Hi Thomas, thanks for the heads up. I was not aware that libdbi is eligible for being kicked out of Debian. I'm pretty sure the other maintainers aren't either, so I've cc'ed the developers list too.
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to maintain the Debian packages myself as I do not run Debian on any of my boxes currently. I'm afraid that none of the other developers runs Debian either (if you do, please speak up now!). I'd greatly appreciate if you could lend us a hand in keeping libdbi in Debian. I've checked the status of the package. It is badly outdated as we've switched to 0.8.x eons ago. Moreover it lists David Parker as package maintainer. He is one of the original developers of libdbi but he has been inactive for several years now. I believe we need to find a different maintainer for libdbi0 and the driver packages. Let me know if you need further input from my end, or if I have to actively do something from my end in order to update the packages and keep them in Debian. regards, Markus Quoting Thomas Goirand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > > I am a Debian maintainer, and I did a Debian package for > libapache-mod-log-sql, as you can see here: > > http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Unfortunately, it has been asked to me to remove the build of the > libapache2-mod-log-sql-dbi as there are many unsolved problems in the > current Debian libdbi package, and that maybe the libdbi package will be > removed from Debian. > > First, are you aware of that?
