Package: pkg-perl-tools
Version: 0.45
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
when trying to modify DPT_PACKAGES for some hacking on our meta.git, it
took me a while to figure out I had both ~/.dpt.conf and
~/.config/dpt.conf.
It's a trap! The vars in .config/dpt.conf have precedance over the ones
in ~/.dpt.conf.
It would be nice to have a warning about it when both exists, or at
least to mention that in the documentation.
Cheers,
nodens
