Which would require some `glue logic`to extract and reinsert configuration data in the current location(s). Let's not kid ourselves, most of the packages have their own configuration system which makes unifying a difficult issue. Part of this may be achieved with Alex's diff scripts. Another aproach would be to base the config on the `new config system` by Chad and Lynn, but I don't know how far this has come. And even if we had this new config system, it would require to write the glue for each and every package and update it for each release. I would be happy if the shorewall config files had an `INCLUDE filename` statement which would allow to keep the config data from the explanation. I personally like the explanation section in the config files a lot but it makes it difficult to move to a new release. The actual location of the configuration data is an everlasting discussion amongst developers. Most packages nowadays come with a configure script which often has a configuration location target. I believe a certain standardisation could be achieved if the LEAF branches agree on certain paths.
