I don't think any sort of community edition should bother itself with that. What you can and should care is compile-time installation prefix. And most of the code should cleanly support prefix that's different from /opt/couchbase. Those bits that do not support non-/opt/couchbase prefix should be fixed and if you see anything that hardcodes /opt/couchbase please file a bug. > 3) What role playes python in Couchbase?

My understanding is that our backup tools depend on python quite heavily. Whether they really need 2.6 or if they can eat 2.7 I cannot say. Some of python code is dealing with offline upgrade (as far back as 1.8 where we had different data storage engine). But I'm not sure if that part is open or not. If it is open it doesn't look like you should bother yourself with packaging those bits. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase" group.
