Description

I've deployed a new Gitea from current main branch v1.19.0-dev-263-gefa708501 and libravatar lookup is not occurring.

It may or may not be related to the recent deprecation of app.ini setting. The install procedure allows you to configure it and writes it into app.ini but evidently doesn't write it in database where it now belongs ?

Things only work after I enable federated avatar from the admin screen, where it appears as disabled despite the corresponding checkbox being checked at install time. The database table system_setting did not contain any record with setting_key = picture.enable_federated_avatar which was taken by Gitea as meaning DISABLED . I guess the previous behavior was for the default to be ENABLED judging from the install screen checkbox being checked by default.

Another problem (needs a separate ticket?) is that you can NOT re-enable gravatar after disabling it from the admin screen, as it has no effect (reloading the page keeps shows the control turned on even if you try to turn it off)

I'm re-doing the process from scratch, from empty database and no app.ini -- doing so I realized that "libravatar" was NOT enabled by default, so I must have done that myself.

The libravatar enabling at install time is fixed by #22326 so I'm closing this. Will file a new ticket for the inability to change configuration.
