Yes, as I completely forgot them. The sources are now at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapdb/bin/tmp/instsrv.tar, because I haven't integrated them into the configure step yet (which I'll hopefully do this week). The problem is: these programs (instdbmsrv, instlserver) have to to be suid root (because they suid root other programs), which doesn't really fit into the normal make process. It should be part of the install step, but that step doesn't exist yet for the build tools. One solution: if you build SAP DB for distribution rather than for using it on the local machine, then $ export NOREG=1 That way, these programs aren't called during the build and the directory /usr/spool/sql isn't required either. You'll have to set <dep path>/pgm/dbmsrv and <dep path>/pgm/lserver to suid root during package installation.
