Even if it could be simpler (is it?), I think unixODBC is a more common choice these days, so changing the KDE ports could be better. A few stats: - ports supporting both unixODBC and iODBC: 17 - ports supporting only unixODBC: 29 - ports supporting only iODBC: 8 I don't have personal experience, but the two ports should be completely interchangeable, so we could add support for USE_ODBC in bsd.databases.mk and allow the user to choose the odbc implementation (with one [unixODBC?] as default to create consistent packages). -- Alex Dupre
