Maybe it would be useful to have a dummy DATABASE milestone, since I imagine there are many applications that do depends on various databases (mail & webservers being the first to come to mind). Having a DATABASE milestone would allow for good decoupling between the individual apps and the various databases. Databases would "BEFORE: DATABASE", and apps depending on them could simply "REQUIRE: DATABASE" and not have to worry about whether it was compiled with a postgresql, mysql or someothersql database. Just a thought, and possibly not the most well-considered one at that, but I figured it might be worthwhile enough to share :) Cheers, /Johny -- Johny Mattsson - Making IT work ,-. ,-. ,-.
