Splitting innreport.conf into 2 files?

Hi all, innreport.conf consists of about 50 lines of general parameters and then of about 2400 lines for configuring what to display in the report. I believe most users do not need to configure the display. Having it in innreport.conf does not permit fixing possible bugs or improving it during an INN update. Couldn't <pathetc>/innreport.conf be split into: - <pathetc>/innreport.conf for general parameters only - <path???>/innreport-display.conf (or any better name) for the rest I'm wondering what would be the better path for that other file (as it contains configuration, it would be <pathetc> but we do not modify these files during an update...). Of course, a new parameter should be added in innreport.conf to specify an alternate display file (display_conf_file "" related to <pathetc> this time). Any suggestion to improve that? Of course, if you also think something should be done. The main reason I see is to permit changing the displaying sections in releases. I am not convinced the current way we parameter innreport is the best thing to do. (And totally rewriting innreport is a bit of work...) -- Julien ÉLIE « – Il est parti comme il est venu… – Il ne faisait que passer… » (Astérix) _______________________________________________ inn-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/inn-workers
