------- Comment #22 from Stefan Kost (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev)  2008-04-01 12:15 UTC -------
< ensonic> __tim: what use case where you thinking of when suggesting to add
_is_enabled() _set_enabled() to the registry-no-checking patch
< __tim> ensonic: use case "call this before gst_init to disable registry
update checking"
< __tim> Having a magic environment variable for this doesn't seem quite right
to me 
< ensonic> __tim: imho the usecase is to have it disabled by default and just
run GST_CHECK_REGISTRY_CACHE=1 gst-inspect >/dev/null at startup and after
installs
< __tim> true, and some have setters and getters as well, e.g.
gst_registry_fork_set_enabled() and gst_segtrap_is_enabled()
< ensonic> __tim: instead of an env-var it could lso be an option
< __tim> but I don't really care enough to argue about this at length to be
honest ;)
< ensonic> __tim: I prefer and option over two extra API entries that would be
hardly called

so lets use an option, unless someone has a usecase for apps, the API can be
added later if needed.
