Hi,
I've been unable to find out how to achieve this behaviour :
make installs config file in a directory
if a config file already exists then
write to progname.conf.new
warn the user about possible changes
else
write to progname.conf
fi
could someone point me to a program that has this behaviour, or tell be
how to acheive this behaviour ? (starting from scratch, please, because
I really can't figure out where to start)
I don't want the config files to the installed in sthing like share/,
and let the user copy them manually, because the program typically
installs in $HOME/progname (I've already managed to use automake for
that)
Thanks a lot,
lucas
