Hi,


Why does most of Openbox ebuilds rename epistrc to epistrc.default ? epist tries
to load /usr/share/commonbox/epistrc if there is no ~/.openbox/epistrc , is it
somehow bad for it to load default settings?


Regards,
V

it's done on purpose. just `cp epistrc.default epistrc` and everything will be fine. The reason is, when you up update openbox epistrc.default will get overwritten. if you copy it to "epistrc" your changes will remain after an upgrade.

Wouldn't it be cleaner fix if you relocated the whole file to /etc so it will be protected by CONFIG_PROTECT of Portage. And would be a more standard place to put it in anyway(as far as i know).
