A lot of packages have been following the systemd module wherein they check for /etc first and if it's empty they will use the version in /usr/lib[64]/<default_config_path>, but this is being done on an app-by-app basis. I think the OSTree solution is actually quite elegant, since it doesn't require every application to change its config file handling. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
