Bug 32824 – DBD::SQLite 0.28 lacks an ebuild and is a dependency for Lire 1.4rc1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raymond Page 2003-11-05 13:51:52 UTC]

I've submitted a request for a Lire ebuild to be added, and there is a working
or nearly working ebuild for 1.3.  However 1.4rc1 was just released, and has the
added dependency of DBD::SQLite 0.28, which is not included in the portage tree
at this time.  I submitted an ebuild for the new release but do not know how to
add DBD::SQLite 0.28 as a dependency if it isn't in the portage tree.

Lire 1.4rc1 can be found at
http://download.logreport.org/pub/lire-1.4rc1.tar.gz.  I'll add the INSTALL
comments that are relevant.

Reproducible: Always

Dependency excerpt from the Lire 1.4rc1 INSTALL file.

    - DBD::SQLite 0.28 with a patch applied. For convenience, a patched
      source version is available from the LogReport website.

I'm presuming an ebuild is needed because it's a dependency of another (new)
portage item.  See:

Supposedly .29 will be fully patched and be able to resolve the dependency
for Lire 1.4rc1

[Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2003-12-07 08:58:03 UTC]

Looks like .29 is out. Could you please test with Lire?

[Comment 4 Brett Simpson 2003-12-15 08:06:14 UTC]

I installed DB::SQLite .29 via CPAN and Lire still complains.

checking for valid DBD::SQLite API... configure: error: no (Please install DBD::SQLite 0.28 patched with extras/DBD-SQLite-0.28.patch or a later vanilla version before continuing)

Has anyone generated an ebuild yet for DBD::SQLLite? Something we can test and confirm with? Not trying to be rude, but we're swamped with bugs as it is :)

[Comment 6 Raymond Page 2004-02-27 14:42:30 UTC]

I've been swamped with work and classes.  After Spring Break (March 6-15), I should be able to take a look at some other Perl modules that have ebuilds and see if I can generate a rudimentary ebuild.  To my knowledge, I'm the only individual to have requested an ebuild for DBD::SQLite.  My request is because Lire has this module as a dependency.  Perhaps if it is requested as something not dependent on Lire, it will get more activity?

[Comment 7 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-03-31 03:58:09 UTC]

Can you test with DBD-SQLite-0.31? (added to portage this morning)

[Comment 8 Raymond Page 2004-04-30 23:37:35 UTC]

The ebuild for this appears to satisfy the dependency and function properly.

[Comment 9 Raymond Page 2004-05-11 10:15:34 UTC]

I've been using DBD::SQLite 0.29 that's in portage and it works fine for Lire.  I'm not sure if I can resolve this, but I feel that it should be marked as resolved.
