That would mean shipping the same conffile as '/usr/share/dicoweb/settings_defaults.py' for eg. And adding a custom Debian patch in all these files forever: dicoweb/templatetags/media.py: from django.conf import settings dicoweb/urls.py:from django.conf import settings dicoweb/views.py:from django.conf import settings with a try/except that would import from 'settings_defaults' if the original import fails. That also means we would need to track newer versions for such imports to augment the patch, forever. That is horribly ugly to say the least, and for a kind of symlink used to move the config in /etc, which is far from being unheard of in Debian. Also, a user who has a custom config. would rather prefer that dicoweb would fail to start instead of open with default config if the symlink became dangling for some reason. Can't there be another workaround for this ? -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyIDs: 4096R/A7EF5671 2048R/EDDDA1B7 GPG Fingerprints: 6E2E E4BB 72E2 F417 D066 6ABF 7B30 B496 A7EF 5761 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7
