Description

please add support of using variables in conditionals. This would allow more flexible configuration.

for example: {{{conf.d/mod_fastcgi.conf}}}:


mod_fastcgi = 1
server.modules += ("mod_fastcgi")

and {{{webapps.d/appname.conf}}}:


if $mod_fastcgi == "1" {
// do mod_fastcgi based configuration
} else {
// do mod_cgi based configuration
}

hrm.. maybe u can use cpp


#!c
#define HAVE_MOD_FASTCGI
server.modules += ("mod_fastcgi")
....
#ifdef ...
// do mod_fastcgi based configuration
#else
// do mod_cgi based configuration
#endif


#!ShellExample
$ cpp abc.conf.in -o abc.conf


include_shell "cpp sub.conf.in -o -"

cpp (macro lang) is a bit easier than m4 (macro lang again). cpp is discussed in php dev list when they need one for php script.

unfortunately cpp adding isn't so transparent. it would change completely syntax for file, as you can use C comments (// and /* */) and # are directives for cpp:


# head /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
# lighttpd configuration file.
// some comment

include_shell "/bin/cat conf.d/*.conf"
