Greetings, |

3 |
Several JDBC updates went through today. |
4 |
|
5 |
* Updated Oracle, 9.2.0.4 and 9.2.0.5 for JDBC2 and JDBC3, slotted |
6 |
* Added packages for Firebird JDBC2 (1.3) and JDBC3 (1.4) drivers |
7 |
dev-java/jdbc2-firebird |
8 |
dev-java/jdbc3-firebird |
9 |
* Updated dev-java/jdbc2-postgresql with drivers for 7.4. |
10 |
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-mysql with version 3.0.15. |
11 |
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-mssqlserver with SP3 |
12 |
* Updated dev-java/jdbc-informix |
13 |
* 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 |
18 |
this would be an act of faith. If you are running 10, help me work on an |
19 |
ebuild please. |
20 |
|
21 |
Also, if there are drivers that you need that are not represented in the |
22 |
tree (for DB2 or whatever), let me know... or better yet, submit ebuilds. |
23 |
If there isn't any legal restriction (beyond nomirror/nofetch), it will |
24 |
get added to the tree promptly. |
25 |
|
26 |
Also, all JDBC packages are from upstream binaries. There is some desire |
27 |
to build what we can-- say, Postgresql's driver-- from source. While I'm |
28 |
not opposed to this, I think I prefer all JDBC drivers as binary ebuilds |
29 |
because Oracle, Informix, SQL Server, etc are going to be binary |
30 |
regardless. It's just easier if they're taken from upstream binaries, as |
31 |
there's no advantage that I can see to building from source in this |
32 |
circumstance (except to live by the Gentoo-ish principle of always |
33 |
building from source when possible). |

Comments welcome. |
