Hello, For the client (and at mid-term for the server) we will need a better format for the configuration file.
I've asked on caml-list@ what are possible options[1] and the most interesting possibilities are: - Config_file from Cameleon2. Library written for reading/writing configuration file. Should be already packaged in Debian sid; - ocaml-csv. Library to read comma separated value files; - Lua-ML. A extension language with a C-like syntax that can be interpreted. (there is also inifiles[2] but it depends on PCRE, yet another library) Config_file seems more suited to the task but Lua-ML offers the capability to do more (e.g. let the user write small programs for the client). On the other side, there are other extension languages possibilities (Caml itself, Neko) so it might be to early to make a decision regarding extension language. So I'm inclined to use Config_file, but I would prefer to have other developers/packagers advice on such a choice. Your opinion? Thanks, d.
