No mailmerge_server.conf file in the repository #153

Closed robstewart57 closed 1 year ago

The README.md file says:

Other configuration examples are in the comments of mailmerge_server.conf

However there isn't a mailmerge_server.conf file in the repository.

The server configuration examples are currently in create_sample_input_files in __main__.py https://github.com/awdeorio/mailmerge/blob/develop/mailmerge/__main__.py#L183

The current method to get a set a sample files is mailmerge --sample, which writes the files to the present working directory. Another way to do it would be for the mailmerge --sample to copy sample files from the package install directory to the PWD.

I assume that you're thinking it would be useful to be able to read that config file without needing to use the tool to generate a file. Or maybe I'm missing something. A little more context would help.

My bad, I completely missed this @awdeorio .

Perhaps very marginally it would be useful to have a mailmerge_server.conf file in the repository without needing to run mailmerge --sample, e.g. if a user was using the GitLab website as a tutorial. However, that file would need to be versioned with every change to create_sample_input_files, creating duplication.

I'll close this issue.
