Thanks for doing this work on extending GNATS and making it available. Unfortunately I have not been committing enough time to GNATS to take on rolling your work into the next version of GNATS. I hope that by stepping down as maintainer I will clear the way for a better new maintainer to take this on. > It is my hope that this work will be extended to support > additional SQL datastores such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. > I believe that this could now be accomplished without > expending a great deal of effort.

Supporting a free software database such as MySQL may be important in getting the changes accepted, since GNATS is a GNU project. -- Andrew Gray GNU GNATS Maintainer _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
