Installing gitweb on dlink323

Next step after installing git: gitweb

Following instructions from http://www.deimos.fr (Thanks to the author)

Additional instructions
That did not go as smoothly as we can expect when following a tuto, so, here are some additional help:
- mod_alias shall also be set in lighttpd.conf
- not sure my lighttp config is as expected, so I have appended the gitweb.conf example to lighttp regular config into lighttp-gitweb.conf, and started a new instance of lighttp :
lighttpd -f lighttp-gitweb.conf
- directed gitweb interface to port 8081 (since I already have one web server running on 8080)
- comment out the cgi.assign line : from 50-gitweb.conf :
# cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )


gitweb configuration
By default, projects have no description, and owner may not be properly set. Here are tips to change it:
- description:
- edit .git/description file
- add a single text line
- owner:
- edit .git/config file, and add a new section :
[gitweb]
owner = "My name"
