Bug 397571 – dev-db/oracle-instantclient-* 11.2.0.3 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Troy Bowman 2012-01-04 00:35:42 UTC]

Oracle 11g has been out for over four years now and oracle-instantclient-basic as well as the related oracle-instantclient packages could likely be safely marked as stable in portage to enable 11g client features by default.  The only ramifications are if other packages depend on oracle-instantclient-basic, such as ruby-oci8 (which I know works).

qdepend keeps telling me it's too fat (what the?) so I did a grep for oracle-instantclient-basic in ebuilds to find the ones that mention it, and these are the ones I found:

app-admin/collectd
app-admin/rsyslog
dev-db/opendbx
dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic
dev-db/oracle-instantclient-jdbc
dev-db/oracle-instantclient-odbc
dev-db/oracle-instantclient-sqlplus
dev-db/tora
dev-lang/mono
dev-lang/php
dev-ruby/ruby-oci8
net-analyzer/hydra
net-analyzer/zabbix
net-im/ekg2
sci-physics/root

Of those, it looks like only dev-lang/mono depends specifically on 10.2.




Reproducible: Always

Refer to bug 389711 if you want to see what spurred this request.

Looking in the history shows DBD::Oracle (CPAN module) from bug#165834, which is broken with oracle-instantclient-basic-11.2.0.2.

While at bumping 11.2.0.3 (with a fix for that), I've added multilib support (bug#284096), but it turned out that the 32bit libaio is missing on amd64-multilib ATM.

For the records: dev-libs/libaio-0.3.109-r3 should fix this.

[Comment 4 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) 2012-11-12 11:53:37 UTC]

So these are the packages for this stabilization request:

=dev-libs/libaio-0.3.109-r3
=dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-11.2.0.3
=dev-db/oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-11.2.0.3
=dev-db/oracle-instantclient-jdbc-11.2.0.3
=dev-db/oracle-instantclient-odbc-11.2.0.3

Thank you!
