So the answer is most likely no. Good. I didn't want to do the work anyway. ;) > However, whether to ship akonadi trunk/beta/final of the next version is > another question which is still open.

I don't think stable users want an Akonadi that only supports one backend. If nothing else, it makes bugs harder to work around, and I find staying with stable generally requires working around a non-RC bug or two during its lifetime. Virtuoso, PostgreSQL, or SQLite -- any one of those as an option would satisfy me, and I can't really speak for others. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
