I understand your recommendation but I don't think I'm going to do that, and I think I "shouldn't" do that.

my job as sysadmin is installing, managing, mantaining and monitoring, and dsconf wrapping is just what I need.
If I have, for example, a command that tells me if a drive is out of space I don't expect to change that command over the years on different linux systems with different versions.

I understand that 389 is under heavy refactoring these last years, I'm just a little bit tired of version conditionals in my recipes (and by the way, I can't find an easy method to check the version with dsconf/dsctl, worth a feature request?).


so taking my own example I just expect that `dsconf instance plugin retro-changelog enable' is still valid a year/version later.


again, please take my point of view as a frustrated admin with too many tasks to do and too little beers to take on my free time (everything is closed right now in Mallorca :P)


cheers,
