Consider an 'or' dependency of PostgreSQL and MySQL. I put only the 2 very popular ones, sqledit supports many more. At the beginning I just put postgres and mysql driver in 'Suggest' but I think that in front of a very limited disk saving we could just create a probelm to not expert users that could miss the explanation of what is missing: both of them are less than 0.5 MB once installed. So I'd really prefer to leave those 2 drivers as dependencies. Rebuilding the package should I leave the debian version with -1 or should I increment it? thanks again sandro *:-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://sqlkit.argolinux.org SQLkit home page - PyGTK/python/sqlalchemy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
