While we're at it; another interesting database that really ought to be included with Debian is SAP-DB <http://www.sapdb.org>. Note that there's a pending ITP (#88988) from 9 Mar 2001 by Bernd Eckenfels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I had a look at it. To package it, at least the following is necessary: - A few days' time to get acquainted with the build system - A week or two to get it packaged (rough estimate) - Source code for all the _development_tools_ from SAP (start with that) - A couple of changes to make it FHS compliant - More time to package the various extensions, language preprocessors etc. and with that, you get a wonderful, full-featured DBMS! Maybe some task force would be required to do the work, though. (Sorry, I haven't got the time.) SAP-DB is being actively developed by ~100 people in Berlin.
