Allow local override of code ?

Hi,


What would be the chances of getting the Venus OS to allow local overrides of code ?


I am thinking along the lines of a file called "local_bla.py" that will replace "bla.py", or perhaps a directory called "local" in each directory. The bottom line here is to allow replacement/enhancement of features when said features are not going to be GPL'ed

It would be up to the integrator to ensure that files are replaced when the OS is updated :)

Hi, you can do that already: make a script that copies your files over the original ones. Use rc.local for that, you can store that file as well as your modified versions on the data partition.


how rc.local works us documented in the root access document.
