Enabling support for oracle requires access to the oracle libraries at
compile-time and run-time. And understandably, Debian does not want
that software on their autobuilders. The oracle licens does not allow
you to re-distrubute them either (I'm pretty sure, but IANAL).
However, if you have a copy of Oracle8 lying around (might work with 7
and 9 too, haven't tried), then enabling oracle support is as simple:
- remove "--without-oracle" in the call to configure in debian/rules
- Make sure that $ORACLE_HOME is set
- fakeroot debian/rules binary
and you have a deb that supports oracle. I'm not sure how much of the
Oracle stuff it pulls in at compile-time; I would not assume that you're
allowed to redistribute the result.
