Feature Request: wildcard for include files

[vanrein]

Most Linux daemons have adopted an include-file approach like /etc/conserver.d/*.cf which can load files installed by various packages that are independently installed. In a containerised use case, the equivalent could be container descriptions that are independently configured with a TTY.

Apologies for the small burst of Feature Requests. They are of course related, but may be easier to you to consider separately. I looked into offering pull requests but got stuck in autotools, for which I found no explanation or bootstrapping script.

Yeah, increasing the #include directive to support wildcards would certainly be a nice addition. That would allow for a master config file to just have #include /etc/conserver.d/*.cf and pull in anything generated.

As for the autotools bits, yeah, it's basically undocumented. The .cirrus.yml file gives hints (as it needs a working environment to build things) and it basically just makes sure the autoconf and automake packages are installed (for freebsd, the linux image has them already) and then runs ./package/setup-configure.
