 !!! tip "Use a EESSI-specific CernVM-FS configuration file to configure the variant symlinks"
-    Instead of using `/etc/cvmfs/default.local` you can also put the symlink configuration in a local configuration file that is specific to the `software.eessi.io` repository
-    or to the `eessi.io` domain.

     For the first you can use `/etc/cvmfs/config.d/software.eessi.io.local`, while for the latter you can use `/etc/cvmfs/domain.d/eessi.io.local`.
