I guess that would create confusion if dbconfig-common doesn't also provide functionality to use the prefix. > it would still be the packagers' responsibility to ensure that the table > prefixes are correctly used when creating the tables, which means that > the simple sql-file install method is out and they would have to use > the script method for installing the db, but it's an improvement, > anyway. This would be a good start. It would at least make it possible for those packages that really want it, even if it's not very easy. > btw: how is phpbb currently handling this? On further invesitgation, it doesn't. I thought it did, but I appearently confused it being on the todo-list with actually doing it. So that's good news in the sense that converting to dbconfig-common will not be a regression for us. I hope to fix this sometime soon but it keeps being pushed back due to other packaging considerations. bye, Thijs
