I don't like the idea; I much prefer the idea of copying them from somewhere in /etc, as redhat does. The default config file in /etc can then be modified so that it matches the distribution (redhat have their cd at /mnt/cdrom) and it can be modified by the sysadmin
The less modification to the install process the better. If there was a single location the files could be installed to that would work for all distros I think this is the route to head in. Otherwise I can't see why it is all that bad to stuff them into the binary to avoid the problem all together.
Another feature could be a command line switch that would rebuild a users config, like:
'wine --rebuild-config'
that would reset the users config back to the defaults.
Interesting idea
Sound like something reasonable? Should we instead be putting the default files somewhere on the users machine and copying them over like the patch does?
Yes
