is it valid for an OpenSUSE package to create or alter mysql databases during its installation / removal?
I found no policy on that.
I would say no especially for the create part, unless you provide some dialog where the user can enter the data for a) host b) db name c) username d) password optional e) root pw if needed to create b/c/d. but you would enter a lot of fun to find away for all the different package manager frontends. for the upgrade part you might go for running the upgrade scripts from the app during %post, but i still prefer an README.upgrade there. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
