thats just cryptic nonsense. i dont want such a config system on
my box.
I get the feeling that many people are turned off to Elektra just
because they have had a bad experience with a particular implementation
of a registry in an operating system that shall remain nameless.
Before you just blindly reject what is a good thing, log into gnome,
and launch an application called gconf-editor.
There you have it - a registry in use in Linux that has been in use in
Linux for quite some time quite succesfully. gconf isn't quite as
robust as elektra because it uses a daemon which does present a single
point of failure, but it is a registry.
gconf is not much better than the m$ registry imho.
to improve the management of linux i would like to see a standard for
config files (FHS-like). a guide for programmers.
