Summary: Configuration templates

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I'm the new Debian maintainer for the NMS scripts, and
we got some requests for having configuration outside
of the script.

Two approaches seem possible : 

- Put only the configuration in the /cgi-bin folder
(/usr/lib/cgi-bin on Debian) and have this file do the
real script
- Have configuration templates in /etc

First seems better as it allows several instances to
run with their own configurations.

Could you consider this ?

Regards,

Thanks for taking up the Debian maintenance.

You are probably better off addressing requests of this kind
to one of the mailing lists (probably
nms...@li...) as these are more
frequently read by the developers.

You aren't clear about which programs you are referring to.
 The advanced form to email program TFmail *does* keep it's
configuration separate to the main program, but for reasons
of backward compatibility this is unlikely to be something
we would like to do with the older programs.  We encourage
FormMail users who want to do something like this to upgrade
to TFmail as this is where most of the development focus is
at the moment.

It might be better if you were to refer people making these
kind of requests to one of our mailling lists so we can
discuss it further (not this crappy web interface please) as
some of the things may already be possible (or be planned
for the future.)

I'll close this ticket so we can take things forward on the
list.

/J
