The last sticking point for something like that is the monolithic services.rdb build; I hate small scattered files - but, IMHO there is a good argument for a very small, simple text file per module (or group of modules) that expresses the service info in a simple and more efficient fashion; and that (if necessary) can be catted together. Personally I find this sort of thing rather amusing (in a black sort of a way):$ regview services.rdb > services.txt # ... $ ls -lh services.* -r--r--r-- 1 michael users 2.4M 2008-08-28 10:30 services.rdb -r--r--r-- 1 michael users 540K 2008-08-28 10:30 services.rdb.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 michael users 638K 2008-08-28 10:31 services.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 michael users 46K 2008-08-28 10:31 services.txt.gz And of course - this is after the not-merged-up-stream size optimisations we do in store/ - the up-stream wastage is far worse here. It would be far nicer & smaller to have components register themselves via a simple flat text file IMHO.
Yes, any---compatible---simplifications in this area are very welcome, IMO. -Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
