[TYPO3-dev] current usage of DBAL

[Steffen Ritter]

Hello list,
I just need to implement a situation where I'm forced to use DBAL.
I'm working with 4.2.1RC1.
First of all, if dbal installed in delivered configuration TYPO3 won't 
work at all. But for this, a patch is present in bugtracker, which works 
fine.
BUT in working with dbal (f.e. just installing extensions when dbal 
extensions is loaded but not configured else then standard) there are 
many difficulties since the BE throws php errors.

So my opinion is: existing patches for dbal should go into 4.2.1 since a 
sysext is not working at all without.

So conclusion: Who's working on dbal?
How can I support or how can we work together?
And furthermore: How can it get into further releases? The 
BugTracker/CoreList procedure belongs to dbal to?
I would like to use a "snapshot" dbal in my development, since I have to 
make it work. And for that, that my work on dbal can be used for further 
releases of dbal I would like to start at the current dev. version. And 
we should not work with several persons on one thing.




greetings

Steffen
