The one global file could use regex syntax for selecting options for various packages. I generally like having all the config of one type in one place. Imagine a structure like that: REGEX1: // The regex creates a label for the package setting setting setting REGEX2: . . That way you have everything in one place, you can automatically set various settings based on, e.g., version of the package you maintain etc. regards, marek
