Bug#1027036: O: libiodbc2 -- iODBC Driver Manager
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: libiodbc2@packages.debian.org, Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org>
Control: affects -1 + src:libiodbc2
I intend to orphan the libiodbc2 package.
The package used to be required by the KDE stack but it’s not the case
anymore since a couple of releases and so the Qt/KDE Team hasn’t been
updating it.
The project is not dead upstream and has seen several new releases since
the last upstream version we packaged in 2014.
The package description is:
The iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) driver manager is compatible
with the ODBC 2.x and 3.x specification and performs all the jobs of a
ODBC driver manager (i.e. driver loading, parameters and function sequence
checking, driver's function invoking, etc). Any ODBC driver working with
ODBC 2.0 and 3.x driver manager will also work with iODBC driver manager
and vice versa.
.
Applications (using ODBC function calls) linked with iODBC driver manager
will be able to simultaneously access different types of data sources within
one process through suitable iODBC drivers.
.
This package contains the library files. Look for the iodbc package, too!
