We've had file-based configuration since r30640 (2008-08-29). I was prompted by some remarks the other day by chromatic to see what the test coverage was for this feature -- specifically, for lib/Parrot/ Configure/Options/Conf/File.pm. I checked my coverage (http:// thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/coverage.html) and was shocked to see that the statement coverage was only 25%! I then checked our repository and saw that one directory tree which I *thought* I had added to the repository -- xconf/samples/ -- in order to hold configuration files was not actually there. This meant that the documentation in Configure.pl about file-based configuration was inaccurate, as that POD instructed the user to see sample files in that directory. So this morning I opened a branch in SVN, 'fileconfig', to correct this situation. So I am writing unit tests for file-based configuration and am creating dummy copy files as needed for testing. They should be ready in a few days. Thank you very much. kid51
