For example, here is a fragment from the Bacula docs using their hierarchical format: FileSet { Name = Test Include { File = /home/xxx/test Options { regex = ".*\.c$" } } } Or here is a piece from the buildfarm client config (which is in fact perl, but could also be JSON or similar fairly easily): mail_events => { all => [], fail => [], change => ['f...@bar.com', 'b...@blurfl.org' ], green => [], }, build_env => { CCACHE_DIR => "/home/andrew/pgfarmbuild/ccache/$branch", },Both of which I've also used in the past, and also find uncomfortable and awkward for configuration files.
I can't imagine trying to configure Bacula using ini file format - the mind just boggles. Frankly, I'd rather stick with our current config format than change to something as inadequate as ini file format.
