Subject: Allow slim to use custom config file

Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:35:57 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: slim
Version: 1.3.1-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


It would be good if slim could read an additional configurations file so
that the user can use various config file tags without having to edit   
/etc/slim.conf as this is a conffile and the user editing it might      
at a later point be a source of confusion or problem for said user if   
the conffile gets edited by the package maintainer.                     

The attached patch will allow slim to first read slim.conf and then
read /etc/slim.d/slim_custom.conf . This way any options specified in 
slim_custom.conf will override said options in slim.conf              

Regards 
Nikolas
