Re: was database too old or corrupt error on debian ever solved

Hi,

Stéphane Téletchéa <[email protected]> was heard to say:

I believe I've figured out the problem why make attempted to rebuild the docs
although they were there. This should be fixed in the upcoming 0.9.7, and you
should be able to make do without this switch.

I could provide refdbdrc.mysql, refdbdrc.pgsql and so on as templates
preconfigured for the supported database engines. They would all receive the
other relevant modifications (var dir, log dir etc) and be installed as
refdbdrc.mysql.example and so on. Users could copy and edit these files
appropriately. Package builders could just set a symlink to the appropriate
file, depending on which database engine the user selected when configuring the
package. Is that what you meant? I think this is a good solution.

Thanks for the reminder. I try to fix these truncated lines (there must be a few
in the manual) before 0.9.7 is officially released.
