Seriously???? That cracks me up...
Its thinking like that that is holding mandrake back... No point having all the LSB compliance in the world if your files are all named incorrectly.. The guy that wrote it, did so as a DBD driver for MySQL.. thats its purpose, thats why it was written.. but they contradict themselves anyway.. by that the pg driver should just have been called: perl-pg.xx.xx but they got that one right and put DBD in there.. No admins will take mandrake seriously while they have dumbass problems like this.. I guess thats called "packages arogance"???? to think you know better then those that wrote the software that they are packaging??? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Sparenberg Sent: Friday, 3 January 2003 2:41 AM To: Expert List Subject: RE: [expert] DBI/DBD::mysql on Mandrake 9.0 On Thu, 2003-01-02 at 01:05, Franki wrote: > cancel that question...
