It might be premature as well as half baked - I am just testing out the thought, however here is my thinking...

There is a folder called extensions in the dialplan folder. The nice thing about this folder is that it is read in by a simple xml preprocessing command that says go get *.xml

Currently, it is being called from the Default dialplan.

Borrowing from the Apache HTTPD style configuration, everything to customize the install is done with additional files as opposed to editing anything that ships with the software. So This works, however, we should be able to specify the name of a root configuration folder - this way all config can sit way outside of the app tree - for example, to place the FS app in one folder and have all external config in a different folder not under the same path - thereby ensuring upgrade safety.

My patch is only going to work with dialplans, but I propose making it a pattern to follow.

In the dialplan, I am making a folder for each context that will be loaded externally and postfixing a ".d" on the end, so for example default.d and public.d

Make sense?

I am working on a patch that would externalize the install configs, much the same way as the extensions folder (which i propose to be called "default")

The new folders will be the same name as the context they are called from, for example the one i am most interested in is "public.d"

Any objections?

Make current will not work from release tarballs but if you grab the
new version it should install without wiping out your config.

Yes "make current" will update you without breaking your existing
configs.  Even if you do "make samples" it won't overwrite your
configs bit it will replace any missing conf files with default ones.

At the moment I'm using FS version 1.0.0.

I want to upgrade to the latest version.
Can I just type
#make current    (?)    :working:
without loosing my own (or edited standard)  conf files ?
