Hi,
during the reviewing process of the new DB module for Berkeley, I made proposal to make a naming convention for all the modules implementing the DB API.
I suggest something similar as for the modules implementing the MI interface, all having the "mi_" prefix. So, for the DB modules we should use "db_" prefix: db_berkeley mysql -> db_mysql postgres -> db_postgres dbtext -> db_text unixodbc -> db_unixodbc flatstore -> db_flatstore
Does anybody see any drawback or problem if we rename the module before 1.3?
This change is resonable for me _if_ it will be thoroughly carried out. That means in addition to the renaming of the directories its also necessary to
- update the existing module documentation (README files, devel index.html) - fix the build process and the packaging - update openser install documentation (INSTALL, wiki pages) - add a note to the porting guide for 1.3
Cheers,
