But the main problem I have with the current system is, that I only see diffs between the currently installed version and the new package version. No what I really would like to see is the diff between the last version I've merged and the new package version. So changes can easily be seen (changes in defaults, new/removed parameters or just white-space changes?) and merging would work without a conflict in most cases. Similar to like SCMs work. Config::Model could be useful in addition, but would it support such a work-flow? Cheers, harry
