[bug #21297] wrong GNUstep.conf position

[Nicola Pero]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #21297 (project gnustep):

Thanks :-)

Good that we're moving towards /etc/.  That sounds good :-)

Shall we not go to /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf so that it is the
same as in all other Unix systems then ?  Not sure why we need
a different location for OpenBSD ?  Consistency across all
systems for the 'default' path looks quite attractive to me; 
it's simple and predictable.  Of course, specific 
ports/packaging can install wherever they want.

Btw, you seem to think it would be useful to have the "normal" 
default (ie, the location used when you install from source
by hand) and the ports location (ie, the location used when you
install from source using the ports) to be the same ?

Any advantages ?

Presumably it's easier to overwrite the ports package with your
own ?  Couldn't that be considered a disadvantage too ?

Thanks
