Ubuntu Manpages

App::Cme::Command::modify

Modify the configuration of an application

version 1.026

  # modify configuration with command line
  cme modify dpkg source 'format="(3.0) quilt"'

Modify a configuration file with the values passed on the command line. These command must follow the syntax defined in Config::Model::Loader (which is similar to the output of cme dump command)

Example:

   cme modify dpkg 'source format="(3.0) quilt"'
   cme modify multistrap my_mstrap.conf 'sections:base source="http://ftp.fr.debian.org"'

Some application like dpkg-copyright allows you to override the configuration file name. You must then use "-file" option:

   cme modify dpkg-copyright -file ubuntu/copyright 'Comment="Silly example"'

See "Global Options" in cme.

Force a save even if no change was done. Useful to reformat the configuration file.
