No. It's a work in progress and the format may (and will) change. I update the scripts myself whenever the API changes. The current implementation is far more clean than ifiles, but still problematic. Since initng uses a lot of services to achieve asynchronous boot, current implementation needs a lot of forking and execs to parse the files (it's done by an external program). This should be done by a single instance of a program that parses everything and sends batches of information to initng to include in it's db. With batches I mean, the whole information related to a service instead of sending it property by property like now (which also requires executing a program each time). This also would simplify the service_file plugin. I would like to use something simple to parse, like tcl, but with a nicer syntax. If anyone wants to take this "BIG_TASK", we should meet on IRC and discuss the design, because I had no time to think enough about it...
