Merge with gnome-python2-gda
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:09 EST
Hi, With the now merged core and extras, for F-8 we should consider folding gnome-python2-gda back into gnome-python2-extras where it belongs :-) I'd be happy to act as gnome-python2-extras co-maintainer if that can help. cheers, -denis (gnome-python2-gda packager)
I'm all for the idea of merging it back in but I'm confused about the current gnome-python2-gda package. The gnome-python2-extras package in Rawhide would require libgda version 2.99.6 (according to its configure.ac). The Fedora package, however, requires the compat-libgda package which only provides libgda 1.2.4. And I don't even see a libgda version in Fedora beyond 1.9.100. What's going on here?
Well my understanding is that we're moving to libgda 3.0 for F-8. The current version in CVS is 3.0.1. My other main motivation is to prepare for the upcoming glom 1.6 stable tree that needs libgda 3 (and a whole bunch of deps including gnome-python2-extras). gnome-python2-extras 2.14.x still requires libgda 1.2.x, currently provided by compat-libgda 1.2.4. What i would like to do is EOL compat-libgda completely and move everything to libgda 3.0.x. This requires the following changes: - move gnome-python2-extras to 2.19.1 - move glom to 1.5.2 (I own that) - move libgdamm to 2.9.7 (I co-own that) - gnumeric is already patched to support libgda 3 (CCing Hans) - libgmomedb is already at 3.0 in CVS (Hans also owns that) Did I miss any other deps ? Do you see any issues with moving gnome-python2-extras to 2.19.1 ?

Correct, actually rawhide is already at libgda and libgnomedb 3.0.x > - gnumeric is already patched to support libgda 3 (CCing Hans) Correct, rawhide has a patched version of gnumeric which uses libgda3, according to one reporter, with this version the gnumeric database access functions actually work :) > - libgmomedb is already at 3.0 in CVS (Hans also owns that) > Correct, and 3.0 is in rawhide too. If you want I can push libgda libgnomedb 3.0.x + a matching gnumeric to F-7 updates too.
Hans, I'd wait until we have a chance to test everything thoroughly. gnome-python2-extras checks for libgda-3.0.pc, so in theory should just compile fine with libgda-3.0, but I wouldn't be surprised if things needed a patch or two to make glom work correctly... I'm having problems with my Rawhide VMware VM (crashes the host kernel :-( ), so i'm having trouble testing this at the moment...
Denis, Okay I have the gda stuff packaged into gnome-python2-extras-2.19.1-2.fc8. I introduced two new subpackages: gnome-python2-gda Contains the shared library gnome-python2-gda-devel Contains the header and pkgconfig files I also added: Obsoletes: gnome-python2-gda <= 2.14.3-1 Obsoletes: gnome-python2-gda-devel <= 2.14.3-1 Look right?
Looks good, the merge with the spec file from the gnome-python2-gda should have been straightforward. This will cause temporary dependency breakage until I get libgdamm and glom fixed, but i guess that's ok with rawhide.
gnome-python2-gda confirmed removed from F8.
Closing this. gnome-python2-gda has been merged back into gnome-python2-extras.
