I missed the connection between this and whatever the original problem was. However, it *is* true that it's inconvenient to upgrade Webware or do a CVS update on it because that creates conflicts in your configuration files. One strategy I've seen in other software is to not distribute the *config files but instead distribute *config-dist files. That way the user is forced to copy and modify the files the first time, and when she upgrades, she can at her leisure compare the current default file with the previous and make changes to her files. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
