Huh, what a reason :) , I would say that the popularity of MySQL is one of the reasons why you should keep that in Tryton, this makes Tryton way much easier to install and leave you a package out of installing a whole bunch of dependencies. Just my point of view. Although I would say that if MySQL has "technical" problems of calculating the values the right way, then it should be visible to the user somewhere. Maybe pointing it out in the README with a big attention section. Rgds Saxa -- [email protected] mailing list
