Hola Hellekin, still: The idea is a "meta configuration file", parsed during the installation of a daemon, from which the conventional init scripts for each individual init system can be derived. Hence a daemon's package maintainer wouldn't have to provide 27 different configurations, one for each init system that comes with the distro - instead, the each init system maintainer (and, in the best case, some day in the future "upstream") would provide this parser/converter script. Also, i wasn't aware that XML is such a powerful trigger word, you probably noticed the "e.g." in front of it. I only worked with it in an Adobe CS context where it is really great, once you have unravelled the horrible tag overlapping produced by Indesign. If I ever mention XML again on this list, you'll know that I'm trolling^^ libre Grüße, Florian _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
