I think the only not system-lib is glib. But this lib is used also by env-update. So no big problem. Good, the rescue Problem I agree. But it is much faster. Really cool could it be to store all settings from /etc in binary files. But that is not your way and not very fsh-compatible - I know. But it could be a general idea. I don't like to have 100 files which don't follow the same style. This is not very user-friendly.=20 Some other idea is to use the sheme of ksyscoca (like KDE-2.2). It reads text files and builds a binary cache.

Dezember 2001 10:13 An: gentoo-dev@gentoo.org Betreff: Re: AW: [gentoo-dev] USE database? Hi, the idea of a binary registry is not the path to follow imho. All system critical settings and files should depend on as little libraries as possible and be editable directly. This is very important in case of system rescue. Putting these settings inside a database of some sort really removes much of the needed flexibility and creates a magical black box called 'system configuration' that no-one really knows and that pretty soon can only be done through dedicate tools ... very bad.
