Both ports CONFLICT right now, only because both install /usr/local/include/sql.h Otherwise, they could be installed in parallel and there would be no problem. The contents of include/sql.h is very similar, because it contains the interface definitions of ODBC (mostly 'defines'). > I don't have personal experience, but the two ports should be completely > interchangeable, so we could add support for USE_ODBC in > bsd.databases.mk and allow the user to choose the odbc implementation > (with one [unixODBC?] as default to create consistent packages). As far as I heard from some ppl, they are not 100% interchangeable. Maybe some clever construct of ifdef in a generic sql.h and two install-locations for the two sql.h files would help to resolv the CONFLICT ? -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 9 years to go !
