The order can be easily changed though.
I tend to say that new locations should be searched first. The reason is that the user may put new versions of config files in new locations but forget to remove the old versions. If the old location is searched first, the old version of the config file will have the precedence. However, I'm not sure. Isn't there some recommendation? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
