[okfn-help] KForge and SQLite

[John Bywater]

Marvelously enough, I got KForge working with SQLite!

It's still not quite right because, at least by default with SQLobject, 
SQLite doesn't increment its index when an object is created and 
immediately purged (the next object unfortunately gets the same id). 
This causes problems with the service directories being created after 
the id, which was hoped to be unique. But that's easy to remedy: The 
service files can be moved to a trash folder when the service is purged. 
That way, we don't risk deleting critical data, and can maintain a 
fresher project data folder.

So I was thinking, should this be the default? It's relatively demanding 
to require a PostgreSQL or MySQL user and database. The difference is 
probably performance, which would only matter for a larger service. Most 
KForge services will be small.

As Trac can run happily off SQLite, why not KForge? I'm thinking of 
making kforgevirtualenv.py do this by default. Any thoughts?
