Bug#493356: libgda3: libgda3-freetds builds against obsolete lib, should be dropped
Em Sáb, 2008-08-02 às 04:19 -0700, Steve Langasek escreveu: Package: libgda3 Version: 3.0.2-4 Severity: serious Tags: sid Hi Gustavo, Hello, FreeTDS 0.82 has recently been accepted into unstable. While I believed this would be a straightforward library ABI transition because the FreeTDS public APIs are all defined by external specs, it appears that libgda3 has been linking against libtds. libtds is an internal library that was never intended for third-party software to link against, and it has been dropped upstream with the latest release. As a result, libgda3 now fails to build. I've tried to migrate to the sybase provider, since freetds is intended to be an implementation of the sybase client API, but the sybase provider in libgda3 is itself broken with undefined symbols (gda_sybase_type_list). So in the end I gave up on this; I think the best course of action is to disable the build of libgda3-freetds. FreeTDS can still be supported using the libgda3-odbc backend. Since freetds 0.63 is no longer supported upstream, and libtds was never a supported interface anyway, I would like this to be done for lenny; I will be happy to NMU for this if you like. Feel free to NMU with the freetds provider disabled; with 8 popcon votes only I suppose this isn't an issue. Please find two patches attached. The first includes the changes to disable building libgda3-freetds. The second is a patch to fix the issues with building against the FreeTDS implementation of libct; I think it should probably be forwarded upstream, but even after applying this patch, the provider still fails to build. Upstream is currently working heavily on a new version with a lot of changes to the API, so I don't know if this patch would be useful. For what I've heard, seems likely this next upstream will release only with mysql, postgresql and sqlite backends with production quality. Thanks and regards, -- Gustavo R.

Em Sáb, 2008-08-02 às 10:49 -0700, Steve Langasek escreveu: Hi Gustavo, Hello again :) This same problem applies also to libgda2. Here, however, the package will build from source with the small patches to the sybase driver, since the sybase driver is not broken upstream, so I've provided a patch to enable it in the build instead. Because the object name has changed, as well as all the symbols to be looked up within it, I don't think it's possible to provide a straightforward compatibility wrapper for the object; so I think it's best to rename the package (gda2-freetds - gda2-sybase) at the same time. Patch is attached; once again, I'm happy to NMU if you find this would be useful. Feel free to go ahead with the NMU. Thanks and regards, -- Gustavo R.

I'll continue with that, as this patch can be pushed upstream later. My hopes are of having it finished and upload the newer libgda in the next weekend. -- Gustavo R.

Hi, I announced this transition long ago, described how to fix it, and even provided a patch: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/patches/postgresql-transition/libgda2.psqlng.diff Please use pg_config to determine the correct header path. Actually, the patch to transition to the newer postgres is already on Gnome-team svn. I'm having problems to build/upload the new package due to some changes in freetds and the frequent brokness of other dependencies by the dozens of transitions out there. -- Gustavo R.

Bug#296863: libgnomedb FTBFS (#296863)

I've taken a look in the report, and thought it's probably because of some change in gtk-doc-tools or related softwares (Jade?). As you said, I'm just waiting the new version of libgda (1.2.0) get out of the NEW queue (actually, for the one that is sitting there to be rejected, then upload a better one and wait...) to upload a newer libgnomedb, where things are working well. The debian/ dir for building the 1.2 packages can be found at svn.debian.org Anyway, if you want some help on investigating this, I'm willing to! If you're really wish to do so go ahead, and I'll try to make an upload if you send me a patch. However, I don't think this is really necessary. Anyway, thanks for the kind offer. -- Gustavo R.
