Danny Robert commented on MNT-1281:
-----------------------------------
We're no longer using PEAR::Config, and have instead developed our own internal Tree system. The reason for this is that there isn't a really simple way to allow '#' as the comment character. Additionally, we added a new comment construct '#@' which signifies a disabled parameter. This allows a graphical config page to indicate to the user some parameters they have to choose from that would otherwise be hidden. (For example, only two LDAP directives are _needed_, url and basedn, but there are many others that will need to be enabled based on the user's setup.) Lastly, our current parsing tree allows for internal validation.

> A new configuration and installation system needs to be made for Maintain so that all of the options can be managed in the database. Currently the options are managed in a flat file that can be a bit of a pain to setup and configure. A web interface with a DB backend is much more consistent with the rest of the interface, and will be easier and quicker to query and modify.
