For a start it should be enough to introduce such meta settings within a configuration management tool or system. Such as CFG or the "tweaks". > "tweaks" not because I want them to last, but because I want > our interim hacks to be easily adoptable by package maintainers! The approaches to allow this seem similar. Providing *functionality* to change/manage configuration on the installed system according to rules. From a short glimpse I could not tell how modularized "tweaks" are. I.e. if maintanance of config file syntax-specific things and default settings for example can be separated. It's probably a good idea to go with whatever we can get a broad consensus and support with. If a common debian-custom effort could contemplate to also include the needs of GUI end-users, scripting admins, even app developers and other distros there are already some developers that wanted to start dcontrol along the original CFG ideas for debian. http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianControlCenter -Christian
