Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on extending the dbconfig-common packages to support the SQLite database format. My primary motivation for this is so that I can start using dbconfig-common to manage the database(s) for the PHPwiki packages which currently only support SQLite out of the box.

The main changes that were required were to separate out the debconf questions that are only relevant for remote and authenticated database types. These changes were committed yesterday. I plan to make the remaining changes required to bring the SQLite support up to scratch over the next few days, so hopefully dbconfig-common 1.8.18 with SQLite support will be uploaded before too long.

In other news, Alexander Wirt finished off my NM Report, so now I’m waiting for the front desk to review it and send me on to the DAM. It’s great to be making progress and a big thank you to Alexander for taking me through the process, testing my knowledge and sponsoring my packages.
