Helper and conf passing confusion #44

Open ipmb opened 11 years ago

Since you mentioned in in #43

don't hesitate if you have any suggestions!

I found BakHelper to be difficult to work with. I started to dig into the code, but eventually gave up. I wanted to create a helper script and have it read a config from a different file path, but ran into several stumbling blocks, including:

It's likely that I'm missing something here that would make this all easier, but that was my experience as a first time user.

I know BakHelper can be confusing, the same for the configuration management.

That's why, as I said previously, I'm working on the next bakthat version and it will bring a lot of changes, and I hope, it'll make it easier to use. I paused my work on bakthat as I work on some packages I created meant to be used in the next bakthat version.

Thanks for you suggestions!! I leave the issue open, I will close it when the configuration management will be rewritten.
