webapp-config 1.50.9

The new webapp-config version features a few minor bug fixes:

• Allows to declare that files are owned by the web server and config-protected at the same time.
• Displays correct instructions after upgrading an application
• Improved error message for situations like this one
• "Correctly" handles broken symlinks

Applications that allow you to modify the configuration through the web should benefit from the first fix. Modifying the permissions of the configuration files should not be necessary anymore.

The "symlink" fix allows to correctly install typo3. Renat fixed the ebuild and added it to our overlay.

The transition to the python version has been rather smooth so far and we received no complaints over bugzilla. If it continues like this we should be able to mark the tool stable in February.

Meanwhile webapp-config-1.60 is progressing. It will mainly feature some major internal changes to allow further improvements of the software.
