Description Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-02 09:17:47 UTC
I humbly submit to you the ebuild and digest for TOra 1.3.6 alpha.  Even had the
author fix an unknown bug so I could get the ebuild to work.

TOra is an oracle client for linux and windows.  Naturally it requires actual
Oracle client software to be installed.

This is probably a version 0.1 of the ebuild and I'm sure you might have some
tweaks.  Please let me know what you think.

Tarball of ebuild and digest file

I had put this in the dev-db category.	Didn't seem any other categories would
quite make sense.

TOra 1.3.6 and 1.3.6.1 alpha ebuild and digest

Some bug fixes made in the 1.3.6.1 release.  Please mark my previous tarball as
obsolete since the new tarball contains both 1.3.6 and 1.3.6.1 ebuild and
digest files.
Comment 3 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-17 08:32:14 UTC
A user in the forums asked about configuring for a non-Oracle install.  To do
this I need to have an oracle USE flag.  However this might seem odd as there is
no Oracle client Gentoo package.

How do you think I should handle it?
Comment 4 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-17 11:15:36 UTC
Use var oci8 should handle
Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-17 11:20:26 UTC
oci8 is a use flag?  I don't see it listed on the Gentoo USE flag guide.
Comment 6 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-22 22:54:20 UTC
Don: Can you resubmit the package as text files... It sould make it easier for me.

Comment 10 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-23 07:48:05 UTC
Alright submitted the ebuild and the text file.  This is a newer ebuild and I
have it using the "oracle" use flag to determine if it should install oracle or
not.  I never understood what your "oci8" comment was.  mysql and postgres
support are determined by what was compiled into qt.

Let me know if you think I should handle oracle differently.
Comment 11 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-24 02:49:49 UTC
oci8 = Oracle Call Interface 8

Which comment is in question?
Comment 12 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-24 02:53:03 UTC
Also, can I place the standard gentoo headers at the top of the ebuild?
and move your name and email to the changelog?
Comment 13 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-24 09:56:59 UTC
Sure you can change the headers.

I'm not the author of the program and I don't know anything about OCI.  The
author is on vacation all week.  I'm just a "power user" and the only gentoo
user on the TOra dev mailing list.

Is there a sample usage I could copy?
Comment 14 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-26 00:47:31 UTC
the headers should be in the root portage directory as skeleton files.

But, I'll tweak them and commit them.
Comment 15 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-26 09:00:58 UTC
OK thanks for the tip.  I think I copied my ebuild from some other project, so
the headers must have been missing from there too.

So what is the status of the whole Oracle thing?
Comment 16 Sascha Lüdecke 2002-07-31 06:52:20 UTC
I tried to install TOra on my system (postgres 7.2.1, qt 3.0.5 with sql 
support, KDE 3.0.2, no oracle, no mysql) but it failed initially.  Make tried 
to link the tora-mono target (in fact any tora target) with the oracle clntsh 
lib wich I don't have.  After changing the configure.pl (see patch) to not use 
the clntsh lib for linking, TOra emerged fine.  Furthermore, it runs like a 
grace.

Don't use -lclntsh from orcale for linking if no oracle found.

Patch to comment 16, making tora compile and install without oracle installed
(at least for my settings).
Comment 18 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-31 07:49:41 UTC
I'll post this back to the tora-dev mailing list.  Sounds like a bigger problem
than just the ebuild.  Thanks for using it.
Comment 19 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-31 07:57:58 UTC
Submitted fix to the dev mailing list so I think the configure.pl will be fixed
by tonight's nightly tarball and for the 1.3.7 release.  I will confirm when/if
this happens.

Thanks a bunch.
Comment 20 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-06 03:08:05 UTC
committed... changed use var oracle to oci8... oci8 has been used for other ebuilds.
Comment 21 Don Seiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-12 11:17:58 UTC
TOra 1.3.7 is out now.  I will attach the ebuild and digest files shortly. 
1.3.6* files are now moot.

Alright attachments submitted.  I copied your 1.3.6.1 ebuild this time.  I
commented out the line executing the patch since the fix was put into the 1.3.7
tree when the patch issue was reported to me.
