The single file configuration template is generated on package build time from the same directory that ends up as the source for the multiple-file configuration. That generation process can be repeated on demand on the target system (update-exim4.conf.template). The actual config file is being generated on he target system at run time either from the single file configuration template or the multiple-file configuration, depending on the debconf setting. So I'd say they're pretty much equivalent. >If so, then what are we really arguing about: they are isomorphic. >Perhaps a tool could generate the single-file config for easier >double-checking of the split-file config. That tool is already there. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
