Hi, I would like to request a sponsor for xbsql package. Package files can be downloaded from:
http://www.pronet.pl/~rlewczuk/xbsql00 After reading some docs I'm still uncertain about some things: -- linda indicates that Build-depends on debhelper is unnecessary, but removing that dependency results in linda messages that debhelper version and debhelper compatibility level don't match (compat=4); how can I resolve this ? -- upstream version creates shared object files with version number '0.0.0'; shall I fix this ? -- linda crashes on libxbsql-dev package: it tries to open libxbsql.so symlink and then produces something like this: Check FilesCheck failed. Exception OSError thrown ([Errno 2] Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu: '/tmp/linda-lab-57114/unpacked/usr/lib/libxbsql.so'). -- xql functionality seems to be a little crippled: bulk inserting does not work correctly, probably due to bug in xql; however, it is still pretty functional; does it eliminate package from being accepted, ie. shall I dig into sources and fix this immediately ? (policy says that some bugs shall be corrected by maintainer and sent to upstream but does not seem to be precise in this matter) ? -- a build-time bug has been worked around in debian/rules (clean target needs to be invoked from main directory and from one of its subdirectories); shall I fix this by patching appropriate Makefile.am ? (it makes package quite more complicated) ? -- config.guess and config.sub are copied from debian defaults; it generates quite some bloat to .diff but seems to be accepted; am I right ? Regards, rle ITP for this package is registered as Bug#251771. * Package name : xbsql Version : 0.11 Upstream Author : Mike Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/xbsql.html * License : LGPL Description : SQL wrapper for XBase DBMS library XBSQL is a wrapper library which provides an SQL-subset interface to Xbase DBMS. XBSQL by no way provides anything like a complete SQL implementation, and in any case is hampered by various limitations of XBase (such as no i notion of a null value). However, it implements a fairly useful subset, including select, insert, update and delete; select for instance supports joins, ordering, grouping and the having clause. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-ca9100 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL)
