Good idea. I suppose we could have install.py do the copy instead. This would also avoid developers checking in their customizations, which happens on occasion. Right now install.py copies *.config to *.config.default. Seems that we just need to reverse this. Put *.default in the repository and copy to *.config. I'll make the change if no one objects. -Chuck _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
