Not impossible, but frankly, that sort of setup would be typical for the mid-2000's. Nowadays people would rather use something like ansible to distribute the configuration. (*) For us as distribution maintainers, these arbitrarily configurable paths are a nightmare. Regards Martin (In my testing and playing-around routine, I actually rely on the fact that it's possible to set a config_dir that doesn't exist. Under normal operation, it doesn't - if I want to experiment, I just move something there. But I think I could easily live with built-time settings). -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
