machinekit integration

[markus2330]

• type plugin with types as needed for machinekit (testing+tutorial)
• mainloop integration
• rename/ini should work together with dbus/logchange
• globbing copy for override Use case: default and per config parameters #378 (fixed by profile plugin)
• rename does not work in write direction dbus and rename plugin do not work together #404 rename: newly created key not renamed #485
• ini array does not work in write direction ini: allow repeated entries #355
• multiple INI entries to array ini: allow repeated entries #355
• spec plugin to copy metadata from spec
• rename: support uppercase Rename plugins needs an option for case conversion #387 fixed by RENAME: some enhancements #390
• kdb editor, see Notifications from storage backends #386

@Strahlex: please add if something is missing in this list and how to prioritize? Is something maybe not needed anymore?

[markus2330]

@Strahlex Does it matter to machinekit in anyway if POSIX functionality is used (e.g. fnmatch, regex,..)

[markus2330]

@mhaberler Would be good if you can have a look, too.

priority 1: INI array
priority 2: spec
priority 3: globbing
type plugin: existing types can easily be reused, not sure if a additional plugin is necessary
kdb edit: I would call it "kdb sync"

[machinekoder]

I see no reason why POSIX functionality shouldn't be used.

[markus2330]

Should be resolved for this release, types to be discussed later.

[machinekoder]

Thanks, will take a look at it.

[markus2330]

Seems like 3 issues are still open and we closed 2 issues (new profile plugin and improved rename plugin)

[markus2330]

We basically finished the tasks. Please reopen when you start integration.
