Hello,
*I'd like to remove 'mysql-connector-odbc' package from Fedora.I'm looking for feedback for such an action.* For a long time 'mysql-connector-odbc' was the only connector of its kind in Fedora. However it is not update for a many releases, because upstream disabled dynamic linking. It was building agains MariaDB for quite a time too. But that building broke, when MariaDB renamed its library. Now, actually, in F27 & Rawhide it is not even working anymore, because of the missing library. A month back, MariaDB upstream released its own ODBC conncetor - finally working and in GA version. On the other hand, this 'mariadb-connector-odbc' works only with the new, renamed library. (that is F27 & Rawhide) At this point, I'd like to see 'mysql-connector-odbc' die in order to actual, working and fresh software to be present. *If any of you does use 'mysql-connector-odbc', I'd love to hear your opinion!* before I'm making any official move. -- There are other ways too. Mostly variations of getting the static library from somewhere and link statically. However the effort needed to fix it in any such a way, would be big. -- Michal Schorm Associate Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat
