byobu

New configuration files?

Asked by Ryan Kaskel

I keep all my byobu configuration files in version control. After a recent update, I noticed some new files:

$ ls -la
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ryan ryan 25 2011-07-20 08:35 status.1 -> /usr/share/byobu/status/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ryan ryan 25 2011-07-20 08:35 status.2 -> /usr/share/byobu/status/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ryan ryan 25 2011-07-20 08:35 status.3 -> /usr/share/byobu/status/3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ryan ryan 25 2011-07-20 08:35 status.4 -> /usr/share/byobu/status/4
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryan ryan 0 2011-07-20 08:35 statusrc
....

What is "statusrc"? Is it the replacement for "status"? Are these status/N files convenient presets?

I'm trying to figure out what to put under version control and if any old settings files have been deprecated.

Thanks,
Ryan Kaskel

Those are 4 new configuration files, that most users will never need
to touch, which why they're symlinks to /usr/share.

This is the new way to define the order and arrangement of status
notifications in the status lines. If you wanted to rearrange the
placement of, say, the clock, you could change the location of time
and date in those files.

If you modify them yourself, you'd probably want them under version control.

Can you help with this problem?
