Bug Description

You should provide per-user configuration files, in the style of ~/.pastebinitrc to allow us to put in one place the common information, (and stilll letting us override it through the command line), the most common use is to put there information such as:

-a: <AUTHOR>
-b: <PASTEBIN_URL>

Best regards,
Adrian Perez

<pastebinit>
<pastebin>http://paste.debian.net</pastebin>
<author>A pastebinit user</author>
<jabberid><email address hidden></jabberid>
<format>text</format>
</pastebinit>

Thanks for the tip. Where's the schema documented, if any?

The ticket as originally filed is invalid. But I'll accept this one as a request to document at least the existence of ~/.pastebinit.xml. Would be good to have a manpage for pastebinit.xml as well.
