[projectM-devel] sysconfdir

[Hai Z. <ha...@gm...>]

First of all, Peter, thank you for opening mailing list. I hope you
find it useful :). I'll think I'll forward all my xmms-project related
correspondence for sake of history.

Quote from forum:
--------------------------
The problem with sysconfdir is just that I feel weird putting
/usr/local/etc on people's computer just for projectM's config file.
My personal experience is that very few packages use /usr/local/etc
with default options.

Anyway, to solve the problem I put the default config file into
$DATADIR. ~/.projectM/ is created at runtime if necessary, and the
config file is copied there. So the copy of the config in DATADIR is
only used when creating ~/.projectM.

I'm going to try and do something with ~/.projectM/presets. Maybe we
should have that conversation on the mailing list.
--------------------------
What ever you are happy with :)
Just have in mind that you will have same config file replicated over
all of the user  home directories and although now its only about 1k,
its not good as a strategy.
But again, currently its cost-effective, and again what ever you are
happy with :)

Best.
