Package: libmono-firebirdsql1.7-cil
Version: 1.2.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Please consider linking libmono-firebirdsql1.7-cil with libfbclient1,
not libfbembed1.

The reason for this request is that I am preparing new release of
firebird packages that include a change of installation path, causing
binaries linked with the old libfbembed1 to stop working when using
direct connection path (no server: in the connection string). There will
be no shlibs bump, nor package rename.

The problem can be easily solved also by rebuilding (bin-NMU too)
libmono-firebirdsql1.7-cil with the newer libfbembed1.

However, I believe that libfbclient1 is the better choice anyway, since
libfbclient is thread-safe (libfbembed1 is not).

libfbembed is actually for embedded applications, when the firebird
server needs to be built into the application itself.


Please tell me what your intention is
a) link with libfbclient (preferred) (could be made for etch)
b) rebuild with newer libfbembed (possible after etch release)

If you choose b), I'll notify you (or request all-arch bin-NMU if you
wish) when new libfbembed package is upploaded.


Thanks you for your time,
    dam
