Bug#599422: akonadi-server: akonadi depends on mysql, but can also support postgresql instead
Package: akonadi-server
Version: 1.3.1-3+b1
Severity: important
As currently packaged akonadi-server requires mysql, but the code requires either mysql
or postgresql (up to 8.4 in the current version). The dependencies should be changed
to allow either DB and the install script should check which is installed and configure
for the installed one (if only one) and ask which if both installed.
This is important because there is currently no mechanism within akonadi to migrate
later. You can change the config files and start afresh, but you can not move data
from one DB type to another (the backup/restore are implemented using DB specific
code).
