I think we need enhance our file format and manifest for D8's config directories. I suspect everything works if those dirs are stored in public files dir but if sites store them elsewhere, the archive will not have config and thus restore is impossible.
- Am I right - this is needed?
- Anyone want to take a cut at adding this to the "spec"?

The same thought had occurred
The same thought had occurred to me. Even if they are in the public directory it does make sense to treat them as special (by at least noting the location in the info file). I don't know nearly enough about the system to take a hack at the spec though.
+1
I have been messing around with Archive formats a bit lately and this should be as simple as having a new entry in the .ini file for the config data directory.
However, I haven't gotten back into D8 hacking in a bit, so don't know more than that. Basically, "yes, we should do this, but I don't know exactly how just yet."
Probably will be digging into this a bit more later this year.

Since config is now back in
Since config is now back in the DB by default, I think we can ignore this for now. Hurry for ignoring problems and hoping they go away :).
