Which db should I build this package against?

[Ankur Sinha]

Hello,

I'm working on packaging conquest[1] for fedora which can be built
against dbase,mysql, postgresql *and* mysql. Which one should I build it
against? Should I build it against all of them and make different
subpackages??

I've uploaded the build scripts here if someone wants a peek

Hello Ankur!

Try to build against both. You can take a look at the Zabbix package for 
inspiration, for instance.

Hi Volker,

I'll go try that. 

I noticed I had mentioned mysql twice. I meant dbase, postgresql, mysql
and sqlite.

If the sub-packages work, great. If not I would consider the target
audience. Is it expected that they have a mysql or other database
server available? If not, sqlite might be the best option.

No idea about dbase, but you should support Sqlite, PostgreSQL and MySQL if it 
makes sense. If the developers said, foo doesn't work well with Sqlite, you 
should probably not build though.

Did you talk to upstream and figure out if all these options are equally
well supported?  That would determine if you want to build sub packages
for all or not

See also bacula.  It rebuilds 3 times for sqlite, mysql and postgresql
support.

Perhaps upstream could deliver N shared libraries, then at run time use
dlopen() to load the one which corresponds to the database package
that is being used.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll try the sub package method first
and see where it gets me. :)
