Hi Wez,
This is *extremely* useful information, thank you. I did not anticipate
that a single package could or would supply more than one extension
possibility
If a package depends on pdo_dblib, does it matter which actual extension
is enabled, or is the only difference system-dependent? In other words,
from the perspective of a package that uses PDO, if you depend on the
pdo_dblib package, is there a difference in depending on the mssql
versus the dblib or sybase extension?
If not, I will simply amend the xsd for package2.xml to allow multiple
extensions to be provided, and update dependency checking to cycle
through all extensions listed when checking for installation.
