Re: [torrus-users] PATCH: torrus-1.0.9 - always install .sample files for baseline configuration

[Stanislav S. <ssi...@ya...>]

hi Corey,

as a contra-reason for these patches, 
torrus-siteconfig.pl and site-global.xml had their latest modification 6 years 
ago, 

you can see that in 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/torrus/browser/trunk/src/configs

that's simply because they are not supposed to change, and all new features are 
placed 

elsewhere.
