I figured you had access to a search engine :) basically Augeas is a language for describing configuration files so that they can be parsed into trees and manipulated uniformly. e.g., you could run s

How would it be difficult to edit file through ssh? If you can edit the current config file you can edit any text (XML) file. Nah, I don't like to edit XML files by hand. It is prone to errors. Just

I'm not sure if this is in response to an earlier feature request from me, or something else. I would like to see an enhancement here. As it is, this does not map very well to rotating multiple hard

By the way I am curious what percentage of users using Bacula are aware of your experience. It is mentioned in the docs but I am sure a lot of people miss that info. We also run a find script - this
I'm strongly against XML config files. I'm also strongly against moving Bacula configuration details/data out of simple text files, and further complicating configuration storage or generation of a c
I use/edit XML just about everyday and I do not find it difficult. Converting current config to XML should be pretty easy. Nowadays lots of web applications (e.g. SOA) exclusively use XML, so, if som
I agree. However, using an optional 'third-party' tool is quite acceptable to all. I refer here to Fruity and Nagios. The use of Fruity is optional. It produces plain text configuration files to be u

I don't find it difficult either, but that doesn't mean I like the idea at all; in fact I detest XML with a passion. And the admin that comes after me might not understand XML even a little bit. Ther

Maybe a compromise would be to modify the 'include' statement so that could include an normal bacula config file (as it is now), an xml file, or from a database. If you were doing any of the latter
Kern has made his position on clear text configuration files in the past. He is strongly in favour of them. I answer on this behalf because he is not on this list. -- Dan Langille http://langille.org
I think you meant GUI, not GUY. Easy typo. But AFAIK, Bacula Inc is there to provide services, not code. It's been stately quite clearly that there will not be two code bases. -- Dan Langille http://

Hi! I just don't get it: what is the problem that the web/desktop/whatever front-end modify a plain text file? I mean, the current config file format is so easy, that I have been able to make some "w
