           Summary: Review Request: compat-libgda - gnome database access
                    library
           Product: Fedora Extras
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: Package Review
        AssignedTo: bugzilla-sink at leemhuis.info

Spec URL: http://www.poolshark.org/src/compat-libgda.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.poolshark.org/src/compat-libgda-1.2.3-1.src.rpm

Description: 

This package provides the last stable version of libgda, from the 1.2.x tree (libgda-2.so). Since FC-5, fedora-extras has moved on to the unstable versions (1.3.x and 1.9.x), which provide libgda-3.so.

The main goal of this compat package is to package Glom, the much talked-about database design tool. Glom is based on libgdamm (already part of Extras though not currently built), which in turn requires libgda-2.so. Once built, we will be able to revive libgdamm then finally submit Glom itself for review (it will also need gnome-python2-gda).

This compat package is somewhat minimalist so as to not create conflicts with the libgda 1.9.x, and currently only enables the postgresQL module by default (because it's the only one used by Glom), however we can enable other modules in the future if some package needs it (the mysql module compiles fine with mysqlclient10).
