Er, which database? Wouldn't that make the whole "read-only" thing a little more problematic (i.e. how do you switch out of read-only when you're checking a DB that's not writable)? I agree that text files across multiple servers can complicate things a little, but we have scripts that can very easily manage this kind of thing, so from a LOSA perspective it's not something I'm worried about. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
