I would prefer conf.d :p > * sites.d for site-specific configuration Cool. It's at this point however that I ask if we should ever have any /usr/lib/httpd/conf/ structure added? It's a kinda tough on here as apache config is very much meant to be edited, but if packages (and packaged modules) are shipping config files, perhaps they should be installed in /usr/lib instead and made non-editable (i.e. not %config) where admins are meant to provide any customisations they need into files in /etc/. While this is the general approach that is being attempted in other areas of the system, I'm not 100% convinced it really works well for apache setups! Still some food for thought :) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
