Summary0010625: For documentation: ship concrete examples of taler-merchant config, ready to use in TOPS/CHF context [Dec: 0.5h+]
DescriptionTo run a taler-merchant (with or without self-provisioning) with the TOPS/CHF exchange and only with that exchange, it's helpful to know that the taler-merchant already comes with most settings for it to just run.

However, some tweaks a/o workarounds are needed to achieve this goal.

Document all steps and example files needed here, then make canonical.
TagsNo tags attached.

Eh, the default configuration shipped by the merchant should already enable both kudos + TOPS exchanges. So if you apt-install taler-merchant, there should be NOTHING required. That's required by all reasonable packages, so the documentation should be exactly what it is now: nothing required, works out of the box. Everything else is bad packaging.

Set new deadline by dependence of 0010630.

Of what you say, Christian (didn't see this before, sorry): basically it works out of the box, but this should be said in the docu explicitly, as people might try to configure TOPS/CHF manually (as I tried first... xD), which is not needed as respective includes for that exist and errors stating it's already there emerge otherwise; other than that: some switches need to be activated for default currency KUDOS and default exchange for that currency to be deactivated, to make things specific (only CHF currenty / only TOPS exchange); also email / SMS tan config can need explanation and examples.

Docu will be altered before putting my.taler-ops.ch live: attaching this to ticket 0010630, such as to have this done by then.
