DOWNGRADE.CONF(5) File Formats Manual DOWNGRADE.CONF(5)

downgrade.conf — configuration file for downgrade

/etc/xdg/downgrade/downgrade.conf

Command-line options to use for all invocations of downgrade may be persisted in the file /etc/xdg/downgrade/downgrade.conf.

These options are applied first, before options passed on the actual command-line.

Options (and their argument(s)) should be placed one per line. Empty lines, or those prefixed by # are ignored.

--maxdepth 2

To use an alternative source, e.g. for 32-bit packages:
# /etc/xdg/downgrade/downgrade.conf
