Yes, that's what I currently have packaged...

I see... you may consider for a future version to write a ~/.aeolusrc
alternative file (ie: if $AEOLUS_DIR/aeolusrc is not writable just write
to ~/.aeolusrc), and read from it if available. I'm installing the
presets in a shared lib directory so that there is only one copy for all
users and obviously that directory is not world writable :-)

Yes, indeed, and thanks a lot for the explanations!

I surely will!
