contains a ‘whimsy` subdirectory, then the parent directory will be considered the root.
