Hello,
is there a way to shortcut the absolute path in the dovecot.conf file for
the various referenced files? Something like:
Now:
acl = pgsql:/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf
mail_executable = \
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/libexec/dovecot/rawlog \
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/libexec/dovecot/imap
Short #1 - relative to dir of conf file
acl = pgsql:dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf
mail_executable = ../libexec/dovecot/rawlog ../libexec/dovecot/imap
Relative paths are currently evaluated relative to /tmp or '.', it looks
like. Because of the different useages of the .conf file, this variant
will be troublesome, I guess.
Short #2 - use variables as in the shell
INSTALL := /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2
acl = pgsql:$INSTALL/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf
mail_executable = \
$INSTALL/libexec/dovecot/rawlog \
$INSTALL/libexec/dovecot/imap
So you need to define the path just one time in the file.
Maybe use %$INSTALL instead of $INSTALL, in order to _not_ introduce
another metacharacter and break backwards compatibly.
Short #3 - pseudo variable (%* here) with modifier (I == installpath)
acl = pgsql:%I*/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf
The background is to support multiple parallel installations,
e.g. during testing, I cannot rely on symlinks, but want that all
stuff in a conf file is referenced to the same install tree.
Bye,
