What does this have to to with trying to make compilation /maintenance more easy /wanting to think about it?. I am not against an oracle driver

At the moment there are more broken targets in de build.xml becauseit's all in one big file and nobody understands it any more (documentation is broken the war and wars target are broken) and there are to much "if and goto statements" the lib download sucks the documentation target gives errors the default configuration with hsqldb stores the database files in the wrong directory and so on.. but we are slowly trying make it it better don't we? We are in a freeze. the support class is new.We want to make a good distro. If in one month we find a bug in the driver we wil have to make a bugfix release? I think it's so much eazier to just download the "bugfixed" part. (idem if we find a bug in MMBase that doesn't affect the database driver) Further my repmakes where not again you in person but more in general I you think adding more stuff to the build.xml is the way to go. go for it fix the build and add you informix classes, help create the realse and bugfix realsese. > I'm not asking much, but I am asking it politely. 2 spearate things I think you can just post a call and end this discution greets
