Firstly, minisql (mSQL) is a non-starter because of its license. Secondly, you haven't provided any justification for the inclusion of an RDBMS in the base system. In general, the base system only contains tools necessary to build and manage the base system. In order to add this to the base system, you need to justify both why an RDBMS is needed and why it can't be a port. Thirdly, this topic has been thrashed out recently and I suggest you review that thread before continuing. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --Pk6IbRAofICFmK5e Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHdF61/opHv/APuIcRAuIPAKCUNpZ0iDJpAzb1t6dyrfF+YfrO2QCgvpf4 R5NwBC4IT+QafB4Y5m6nfqE= =rGAj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Pk6IbRAofICFmK5e--
