Umm, as far as I understand the Debian packaging policy, this would be a severe violation of "no unneccesary package bloat" -policy. Dozens of lines of code for a simple ln -s. IMO it is the responsibility of the webapp package requiring database access to manage any symlinks, not of Tomcat, not of the database, nor a specialized Tomcat DB package. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer *
