Environment variables are stored in the bedrock config file #222

Closed yellowsink closed 3 years ago

System environment variables are generally stored in /etc/environment, however bedrock resets this each boot and requires setting it in /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just keep /etc/environment stored in the bedrock stratum and not on any other strata?

This is one of the many files typical Linux systems used to manipulate environment variables, yes.

however bedrock resets this each boot and requires setting it in /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf.

This is a known defect I plan to resolve in 0.8 Naga. For the time being, the recommended work around is indeed to set one's desired variables in bedrock.conf.

I don't follow how this makes more. More sense than what? In what way?
