We're currently bundling our own fork of iniparser: libatatalk/iniparser/* and include/atalk/iniparser.h

I would prefer to stop maintaining the fork, and link with a shared iniparser library provided by the system. At a glance, all major platforms package and distribute iniparser.

For context, has recently gotten a new maintainer and is seeing heavy development at its new home on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/iniparser/iniparser ... a major v5 release is in the works.

Our iniparser fork has a handful of local modifications, so some engineering work will be required to change the interfaces.

One potential challenge here is that OpenBSD and NetBSD are distributing v3.1, while most of the Linux ecosystem plus FreeBSD are on v4.2.

The availability on Solaris 11 and Solaris-likes is unclear right now. (My Solaris and OmniOS VMs are broken...)

The repology.org summary for iniparser looks like this: https://repology.org/project/iniparser/versions
