Some time ago, Dominique in one of his blog posts described an idea of models accepting unknown parameters. Instead of declaring each element separately, we could use such construct:
'Sshd::MatchElement' => {
accept => {
match_not => '/Match/i' ,
type => 'leaf',
value_type => 'string'
}
}

Config::Tiny module (used for reading INI files) makes assumption that a variable name cannot be repeated in one section. This statement is true only for about 99% of INI files. Look at the following fragment of valid Kismet config file:

Hi everybody!
I’m happy to announce that I have been chosen as a student working on GSoC „Improve Config file Upgrades” project for Debian (mentored by Dominique Dumont). Since it’s my first blog post, it’s time to introduce myself:
My name is Krzysztof Tyszecki and I’m third year CS student at Wroclaw University of Technology (faculty of Fundamental Problems of Technology). I’m using GNU/Linux since about 5 years (Gentoo Linux for about ~4 years, now Debian and Arch).
If after a few months you will simply forget about manually editing configuration files after upgrades, that will mean that this project had succeeded. Dominique nicely described some technical details in post at his blog.
