I'm not sure if the majority of players need this option. We already support the sqlite database which is totally sufficient for almost everyone. In contrast to the minetest game where postgresql is one of the recommended databases, because it really boosts performance, the freeciv server works perfectly fine with sqlite and even this option was only enabled in the last release cycle. Before that the freeciv-server didn't support a database because it is a feature which is rarely needed. My main concern is that --enable-fcdb=mysql will pull in another dependency which the majority of users simply don't need. Please note that the server is even installed on normal desktop installations. Thus I'm inclined to mark this bug as wontfix. Regards, Markus
