hmm.. what about splitting config file into template and then what the user actually wants... that makes cvs updates easier i think.

i mean there would be a config.pm with all the stuff in it and then an config.user.pm which is loaded after config.pm where you just copy&paste the values you want to change from the default. so you can always easy see what you changed from default values.

That's sound good. :-) But I would change it. Kernel/ConfigDefault.pm (default values, loaded at first) Kernel/Config.pm (just your own config changes, loaded after Kernel/ConfigDefault.pm) And the update would be much easier (CVS/RPM/tar). You never have to update to a new config system/format... A good idea! By default there would be no Kernel/Config.pm in the tar.gz. Just one like Kernel/Config.pm.dist. And this would be a good update solution for tar.gz user! To all: What do you think? PS: Thanks Bastian!
