As far as I know changing the default settings of an application in /usr/ |
| 18 |
share/<application>/ is respected, until the package is reinstalled and any |
| 19 |
changes overwritten by the new version. For changes in a configuration to |
| 20 |
remain following an update, using a config file in /etc or depending on the |
| 21 |
package in /home is recommended - but it depends on the specific package what |
| 22 |
config files it sources. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Files with configuration examples for reference only, are stored in /usr/ |
| 25 |
share/doc/<application>/ and as Rainer noted changes here won't make a |
| 26 |
difference in the application itself. |
