gearbox: make a make-config sub-command available again
Drop the old kallithea-config command line tool and rework it to a replacement
for the make-config paster command. Make-config was experimental in paste, it
doesn't exist with gearbox, it was tied to pylons, and we already have the
luxury problem of having two ways of doing almost the same thing. This is a
good opportunity to get rid of one of them.
This replacement tool is Kallithea specific and doesn't need to be told that it
is Kallithea it has to create a config file for. The command should thus
perhaps be given a Kallithea specific name instead of the very generic name ...

=============
Customization
=============
There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------
To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.
Behavioral customization: rcextensions
--------------------------------------
Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using ``rcextensions``, a
custom Python package that can extend Kallithea functionality.
With ``rcextensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).
To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::
gearbox make-rcext -c my.ini
This will create an ``rcextensions`` package next to the specified ``ini`` file.
See the ``__init__.py`` file inside the generated ``rcextensions`` package
for more details.
Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------
As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.
We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
