Volker Stolz <stolz@i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> was heard to say: > Glad to have you in here! I doubt that versioning is the problem, though: > If I understood correctly, the problem ist that dbi-drivers can be configured > in a way that either Postgres or MySQL-support is missing, thus requiring > manual intervention (rebuild). > True indeed. The idea of libdbi is to give the end-user of an application a choice which database engine she wants to use. Therefore libdbi may be installed, but not necessarily with the driver that the user selects when installing the RefDB port. > I think the dbi-drivers need to be split in separate FreeBSD-ports.

You just need libdbi, libdbdfoo.so (the drivers were renamed since 0.8.1), and foo-client.so to support the database engine foo. Actually Debian does it the way you suggest. All drivers are packaged separately. regards Markus -- Markus Hoenicka markus.hoenicka@cats.de (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
