`--buildtype=release`: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

## Configuring MangoWC

### Config Files

`~/.config/mango/config.conf`. The default version is in `/etc/mango`. It can be used but is a fallback and not recommended. It can be copied to `~/.config/mango` manually.

### Configuration Information

Create the configuration file:

    mkdir -pv ~/.config/mango &&
    cp -v /etc/mango/config.conf ~/.config/mango

Edit the configuration file as necessary to fit your workflow. You can read how to configure MangoWC by reading the MangoWC Wiki.
