syntax highlighting

[Anthony LaTorre]

Hi all,

I've recently installed cgit on CentOS 6 from the EPEL repository.
Unfortunately python3 is not available for CentOS 6. I have a couple
of questions:

- Why the hard dependency on python 3? I realize this is really a
packaging problem, but the syntax-highlighting.py doesn't look too
complex. Is there a reason python2 is not supported? Would a patch be
welcome?

- I have manually installed python3 but I still don't see any of the
source files. I have verified that the script appears to be working by
running:

$ cat code.h | /usr/libexec/cgit/filters/syntax-highlighting.py code.h

and I do see what appears to be the correct HTML.

How can I debug why I am not seeing anything? Is there a log file somewhere?

Thanks,

Tony
