Oracle 8.1.6, 8.1.7 on Debian
Greetings,
Anyone who uses Oracle probably has figured out that currently Oracle
8.1.6 and 8.1.7 link against glibc-2.1.3, while woody/sid include 2.2.3.
I would like to go to woody on my servers, but I'm not sure of the
ramifications of this. Oracle provides a patch located at
ftp://205.227.44.220/server/patchsets/unix/LINUX/bug1467074/
that includes "stubs" for 2.1.3 but the README with that patch confuses
me and makes me worry about building things like DBD::Oracle, php4, etc.
Can someone enlighten me? What would be the "Debian way" to solve this
problem?
BTW I would really like to see Debian become one of Oracle's supported
distros, does anyone know if that will ever happen?
