XO Config export and import
-
Currently, those of us building XO from source can't easily move the XO config from one VM to another. See discussion here with @olivier. A simple change to this line of the XO source would make this feature available to us.
Any thoughts on the best way to implement this so that we can have access to this feature without breaking future builds?
-
So if that line needs to be modified, to what does it need to be changed?
IDK if this is something we could easily inject during the compile.
-
It might be as simple as just removing that block of code...
-
I know @scottalanmiller is kind with piping text into files.
What is the exact path to this file?
-
The local file can be found in /opt/xo-web/src/xo-app/settings/config
-
So as we're having the side bar, we need to pull any changes from the official github down first, then we need to search this file and perform a replacement of the 5 to a 6.
Lastly we need to compile from there.
-
So I'm testing now with my 16.10 system... will update shortly.
edit: next-release since this is already current with stable.

Just finalizing the conversation here that we feel pretty confident in the changes we've made to the update script.
You can update by downloading a new copy of the script or manually making the changes to the file.
The script will now reset any custom git changes that don't match the source, then the script will proceed, and make the necessary changes to enable the feature so you can import your config files.
