Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-04-12 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libmysqlclient-lgpl Version : 3.23.56 Upstream Author : MySQL AB * URL : http://www.mysql.com/ * License : LGPL Description : LGPL-licensed client library for MySQL databases
This package contains a fork of the MySQL client library for use with software that is distributed under a GPL-incompatible license. Because it is based on an older, LGPL version of the official MySQL client library, it may lack features available in the MySQL 4.0 libs. If you are looking for a library for use in a GPL application, or in software which will not be distributed by Debian, you may prefer to use the official library from MySQL AB instead. Binary packages will initially be named libmysqlclient10 and libmysqlclient10-dev for compatibility with existing packages. It's been suggested that we host this library on alioth.debian.org, since this fork will require an official upstream home; the copyright file will be updated to reflect this if and when it happens. The initial upload will be little more than a copy of the old sources.
