Hi,
Avi and i discussed about removing KEY_TYPE_DIR. Avi proposed to
split key type (regular, dir, link) from key value type (string, binary).
Key contain a mode_t access attribute yet, the idea is to use it for
store key type : regular (S_IFREG), directory (S_IFDIR), link (S_IFLNK).
This way, the key->type attribute will contain only the value type
(STRING or BINARY). We were agree it was a great idea :-). That need lot
of modification into elektra but most will be, i think, transparent to
the user (i don't think that impose an API modification ?). This will
allow us to store value and comment into directory key.
Btw, that still a big change and we haven't released something for 3
month. So the time is perhaps to a feature freeze and finish to debug
things which were done. About that, thanks to report any problem you're
still encountered while building elektra.

Hi,
Yes, your vision is good :
Avi and i discussed about removing KEY_TYPE_DIR. Avi proposed to
split key type (regular, dir, link) from key value type (string, binary)
too : Key contain a mode_t access attribute yet, the idea is to use it

(S_IFLNK). This way, the key->type attribute will contain only the value
type (STRING or BINARY). We were agree it was a great idea :-). That
