Re: proposed packages (non-free): oracle8i, db2
Plus the fact that the Oracle install would actually work!
Argg...I had to hack up their scripts to get the damn thing to
install...ugg...
Yes..it would be nice to see a .deb for Oracle. But one question
I have is...yes it's downloadable..but is it re-distributable?
Other than that I think we should package anything that is free for
non-commercial or internal developmental use especially things like
Oracle and DB2. We need to stay as open as we possible can under
the guidelines we (well..not me since I'm new to all of this) have
come up with.
Just my 2 cents...
