Bug#880411: sqldeveloper-package version forking
Hi.
First let me thank Adam for the sponsorship.
I've already had manually closed the LP #, and just closed #693798 also.
Didn't think about tagging #868673 until Phil's suggestion, thank you
very much for it (your suggested way of adding the tag didn't work for
me, had to do it the documented way of mailing control).
(BTW, I'm in the process of getting 0.5.0 ready in a week or two, it's
a major revamp, due to Oracle including shared libraries in SQL
Developer 4.1 which aren't being used in Debian due to their location)
