ssh: set a valid locale in the ssh-serve process
In the SSH client configuration, the setting 'SendEnv' could contain variables
like 'LANG', 'LC_ALL', and others. This causes these environment variables
(with their values at the client-side) to be set in the server. However, not
every locale setting valid in the client, is also valid on the server.
This could lead to the error:
'locale.Error: unsupported locale setting'
when 'from mercurial import archival, merge as hg_merge, patch, ui' is
called.
Fix this problem by providing an ini setting 'ssh_locale' that the user can
set correctly, and which will be used to set LC_ALL and LANGUAGE in the
'kallithea-cli ssh-serve' process.
If an environment variable LC_ALL is set, it takes precedence over all other
'LC_xxx' variables, as well as over LANG. So, setting LC_ALL ensures that no
user setting of 'LC_xxx' or 'LANG' could influence ssh-serve badly.
There is one environment variable that might overrule LC_ALL, specifically
for showing messages: 'LANGUAGE'. GNU gettext lets it take precedence over
LC_ALL [1]:
"GNU gettext gives preference to LANGUAGE over LC_ALL and LANG for the
purpose of message handling"
So, also set LANGUAGE to the same value as we set LC_ALL to.
The principle of setting a specific locale in the server process to fix this
error, was first proposed by Dominik Ruf.

=============
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*.
Style sheet customization with Less
-----------------------------------
Kallithea uses `Bootstrap 3`_ and Less_ for its style definitions. If you want
to make some customizations, we recommend to do so by creating a ``theme.less``
file. When you create a file named ``theme.less`` in the Kallithea root
directory, you can use this file to override the default style. For example,
you can use this to override ``@kallithea-theme-main-color``,
``@kallithea-logo-url`` or other `Bootstrap variables`_.
After creating the ``theme.less`` file, you need to regenerate the CSS files, by
running::
kallithea-cli front-end-build --no-install-deps
.. _bootstrap 3: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/
.. _bootstrap variables: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/customize/#less-variables
.. _less: http://lesscss.org/
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::
kallithea-cli extensions-create -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.
