Best place for local config setting? Hmm....
/usr/local ?
It would be /usr/local/etc/* for local configs, but I doubt this would work. At best, a file there would supersede the distribution file. This would have to be tested file by file, IMO.
Never tried here. /usr/local/s are on separate filesystems, one per machine, mounted same place regardless what is booted.
/etc/ is one of the most irritating openSUSE habits, changing file timestamps on files I changed even when none of the file's content is or has any reason to be changed. Lately in TW everything in /etc/sysconfig/ getting new. :-( If I can't count on system files I modify being preserved there, where else? Does everything there have to have a .local added or be made immutable? Immutable on hostname halts zypper with exception message every update to netcfg, which in TW, is inexplicably often. :-(
I forgot about "/etc/sysconfig/*" The problem with it is that settings there are ignored on newer development designs. The variables stay, nothing removes them, but they no longer work. People try them, fail, then ask. Most recent case? Thread about displaymanager. Now has to be done via updatealternatives. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
