Hi,

yes, see

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/7

It seems to me that the VAR file should defined for newly created
mapset by default to avoid possible problems.

2008/3/12, Patton, Eric <epatton@nrcan.gc.ca>:

I created a new location using today's svn source, and noticed that db.connect doesn't have its database parameter pre-populated with $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf as it used to; it is now blank. Possible bug? Would it possible to get the module to at least populate $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET for this parameter?

~ Eric.

I'm with Marcus and Martin on this. The potential for problems is high if this is not done; the cost to do it is very small. Can we just go ahead and make this change to g.proj?
