Description Jarkko 2010-04-22 16:46:44 UTC
Description of problem:

Current libgda version is not necessarily stable / feature rich enough for derived applications. This is important because the version will eventually end up in EPEL's EL6 repository.

Libgda 4.0.8 provides many important biugfixes:

 * better BLOBs support for SQLite and MySQL
 * backported information fetching about tables' indexes
 * fixed data corruption problem with GdaDataSelect object
 * lots of bugs fixed and memory leaks removed

And also new gir1.0-gda package which is fundamental for derived applications in Gnome, since it provides GObject Introspection support.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.0.5 in F12, 4.0.7 in F13 and rawhide.


Expected results:

Derived applications need >= 4.0.8 which means F12, F13 and rawhide should be updated to that version.


Additional info:

libgda can be downloaded from http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/4.0/

Comment 1 Haïkel Guémar 2010-04-23 08:57:07 UTC
It should be pushed today for F-12+ (builds fine w/ GI on F-12+ now)
Following fedora current practices, GObject introspection stuff won't be packaged apart, *.gir will go in *-devel subpackage and *.typefile in main package.

I originally planned to go straight to 4.1.x (mainly because of libgda-ui) for F-13+, but it would be unwise to push unstable version into EL6. 
For testing purpose, could you tell me which are those applications requiring libgda GI support ?

Thanks, 
H.

Comment 2 Jarkko 2010-04-23 09:55:25 UTC
I created this bug on behalf of the Midgard Project (Midgard2 is built on top of libgda) so I don't know all the details...

Asked about applications requiring libgda GI support and got this response from the head developer of the Midgard2 library/core:

"I do not think there's application which requires Gda GIR right now, but libs like Midgard can not build own GIR because of Gda misses one :)"


Btw. It wouldn't hurt to push the update for F11 too. 4.0.5 there isn't really useful from what I've understood. 4.0.8 has proven as a working version and all 4.0.x having repositories under maintenance should be updated to >= 4.0.8 if possible.

Anyway, the reason I created this ticket was that it's actually critical to have at least 4.0.8 in EL6 when its EPEL repository opens. Thanks.
