--- Comment #13 from erdgeist@erdgeist.org ---
(In reply to Ngie Cooper from comment #12)

Actually, I can not really see a benefit at all in removing that converter =
in
base. It is not like the OS hands users of jail.conf like files a tool to
properly create or modify them. Jamie's rewrite of jail(8) just broke editi=
ng
jail configs for shell scripts. No big deal, as long as the OS keeps a
compatibility until there ARE tools.

However, once you start taking these converters away from the base, it need=
s to
be reimplemented in several ports, possibly leading to errors with each
implementation.

If there would be a simple jail-admin tool allowing me operate on those com=
plex
structures from a script, or if there would be something like a jail.d with
management scopes, where I'd be sure that configs are not manually touched,=
 I
would happily give up config in shell variables.

I also volunteered in getting stuff done, by adding code to jail(8) to exte=
nd
the parser with config file management functionality, but Jamie used to be =
not
as reponsive as I would've loved. If there's others wanting to review and
possibly commit changes to the tool, I'd say that we go for it.
