Where is the main database? & other questions about stale material

Hi Jesse,

-rw-rw-r-- 1 enrico debtags 884510 2009-10-11 18:03 tags-current.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 enrico debtags  15840 2009-10-11 18:03 vocabulary.gz

So they are current, just not "live", but probably exported via a cron
job or a time within the application (e.g. every 6 hours)

The Config.py module just declares a single variable that is host
specific - SOCKFILE, the location of the socket to talk to debtagsd.
It doesn't make sense to check that in into SVN, I'd assume there is
documentation somewhere that tells you how to create the file.

best regards,
Erich Schubert
