Now I don't think a XEM package is really required since we are talking more and more of getting rid of it during the 5.x timeframe. > > Here are the possible solutions I see : > > Try with default values and prompt an error if it did not work > + small, simple > - won't work for many cases > > Prompt at install time for decisions. > + It solves all issues > - Business rules are quiet complex > - May be hard to maintain > - Not sure it's a goor practice > > Document how to change and use an other DB > + Easy to maintain > + Do it yourself which is, I think the philosophy of Archlinux > + Easy to automate using configuration manager systems (puppet/chief) > - not fully automated > By the way, it may be possible to provide some other packages on top of > those which will install jdbc drivers, update config files and explain what > modification to do according to the db > > I would prefer third solution.
