Like the rest of it, in-repository profiles will be kept in a database, which is currently SQLite. Profiles will have external representations, however. Most likely, this will be some sort of collection of manifest files, which are XML. > No text files for easy editing with > vi-like editors? Outside of the repository, profiles will almost certainly be human-editable. Inside the repository, they won't be, just like the rest of the repository. > Problem restoring after corruption of SQLite data files? Backups of the repository are made automatically. It's true that customization data is kept solely in the repository, but this project would allow administrators to keep that data outside of it, so if anything, this project will increase reliability.
