Right now the Debian package takes care of this with soft links.  A more robust solution would be to have the core client look for the files in a list of places, using the first it finds.   The files in the working directory would be checked first, and used if they exist.  The files in /etc/boinc would be checked and used if nothing is found in the working directory.  \r\n\r\nSee the discusion at  http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/UnixClientPackage\n\nMigrated-From: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/627"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/comments/72884787","html_url":"https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/605#issuecomment-72884787","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BOINC/boinc-ng/issues/605","id":72884787,"user":{"login":"romw","id":985772,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/985772?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw","html_url":"https://github.com/romw","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/romw/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-04T16:19:37Z","updated_at":"2015-02-04T16:19:37Z","body":"**Commented by romw on 8 Feb 38315492 05:20 UTC**\nIsn't /etc only supposed to be tweaked by administrators?\r\n\r\nThis would work well for package installs where BOINC is being installed as a daemon, but how is this supposed to work is BOINC has been installed by the user in their home directory?\r\n\r\nIt should probably be:\r\n~/etc\r\n/usr/etc\r\n/etc\r\n\r\nOr something to that effect."}}
