I don't mind creating a new ebuild on demand, but it will take a while until I
can get to it.  If you took a stab at it yourself and gave me something to start
with, it could speed up the process considerably. ;^)

Direct link to the files.  If it's not done in a couple weeks I will take a stab
at it, too busy to learn at the moment. =)
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-08-08 10:01:59 UTC
has anyone done anything with this ?
Comment 4 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-13 12:33:52 UTC
Punting this back to bug-wranglers.  I had a look, and the thing is released in
a really awkward way.  Don't think I have the time or interest to deal with it.
Comment 5 Henti Smith 2002-09-22 10:59:53 UTC
I'm busy learning ebuilds .. have writen wto so far .. still learning tho;P 
I'd be happy to take a stab at it with some feed back on what I've done ? 

Comments ?

I'm too busy for this bug, so I'll reassign it..
regards
Comment 12 Holly 2003-06-06 03:01:48 UTC
is there a newer ebuild yet? it's a pity, that sapdb isn't in the portage tree. well, since sapdb is related to mysql it might get more popular.
Comment 13 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-06-06 13:57:52 UTC
update the ebuild to the latest version mholzer and ill do some tests on it ...

Comment 17 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-10 09:23:41 UTC
matt: did you do some ebuilds ? if no, could you test these ?
we also need start/stop scripts
Comment 18 Randy Roesler 2003-06-29 21:35:40 UTC
I started to create an ebuild for SAP -- starting from source. 
After MUCH work I actually have the system building, there is  
a required patch (which I tried to minimize) and it will compile 
as joe blow user (or in the sandbox). 
 
But I can not figure our how to install the thing, because some 
files are missing from the distribution.  I'm -- stuck, and not sure if  
its worth it to continue down this road (source installation) 
 
Not sure if starting from source is of interest to you -- but if so, 
send an email and I will pass on whatever I have  
Comment 19 tuXXer 2003-07-10 13:05:29 UTC
I've had made start-stop-scripts for myself look here: 
 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=65515 
 
It has options for getting all database instances up and starting the server and webtools. 
Furthermore changeable DBM user and su feature, so that it can run with other priviledges. 
 
Well what's about webtools, jdbc and odbc drivers and database instances? 
 
When you too busy, can I may change the ebuild for post installations processes? 
 
What's about installing from the native tars instead of the install program? 
 
Should I take a look on it? 
 
Furthermore I can work on the webtools, jdbc and odbc driver ebuilds that weekend (not sure if 
the time is acceptable).  
 
On problems with sap db, I've a working installation with webtools, jdbc driver and server 
components and an instance install script. 
Comment 20 tuXXer 2003-07-10 13:15:58 UTC
Well, I missed something. 
 
For working on, could you please post your source result, e.g. files that you identified. That 
means which files would be installed in the depend, independ data and program path. 
Furthermore which tars belongs to it. 
 
By the way in the posting in the forum I've had the env.d file, too 
Comment 21 tuXXer 2003-07-12 15:05:38 UTC
Well, good and bad news. 
 
The writing of the build was very quickly. I implemented a md5 check for the extracted tar balls 
according to the sums in the tars. The infrastructure is ready. The start-stop-scripts are ready 
(see last posting). But there are some things to do. First there are no missing files, but it 
seems that the registry of the db server and the system tables are written in a way, I couldn't 
adopt, so far. I'm trying further. To do list: 
 
- Writing of db registry 
- Writing of db system tables 
- Including of start-stop script and environment files 
- User switch to user sapdb 
- Installer for database instance 
 
When ready (I hope I get the registry and system tables running) then I writing further ebuilds: 
 
- Webtools 
- Htmldoc 
- WebDAV extension 
aso. 
Comment 22 tuXXer 2003-07-20 13:29:09 UTC
Well, no luck with creating an ebuild for SAP DB: 
 
1. It seems that the installer and the source checking - if available - Registry1.dcom (which 
seems to be a binary hash list of installed programs) and add or remove SAP DB programs. 
2. The system tables seems to look after Registry1.dcom 
3. The source of SAP DB 7.4.03.25 have to much errors for a clean gentoo install (wrong 
program parameter callings, missing build information aso.) 
 
Therefore, imho, I have no hope that a source installation on gentoo works errorless. So I stop 
developing of an ebuild. 
Comment 23 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-18 07:35:54 UTC
sapdb will die in a short while

instead of it, use maxdb

for an ebuild which installs maxdb, please open a new bug
Comment 24 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-11-18 10:10:19 UTC
maxdb IS sapdb, they just changed the name

versioning schema and everything else hasnt changed
Comment 25 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-07 17:00:11 UTC
reassigning since maxdb == mysql
Comment 26 Charles Goodwin 2003-12-13 16:01:43 UTC
Why reassign since mysql is in portage?
Comment 27 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-12-13 16:13:43 UTC
you guys don't get it.
while sapdb has been taken over by the MySQL people, it is still a SEPERATE product. It has been renamed to MaxDB since they took it over.
Comment 28 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-12-13 16:15:24 UTC
please update your ebuild to use the new version from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/maxdb.html
latest version is 7.5.00.05.
Comment 29 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2004-08-14 15:36:09 UTC
made obsolete by bugs 42286, 42465.
