How to update configs in /usr/local/etc after persisting?
« on: December 08, 2014, 11:03:21 AM »
Since the extensions are mounted read-only, what's the normal way to update anything in /usr/local/etc ?

Hi eno
Replace the link in  /usr/local/etc  with a copy of the file it is pointing to. Edit the file with your changes and add it to your backup.

Packages with config files expected to be modified by user have a startup script which checks exestence of the config file. If doesn't exist they are creating it or copying a default version. If exists this is skipped. Makes a life easier. Study scripts in /usr/local/tce.installed how is it done.
