Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bernhard Schmidt <be...@debian.org>
* Package name : odbc-mariadb Version : 3.1.1 * URL : https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-odbc/ * License : LGPL-v2.1 Programming Lang: C Description : ODBC driver for MariaDB This package provides a driver that allows ODBC-enabled applications to access MariaDB databases, possibly MySQL databases as well. ODBC is an abstraction layer that allows applications written for that layer to access databases in a manner that is relatively independent of the particular database management system. I have been running a locally whipped up package of this for years. AFAICT there is no releasable MySQL/MariaDB ODBC connector in testing anymore since before stretch, when src:myodbc was dropped due to RC bugs. This needed updating anyway so I'm going to clean it up and propose for inclusion. I need this for our Asterisk-based PBX because nowadays the native database functions are going away and are being replaced with ODBC. I will gladly hand over the package to the MySQL/MariaDB maintainer group if they want to (CCed) Bernhard
