LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Slackpkg and config files

Slackpkg and config files

So when pipewire updates, all the config files in /usr/share/pipewire are updated. I've got some specific things in /usr/share/pipewire/jack.conf, and need to do a diff on these every time pipewire updates. Is there a way I can specify that file in my configs of slackpkg or slackpkg+ to prompt me before overwriting that file? (I realize for 99.9% of Slackware users, they will never need to touch that file.)

It takes me two seconds to restore from the backup of jack.conf, but I'm wondering if there's a way I could automate it somewhat with slackpkg, the way other config files are.

IIRC custom configs should land in /etc/pipewire/

I thought that changed to using /usr/share for configs now?

For the default one, yes

man pipewire.conf ;-)

Code:

  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire/pipewire.conf



      /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf



      /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf



      /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/



      /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/



      $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/

Gotcha, thanks. That'll work. :)

Seems ~/.config/pipewire will also work. That seems to be a good option, as well.
