Bug#881035: RFS: unixodbc/2.3.4-1.1 [NMU]



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for an NMU of the package "unixodbc".

* Package name: unixodbc
  Version: 2.3.4-1.1
  Upstream Author: Nick Gorham <nick@unixodbc.org>
* URL: http://www.unixodbc.org
* License: LGPL v2.1
  Section: libs

The source builds the following binary packages:
* libodbc1   - ODBC library for Unix
* odbcinst   - Helper program for accessing odbc ini files
* odbcinst1debian2 - Support library for accessing odbc ini files
* unixodbc   - Basic ODBC tools
* unixodbc-dev - ODBC libraries for UNIX (development files)

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
    https://mentors.debian.net/package/unixodbc

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/unixodbc/unixodbc_2.3.4-1.1.dsc

More information about unixodbc can be obtained from http://www.unixodbc.org.

Changes since the last upload:
  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * debian/control:
    - Mark unixodbc-dev Multi-Arch: same (Closes: #872411).
    - Depend on libltdl-dev instead of libltdl3-dev.
  * debian/rules:
    - Compile with --enable-fastvalidate to avoid performance degradation
      when working with large numbers of handles (Closes: #819622).
    - Move unixodbc_conf.h to /usr/include/<triplet> to avoid
      a file conflict on multi-arch systems.

I am aware that the package needs work to clean it up - e.g. converting to package format 3.0,
fixing lintian issues and so on. This work is not possible in a general NMU and, as a result, has
not been included in this release.

Regards,
Hugh McMaster
