I am wrapping a ports "collection" for postgresql-7.2 (yes, all you who asked, it is *almost* ready ;-). One thing that puzzles me, and that I haven't got a good enough answer from the postgresql authors' community is this: unixODBC installs File: lib/libodbcpsql.so.1 File: lib/libodbcpsql.so.2 but postgresql odbc support installs: File: lib/libodbcpsql.so.0 The latter is the newest, greatest and best.. this version scheme is of course *not* good. :( What is you suggestion? Shall we modify unixODBC port not to install the datasource descriptions for postgres (they will be installed by the new postgresql-odbc port in that case), or shall we wait for unixODBC developers to wake up and grab the latest postgresql source, or bump the version number for the postgresql lib to `2' or perhaps `3', or maybe hope that users install postgresql *after* unixODBC and before htey link their apps, so the symlink will point to lib/libodbcpsql.so.0 (just kidding)... Perhaps the difference doesn't make much difference, but the versions of these libs are still very wrong. I don't use ODBC clients on unix, hence I'm not sure how to handle this. Suggestions most welcome! Thanks Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
