[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] xmlconfig: read more config files from drirc.d/

[Yu, Qiang]

OK, I'll move /etc/drirc to /usr/share/drirc.d.

For /etc/drirc and /etc/drirc.d, I agree to keep /etc/drirc for keeping
user convention of the previously usage of this file. As newly added
/etc/drirc.d, just for admin's flexibility, I can drop it if no clear needs
for now.

Regards,
Qiang

Hmm, based on experience with Xorg, I'd rather keep /etc/drirc and not
add /etc/drirc.d/ than the other way around.

Is there a use case for an administrator using multiple snippets in
/etc/drirc.d/ ?
