Hi, Right now he have the following situation ragarding hsqldb in Debian - "hsqldb" is 1.8.x, long obsolete version but still needed by LO - hsqldb2.0 in experimental (RM bug #670885 filed, should be removed in favour of hsqldb2.2) - hsqldb2.2 in experimental (well, at the time of this writing in NEW) which is upstreams supported version. I'd like to switch that and make hsqldb make build the current one and build a libhsqldb1.8-java out of a hsqldb1.8. In February, I already asked all maintainers of hsqldb-using packages whether they would be OK[1], so so far, regardless of two pings ([2],[3]) noone except Andreas Tille for debian-med answered that it would be OK for him and breakages could be fixed quickly. LO will obviously need a source upload to update its (build)-dependends but otherwise the other packages don't need changes. Unfortunately the new libhsqldb-java must conflict against libreoffice-base because of the file format issue... Dear RT, can I go on with this transition? Regards, Rene P.S: Note that a hsqldb upload to sid where it's being 2.2.8 will result in it being orphaned in the same upload; as noone wants to take it over and I only care about 1.8.x (for LO) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2012/02/msg00069.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2012/04/msg00227.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2012/04/msg00408.html -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-kirkwood Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
