------------------------+-----------------------
 After installation lnst doesn't have any configuration files created yet.
 At this point the application runs using the default values.

 The first launch of the application should create the user configuration
 file containing the currently setup values (these will probably be the
 defaults).

 The file will be ~/.lnst/lnst.conf

 The following runs should be using the configuration contained within this
 file.

Comment:

 This should be a fairly small patch, I have it mostly finished. But I have
 question that needs answering first. The patchset [1] I posted on Tuesday,
 makes it so that we can handle the operator '+=' on some of the options.
 The config however is not able to distinguish which values were loaded
 from where therefore it is only able to blindly dump its contents to
 string/file.

 How should I act in case of options that can use '+='? Should the dumped
 file contain the operator '=' and all the values loaded up until now? or
 should it contain '+=' and no values because they will be loaded from the
 config files with a lower priority?

 I know this is a minor issue but asking never hurts...

Comment (by jirka):

 I do not have strong opinion. Do whatever you like best.

Comment:

 Patch set applied, closing this ticket as resolved. Now what remains is to
 input the correct default values. That will be done when creating the
 package.
