The .99.28 automatic configuration migration might create some
discussions about touching people's config files.
I am on the fence as to what is best way to handle malformed config files.
I believe ignoring errors in config files so Cherokee does run and
prompting the user with visual notice at runtime in Cherokee-Admin and
in relative logs with error and way to clean it up is likely the best
route.
One of my big gripes with Apache in the past is the ability to malform
config files and thus not be able to actually run it. This applies to
a lot of open source software and I run up against it regularly.
MySQL is another culprit with easy to malform config files.
Point is, especially since 90%+ or more of users are config'ing
Cherokee through Admin GUI is that the GUI should sanity check the
config data on the way in so Cherokee can always be ran. Final layer
of handling should be in Cherokee-worker - extraneous or duplicative
config data should be ignored but noted by worker.
That's the approach I'd take if possible. Insure Cherokee can always
run and deal with exceptions gracefully.
