There is a better way. Right now asterisk can be called with a custom location for the primary config (-C option). If there was also a configuration command to redirect any other file then administrators could create their own versions of configs, probably in their own versioning system, and point to it from the main config. That way the installation directories never need to be written to and new versions can overwrite existing files without affecting the operation. I realize that you can set astetcdir to another location in your custom asterisk.conf but that means keeping copies of all the configs elsewhere. I just want to keep copies of configs that I have modified. -- D'Arcy J.M.
