Pros of libini
- already working and stable parser for INI files
- already integrated with SSSD and GSS proxy
- has advanced convenience features
- can be turn around and delivered very fast because of control
Cons of libini
- zero community
- INI files only
- main developer does not have time to work on it
Can it modify the ini files? Does it have bindings from scripting
languages?
Pros of augeas
- has parser
- has community
- contributing to it will have general benefit
It can modify the ini files.
Cons of augeas
- not integrated into SSSD and GSS proxy
- does not have advanced features (to be verified)
- less control and thus slower turn around
It's probably bigger code than smaller-purpose library.
