[artix-general] [universe] about newer librewolf option

[Javier]

Hi !

The latest librewolf (available on AUR) which is one minor version ahead of the *universe* one, introduces the ability to override custom values on top of the ones selected by the librewolf devs on:

~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg

That would be useful to some.  However it's not enough if the user modified:

/usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg

To use the firefox default values instead of the librewolf ones, by commenting out or removing the librewolf configurations.  As an example, it is safer and way simpler to just remove the configurations in librewolf.cfg to get "safe browsing" working, than writing the URLs and strings by hand (which can get wrong or out of date), trying to overwrite them in the librewolf.overrides.cfg.

That said, I hope the mechanism to backup, and not totally overwrite on upgrades:

/usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg
/usr/lib/librewolf/distribution/policies.json

still remains, even when that HOME overrides become available, which will happen once moving librewolf to 88.0.1, given current universe librewolf is still 88.0.

I guess, as on the AUR package, that is achieved through:

backup=('usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg'
         'usr/lib/librewolf/distribution/policies.json')

Again, please don't get rid of that, just because of the new librewolf.overrides.cfg, given that doesn't cover all user cases...

Thanks a lot !
