Greetings, 

Several JDBC updates went through today.

* Updated Oracle, 9.2.0.4 and 9.2.0.5 for JDBC2 and JDBC3, slotted
* Added packages for Firebird JDBC2 (1.3) and JDBC3 (1.4) drivers
    dev-java/jdbc2-firebird
    dev-java/jdbc3-firebird
* Updated dev-java/jdbc2-postgresql with drivers for 7.4.
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-mysql with version 3.0.15.
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-mssqlserver with SP3
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-informix
* Fixed dev-java/jdbc-stdext to install API docs.

All updates are ~arch for testing. 

Oracle 10 coming soon... I don't have an Oracle 10 db to test against, so 
this would be an act of faith.  If you are running 10, help me work on an 
ebuild please.

Also, if there are drivers that you need that are not represented in the 
tree (for DB2 or whatever), let me know... or better yet, submit ebuilds.  
If there isn't any legal restriction (beyond nomirror/nofetch), it will 
get added to the tree promptly.

Also, all JDBC packages are from upstream binaries.  There is some desire 
to build what we can-- say, Postgresql's driver-- from source.  While I'm 
not opposed to this, I think I prefer all JDBC drivers as binary ebuilds 
because Oracle, Informix, SQL Server, etc are going to be binary 
regardless.  It's just easier if they're taken from upstream binaries, as 
there's no advantage that I can see to building from source in this 
circumstance (except to live by the Gentoo-ish principle of always 
building from source when possible).

Comments welcome.

Cheers,
