InstantClient Basic package

Just put it under the dev-db category in portage, create the digest, and
install it.

robin, I think you'd mentioned interest in oracle and gentoo on one of the ml's
no?

as much as i'd like to take care of these, i don't have the resources to test
them out properly at the moment, or the time to take care of them.

having a developer that seriously does oracle stuff would be a great help, to
take properly care of these.

bouncing back to bug-wranglers for now.

I haven't looked to deeply, but I assume this might have to be one of those
restricted fetch things like sun-jdk so the user can click through the license
agreements and what not.

Good to see this though.

Ah I see you've taken care of it all.  Fantastic.

Thoughts against naming these ebuilds oracle-instantclient-*, instead of just
instantclient-*?

I'm testing now.

------- Comment #10 From Jamis Buck 2004-03-22 12:14:53 0000 ------- 
Good idea.  Guess I wasn't thinking as clearly when I created them. :)

I added the OTN license to the portage tree.  It's same basic license as
existing oracle-jdbc, and so the jdbc packages should use OTN.  I'll talk to
them later.

These three packages (with oracle- prefixes) have been added to portage and
masked in packages.mask.  Unmask in your /etc/portage/packages.unmask and test
away.  Report back here and I'll open it up.

FWIW the sqlplus client worked like a champ for me.

Anyone have any results to report?  I'm going to assume success at the end of
the day and unmask otherwise.

Hm seems to work at least for my local setup. Havn't tested in any production
environment.

But I'm sure, I you unmask it, and there is a problem, the problem will
reported.

Unmasked.  Thanks again.

Any problems should be reported as new bugs.
