Configure the database backend in the config.ini
The database backend is currently configured in the 'db/backend_name'
file which is just another file that needs to be configured when setting
up or migrating a tracker instance. By moving this setting into the
config.ini it helps to reduce the number of files that need to be
configured and is more logical place for users to find the setting.

========================= Roundup Tracker Templates ========================= The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically ``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and on Windows this is ``c:\python22\share\roundup\templates\``. The template loading looks in four places to find the templates: 1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``. This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is installed. 2. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../templates/*``. This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source) directory. 3. ``<current working dir>/*``. This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template. 4. ``<current working dir>``. This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir. Templates contain: - modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py`` - directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions`` (with appropriate contents) - template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains the name of the template, a description of the template and its intended audience. An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt:: Name: classic Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs, feature requests, project issues or any number of other types of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template suits them, with perhaps a few customisations. Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
