 Hi Romain and DDevelopers,

 I was wondering if there is any sense/intent to reincarnate
 emacs-snapshot in experimental or unstable.

 On the way to emacs23 there are quite a few of nice features had
 been introduced already -- such as multi-TTY support. I am eager to give
 a try but I am somewhat lazy/busy to do it non-Debian way. It would
 be really nice if emacs-snapshot comes back to existence.


 There is also support for Xft in emacs CVS, which is a must-have
for a lot of people (me included).

Cheers,

 Wow, I've not seen a moronic argument like this in a while.

This thread is about units of data.



The prefix don't change according to the unit type.

  - in case of an upgrade RDBMSs often dump there databases and import

What is the problem with having an internal embedded version of sqlite
and only upgrade when needed and make the upgrade path more safe than
with regular packages?



It is even possible to download SQLite as a single C source file
for easy embedding. I mean, SQLite was born for this kind of thing.
