How to deal with overloaded config files?
#1
Hello


Some system-tools (e.g. udev, eg25-manager, ...) allow you to overload the configuration by placing a changed version below `/etc`. As long as the package maintainer does not adjust the original configuration this works fine. If the config is changed and you are not aware of that, your systems might behave "strange" (it no longer does the things you expect).
What is the best way to keep track of changes in config files where a cloned config was created?

My attempt is reflected in the attached file.
