User [EMAIL PROTECTED] added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430332#c3 --- Comment #3 from Jo Shields <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-10-02 15:12:53 MDT --- I don't know of anyone or anything using that lib either - but my concern at a downstream level is that a dependency IS there (whether it's dumb or not), and that I need to make that dependency visible to the packaging system (to avoid random exceptions when users try running their apps) Within Ubuntu, there are two main types of package - Main are core apps in the default desktop (and with commercial support available), and Universe is for community-supported random stuff. libgda2 is pretty much abandoned upstream & has been moved to Universe - but as Mono is a core framework installed by default, any dependency of any kind on Universe packages is a no-no. Hence why I'd like to eliminate that dependency if I can. http://www.unixodbc.org/ would be where you find an ODBC API (which is in Main, as it happens), if a transition is seriously considered. If not... is it even worth bundling this assembly if that few people use it? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
