I agree. Sounds like we'll end up with a file that only contains options that modify behavior, as opposed to basic utilities. Possibly the following: config_opts['basedir'] = '/var/lib/mock/' config_opts['chrootuser'] = 'mockbuild' config_opts['chrootgroup'] = 'mockbuild' config_opts['chroothome'] = '/builddir' config_opts['clean'] = True # caching related options config_opts['rebuild_cache'] = True config_opts['use_cache'] = True config_opts['cache_topdir'] = "root-cache" config_opts['max_cache_age_days'] = 15 My only addition would be to say that I'd really like a better name than "defaults.cfg", which is one letter removed from the symlink default.cfg, which is the default configuration file. I don't really have a preference, just something not so easily confused. Maybe "configuration.cfg" or something like that?
