Oh, come on. Parsing those textfiles takes just a few milliseconds. They are very small too so no need to switch to a binary format. About how to sort .i files I guess that could be done in many ways but maybe we could start with taking a vote on if we should split up system in two directories?
And on a related note, I asked a while back if there will be stable versions but it was turned down then. But sooner or later there should be stable versions, otherwise Initng will always just be seen upon as a "hacking playground". Odd numbers could be devel versions and equal could be stable. IE if we start changing the API that should be done in a 0.7.x devel series, which will eventually end up in a 0.8.x stable series. And new development will go into 0.9.x and so forth. greets Denis Knauf wrote: > the conf-files we can base on gdbm or like that. faster to use. > second: our i-files are text-based, it's very slow to parse it. we should use > gdbm or a special binary-format with very fast parsing issues. > > i can't code it. i only have many ideas for initng. > > Am Donnerstag, 8.
