Question

Is there advice on best practices for customizing Fedora 4 configuration files?

* fcrepo-config.xml (this is the central config for dependency-injected Fedora Spring beans)
* repository.json (this is the central config for Modeshape, and you should control that)
* activemq.xml (common update: turn the topic into a queue)
* root-authentication.ttl (if you are using webac)
* logback.xml (common update: direct logging to /var/log/fcrepo/fcrepo.log rather than catalina.out)
