Hello
I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "mdbtools". The former
maintainer, Tim Retout, has no time to sponsor it after all.
Package name : mdbtools
Version : 0.7~rc1-2
Upstream Author : Brian Bruns <brian@bruns.com>
URL : https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools
http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/
License : LGPL (libs) / GPL (bins)
Section : database
It builds those binary packages:
libmdb2 - Core library for accessing JET / MS Access (MDB) files
libmdbodbc1 - MDB tools ODBC module
libmdbsql2 - mdbtools sql library
mdbtools - JET / MS Access database (MDB) tools
mdbtools-dev - mdbtools development files
mdbtools-gmdb - JET / MS Access database (MDB) file viewer
Upstream version 0.7~rc1 includes many improvements in exports of mdb/jet
files into sql, including indexes, default values, and foreign keys.
Other changes include fixes for all Debian bugs, support for encrypted
files...
Main changes in the Debian parts are multi-arch support, automatic odbcinst
driver registration, .desktop to register .mdb files, improved documentation.
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/mdbtools
http://packages.qa.debian.org/mdbtools
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mdbtools/mdbtools_0.7~rc1-2.dsc
I know support for .mdb files is not the most sexy thing one could bring to
Debian, but you'll be very happy to find it when you need it.
Please sponsor me.
Kind regards,
Jean-Michel Vourgère
