Sometimes it makes sense to split files, e.g. for "actual configuration" vs "site/vhost configuration" but most of the time settings spread randomly throughout different files are hard to read, to understand and to configure in my opinion. This does not mean, I won't do what you suggest but you need to convince me, why your layout is much better than mine (well - or you convince Olaf). > Yes, exactly.

I'm afraid, but we have no influence at all what other distributions choose as configuration layout and/or which files they ship. Eventually Suse (or whatever) still continues to ship a lighttpd.conf happily specifying their own pidfile stuff there. If you want to introduce such a change among all Linux distributions, you better get upstream to split their configuration files out of the box to make sure distributions will follow more likely. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOhYV/AAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtHXsQANBhHutWDcpzJlmTBoWeekyn hKtBxHBPmVy1goJyIO0YpwBcSbmvLnhOPmpmPMMuWI02mTAqKNPY/xF1QSJj7FH5 +O48H2qaXV749wmb81+wUxfc8KCmraga4gmYpLTKO/n0KCTMMWcjHwzyt9HFe/ec V7owi+DKQn6J8/BMR4+0x26qy1wd2jhaGwEe1hCOSv7KDlTqXUNAYs4Xg9v2RX8l rJqI2SURlpSUeXRmjTv0urxeIIMCD8vjEHdDBAG+OmPuyXr64QDUiOdl3bPud8+0 K5Co+Z6XbJFzXyco0LEYKlcsLaqwWmxPi7rm+y7H0/NzGIut/DA5rL1RwGYBvq8d hv94cdl93kQ+GhhCVBiovrEizS6vJkLKjMioxkbMSnb8bTPassvcb0XrUOXbhQUF wKCWzTOLBF891GuU/t6QEVlCb0oET5cKcBFNWocCIDZeTtpAmvYlC35NVo4L/MyE KuKEW6L8tW+cMF8yTQyEHPfWb1McgBPpKJGXNQMRsnagONNv/3b8W9leGvE3qI5d fc24Hs92RVOC+5861C92riq/pg4FXQYHLSWc+D69d2CLv2/4toUajOXa8FExVtxZ 463rTNVIM0DbQ19iNMBJrf7cYDNkYnbSNtYgHYVjiiMdJ4dh+T87oP8yZCVxjwKu 2HIRQQIL3Yd/Vm7roDSP =Csz4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
