**Basic idea of implementation** We see that e.g. `drivers/#` has `array/tag = type`, so we look for existing keys matching `drivers/#/type`. For every matching key we find, we remove the...

To understand what tags do, ignore all the examples, ignore `array/tag` and even ignore the word "tag" (it's just name I used). Now, the problem with the combination of `default`...

My previous answer leaves one question open: > 3\. How do the tags make metadata outside of spec:/ unnecessary? AFAIK there is only one reason why actually _need to_ store...

I not 100% sure and I didn't check, but I believe, if `foo/#1` has a value we already generate a default key for e.g. `foo/#1/bar`. If we don't it would...

> I mean that `foo/#1/bar` without `foo/#1` should be an error (invalid array). What would the value of `foo/#1` be? Empty string? NULL? If the parent is required like this,...

Looks like the codegen-based examples cannot be built. The [build logs](https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5771574593716224?logs=tests#L882) also show ``` /bin/sh: gcc: not found ``` So I guess that's the issue. No idea why it would've...

> detected by cmake This was in one of the `pkgconfig` examples that should run without CMake. But maybe replacing `gcc` with just `cc` works.

I think this is related #2523. The test in question is one of the ones in `tests/shell/external`. Those tests only work with an installed version of Elektra.

I don't think this really _can_ be related to `xfconf`. If you look at the logs of the "main" step for the failing "FreeBSD 13" job on Cirrus you can...
