[Bug 399039] Re: Typing notification in empathy doesn't work for google talk contacts

2009-08-04 Thread RJT
It looks like typing notifications are broken for all XMPP chats - I see
not typing notifications when chatting to people via a Jabber server.

[Bug 374965] [NEW] Error fetching unicode text from MSSQL using PHP/FreeTDS

2009-05-11 Thread RJT
Public bug reported:

Querying ntext data (unicode text) from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 gives
the following error:

Unicode data in a Unicode-only collation or ntext data cannot be sent
to clients using DB-Library (such as ISQL) or ODBC version 3.7 or
earlier.

There's been some discussion about whether this is a packaging issue
(see bug #374925 and bug #87063), and if so whether it's an issue in
FreeTDS or one of the PHP packages, or whatever. I'll not suggest any
solutions to this bug that can be disagreed with and lead to the bug
being closed as invalid, because I think all of that is irrelevant; the
point is there's a bug in Ubuntu and it needs to be fixed somehow, by
someone.

[Bug 87063] Re: [needs-packaging] Please package php5-mssql

2009-02-13 Thread RJT
It's such a shame that it's taken this long to elicit an explanation
from the packaging team, instead of just php5-sybase provides
php5-mssql now. Obviously if php5-sybase provides true MSSQL support as
well as Sybase support then this bug is not valid (any more).

There are people here who know what they need from PHP, but don't know
how to create Debian packages. Ondřej, if you or another packager had
given the explanation you just did a lot earlier, instead of just
blankly insisting that php5-sybase is enough, you'd not have had people
like me, who don't know about how Debian packages are built, nagging you
about needing php5-mssql.

When I raised this bug it was valid. The first explanation to it being
closed without a new php5-mssql package being available was your comment
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/87063/comments/28)
which evidently didn't explain clearly enough for people that
php5-sybase now includes --with-mssql=shared.

The people who've commented here are not whiners, nor are they trying to
waste your time. Packagers, you can help yourselves and us by taking
just a little more time to try to communicate with bug reporters and
commentators more effectively, instead of regarding us as know-nothing
irritations.

2009-02-12 Thread RJT
It's been a while since I've been working with MSSQL, which is why I'm
only just revisiting this bug.

The Sybase (DBLIB) drivers do not provide all the functionality needed
when using a Microsoft SQL Server DB. For example, using this driver
with PDO reports that transactions and stored procedures are not
supported.

Providing a php5-mssql package that is really a virtual package linked
to php5-sybase is not adequate: we need a real php5-mssql package with
true Microsoft SQL server support, not basic compatibility using the
DBLIB.

[Bug 87063] Re: [needs-packaging] Please package php5-mssql

2009-02-12 Thread RJT
Why are you guys so reluctant to make such a small change to include
better MS SQL Server support?

Can you imagine the (correct, IMO) response from the PHP guys to a
request to add better MSSQL support to the Sybase extension? I bet it
would be No, the functionality is already there in the MSSQL extension,
use that instead. Even if the response is Sure, yeah, we'll do that
right away, that doesn't solve the problem for Ubuntu users now: it
would take ages for the change to filter down to an Ubuntu release.

It would be so easy to fix this bug properly; what's the big deal with
insisting that the Sybase extension ought to be sufficient?

[Bug 87063] Re: Please package php5-mssql

2007-04-23 Thread RJT
No, they really aren't. If you have to use MS SQL Server in an
enterprise environment, as is the case for me, the Sybase extension
isn't up to the job. The mssql_* functions it provides are in fact
aliases to sybase_* functions, and they don't behave in the same way as
the true mssql_* functions, nor are they as reliable when used with MS
SQL Server databases. I'm well aware that Sybase and MS SQL Server have
the same heritage, but they have developed away from each other now.

I can understand how one might want to keep Ubuntu as free as possible
from anything Microsoft, but that's not really very practical in a
distribution that is trying to foster adoption in the enterprise. It's
not as if the distribution will be dirty if it includes a php5-mssql
package.

As soon as possible (although sadly we're talking years yet) my company
will be moving away from using MS SQL Server, preferring Free/Open
Source RDBMSs, but in the meantime it's very important that we have good
performance from the correct drivers, not just a basic level of
compatibility provided by something similar.

Compilation of the real MS SQL Server extension is so easy, surely
there's no good reason not to create the php5-mssql package?

[Bug 89591] Re: Please package Amarok Rio Karma support (--with-libkarma)

2007-03-07 Thread RJT
Hmm. Well, I've tried three times to raise a bug for OMFS today, but
keep seeing a Launchpad timeout error. Fortunately I think I was wrong
in saying it's required for this Amarok patch - it's just that this
patch won't be useful without it. Happily too, installing OMFS support
the old-fashioned way is easy, just a sudo make modules
modules_installl, so it's not the end of the world if it's not
packaged-up.

I'll try again later I guess

[Bug 89591] Re: Please package Amarok Rio Karma support (--with-libkarma)

2007-03-05 Thread RJT
Ah, thanks for taking a look Andrew. I clearly should have been a little
more explicit about what is required. I can't help thinking that
writing-up a spec for this change would be a little bureaucratic!

As you say, the --with-libkarma configuration flag is required. Three
new files will be compiled so those will need to be added to the
debian.install file. They are:

* /usr/lib/kde3/libamarok_riokarma-mediadevice.la
* /usr/lib/kde3/libamarok_riokarma-mediadevice.so
* /usr/share/services/amarok_riokarma-mediadevice.desktop

Finally, the libkarma0 package is required and libkarma-dev is a build
requirement. I don't think the karma-tools package is required.

Additionally, OMFS is required - the kernel module to support the Karma
file system. I don't think this is a package at the moment. See http
://linux-karma.sourceforge.net/rio-usb.html.

I've managed to get my Karma auto-mounting by using the settings files
listed here, although in Feisty there's no need to manually create the
mount-point:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-karma-
devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00258.html

I guess it'd be handy to suggest to the HAL package maintainer that
these settings files be added to the package, but I'm a bit loathe to
try after the reception of this bug!

Public bug reported:

Using freetds it's fairly trivial to install an appropriate mssql.so,
but it still requires downloading and compiling PHP and when a security
update for the standard PHP packages is released, having a self-compiled
