Directories and Files

/etc/packages has the config. You should net have to modify these

/usr/local/packages is where package files (.txz) are stored

/usr/local/etc/packages is where package configuration files are stored.

/usr/local/packages/EXCLUDES is a list of files to excluded from upgrading. For example, suppose you customize tabs-config for the gui and you've added something to /etc/rc.local and don't want those files to be overwritten in an upgrade. You could add these files to EXCLUDES to keep them from being changed:

/etc/bwmgr/tabs-config /etc/rc.local

One full file path per line.

Package configuration files are auto-maintained and you should not edit any of these files unless instructed to do so by support.
