The kernel.org servers use Cogito which needs a new release. So the

Ah yes, I remember the discussion about that.
Sebastian, could you include a matching gitweb.cgi into your 
Debian-Package?

And what about something like:

if (-e '/etc/gitweb.conf') { requite '/etc/gitweb.conf'; }

after the variable settings? The included file would then set 
$projectroot and friends to the local values so that I don't have to 
patch gitweb everytime I upgrade it. Since perl has no plain "include" 
and the require doesn't really work for me (it seems to include the 
file, but the variables stay the same), I leave it up to you (I would 
have been so proud to provide you a patch, but obviously my perl 
knowledge is worse than I thought).

My latest version is here:
 ftp://ehlo.org/gitweb.cgi
 

Thanks for pointing that out. I had the impression, on ehlo.org is only 
a installed version, not a downloadable one.

And as a last side note it would be helpfull if you could include a 
release number in the gitweb footer as you did in the very beginning so 
that we know if something changed and there is new stuff to explore...
   

It is in the html-source, right at the top.
 

Good hiding-place....
