Now I have another problem. I want to install freevo2 in a machine that
already has a working freevo 1.5.4 installation and I don't want to mess it
up. I have read the code and the paths to freevo config directories are
hardcoded in 3 or more modules.
There are lines like this
CONF.vfs_dir = os.path.expanduser('~/.freevo/vfs')
I think it will be better to use .freevo2 and /etc/freevo2 as path for the
config file and don't conflict with freevo1.
The problem is that the paths are hardcoded in some files and I think ugly
to change them. It will be better to have a constant-like that all modules
could use to get the user configuration. Something like:
application = 'freevo'
majorversion = '2'
minorversion = '0'
FREEVO_CONFDIR = application + majorversion
USER_CONFDIR = os.path.expanduser('~/.' + FREEVO_CONFDIR)
CONF.vfs_dir = USER_CONFDIR + '/vfs'
