Description Joshua Daniel Franklin 2008-08-27 17:16:18 UTC
Description of problem:
Version 0.82 of freetds was released on 2008 May 7:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/ANNOUNCEMENT
This is an important release for those of us who have to access
MS SQL Server 2005 from Linux, for example here is a writeup from
earlier this year:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/~rose/Linux2UWSDB.html

This release may break php-mssql which wants "libtds" which
has been renamed. I do not know if latest php-mssql fixes this or not.

Downloads available at http://freetds.org or 
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/

Hei,

it is already in rawhide since Jun 17 . See fe.:
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/Packages/freetds-0.82-2.fc10.i386.rpm

- libtds was not renamed
- php-mssql requires libsybdb.so.5, not libtds
- the libtds library itself is still provided in Fedora, for compatibility reasons.

P.S. Insufficiently long vacation?  ;)

Apparently so! Thanks. Maybe I'll get a rawhide system set up, or wait for Fedora 10.
