Hi everyone, the current IncludeConfig implementation has some issues, especially for distributers: All files in the directory as specified by $IncludeConfig are included. This means, temp files like *~ *.bak etc that are left behind by editors, or stuff like *.rpmsave or *.dpkg-old/*.dpkg-new. This is obviously unfortunate.
How shall we solve this? 1.) I patched the Debian package to only include files ending with *.conf. If we document that properly this is imho an acceptable solution. 2.) Implement an internal blacklist of endings that are ignored (see above) 3.) Instead of hardcoding the file ending to *.conf (as in 1.), use the same syntax as e.g. apache, which allows to specify shell globs: example: Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf What do you think?
