Bernd Eckenfels is currently working on a debian package and i offered to help and test since i have some experience in setting it up on debian. i wrote a little howto (www.mybytes.de/sapdb) that includes adminitration and startup scripts.
personally, i don't think sapdb is hard to administer once you know the basic commands. i also got 7.3.0.20 installed and working without any trouble on potato. the main problem with an official deb package seems to be the unusual build environment. there are plans to change that though. btw. how 'free' is it at the moment? but even an unofficial binary debian package would be a great for a start, again i'd be willing to help. bye fabian On Thu, 2002-02-07 at 22:47, Derek Neighbors wrote: > Furthermore, has anyone from SAP or elsewhere considered getting SAP DB > deb > packages made and put in unstable?
