Description : simple library for manipulating structured configuration
files
libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration
files. The file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And
unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string
parsing in application code.
The library includes bindings for both the C and C++ languages. It works
on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD)
and Windows (2000, XP and later).
Currently there's already a libconfig in Debian, that seems unmaintained
and not used.
Indeed. No packages use it anymore, AFAIK
I don't know yet what I'm going to do ; maybe ask the maintainers if he
thinks we can remove it.
I asked the maintainer about this around a year ago, and he seemed
unwilling to even rename his (I proposed 'libconfig' -> 'libabz-config'
), even though only his packages use it.
This "libconfig" is indeed much superior.
I have some (privately-maintained) packages for a year or so already;
Don't hesitate contacting me if you would like to have them to ease your
work or if you would like some help.
Thanks,
J.L.
