I have downloaded the source at different periods of time. The first time it was horrid -- they had done a port to Novell recently and had stuffed it with weird macros that made it really unreadable. Oh, and the naming convention for source files was awful. The second time, the macros weren't there (but then, perhaps I looked at a different part of the source). But it was pretty much undocumented -- and the naming convention doesn't help. My guess is that it's written in such a way that you need some sort of roadmap or external file (missing from the GPL source) that makes it hard to understand it. Or perhaps they preprocess a different repository in order to create an obfuscated GPL source tree. (I have a memory of comments in the source that looked like it referred to some internal knowledge base or bug tracking system. But frankly it is a dim memory and could very well be related to the PHP source or MaxDB rather than MySQL.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/DXLWNGRJD34J Management by consensus: I have decided; you concede.
