+1 I know very well that we have already had a registry in GNOME, and I am among the harseholes who have *never* digested the gconf registry nonsense-organisation and never managed to port gconfs across different versions of GNOME (although I have very poor statistics on that, let's say less than 20 cases...). IMHO centralising is never a good option, and modularisation should be the norm. Binary conf has brought only *problems*, while text files have survived for decades (and please, don't bring again the "performance" argument, since nobody can discern the difference between loading a text file or a binary one....). What really puzzles me is why if you love systemd that much you just continue arguing about systemd on the ML of a Debian fork specifically born to throw systemd away. Do you think you might be able to convince us that systemd is *good* and *beautiful* and *necessary*? I don't want to be saved, thanks ;) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
