Hi Brian.

Thanks for the feedback - here are my comments:

The was referenced in the release notes:

Additionally, this release closes #180 by de-INEX-ifying the peering
manager. Please see updated documentation at:
https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/wiki/Peering-Manager

Note that you are quite possibly the first (after INEX) to start using 
this functionality so those notes were really aimed at you ;-)

If you refer to the install notes, it is assumed that you do not use the 
stock / provided file:

http://git.io/5GoO2A

I.e. instructions say move it to /usr/local/etc/ixpmanager.conf (or 
whatever works for you - these aren't hard and fast rules).

But, even if you did use the stock file, it should have caused a Git 
conflict versus an overwrite?

In any case, naming it like this was probably a bad idea and I've just 
pushed a commit to move it to ixpmanager.conf.dist: http://git.io/fh_uqg

Note that the docs referenced above are updated to reflect this.

We can't account for every OS and use case. It you refer to this 
particular section of the docs - http://git.io/Mnf1jA - you'll see we say:

[quote]
The script control-sflow-detect-ixp-bgp-sessions should be copied to the 
operating system startup directory so that sflow-detect-ixp-bgp-sessions 
is started as a normal daemon.
[/quote]

I just added '(and edit if necessary)' to this. These files should just 
be copied (and edited) as advised.
