Re: Removing dbconfig support ?
hi there, (for future reference dbconfig-common-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org is probably the proper place for this type of discussion).

Any idea / help will be appreciated. one alternative i would suggest exploring is keeping dbconfig-common for the database/database-user creation (and maybe initial SQL bootstrap), and leave the upgrade task to the application if the app provides better support for that. for example, this is what is done in the cacti package, which also has some fairly complicated/robust upgrade tasks between versions. sean signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Removing dbconfig support ?
Hi, I'm maintaining a PHP-MySQL application (GLPI) which is currently using dbconfig to create and upgrade the database. However, this cause problems during upgrades since upstream does only provide PHP scripts for upgrades, which are quite complicated. I have been trying to maintain a conversion to SQL commands for upgrade, but this is getting impossible for recent versions since some commands involve changes on existing data and are cannot be done with SQL (this had been confirmed by upstream, and does not seems to be possible to change easily according to him). Since the package is using dbconfig since a few versions, I'm now facing an upgrade problem before I can upload 0.78.1. For the moment, I'm thinking about removing dbconfig-common support and let all the configuration happen in the PHP scripts but I can't tell the consequences on previous installations. What is the best (not problematic) solution ? Any idea / help will be appreciated. Thanks, Pierre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
