Bug#329526: libdbd-sybase-perl / DBD::Sybase
Ah, clearly you have done *zero* testing with this package, because DBD-Sybase 1.09 fails to build at all with FreeTDS 0.82. I have not made intensiv testing but the following patch allows DBD-Sybase-1.09 to build. The mainstream maintainer don't seems to test with freetds libraries at all, since the last version able to build on debian is DBD-Sybase-1.04. For 1.05 an Experimental Bulk-Load Functionality was added, and since that time the build don't work if you don't have the Sybase SDK installed. The makefile try to disable the functionality if libblk.a is not found at builtime but don't do it correctly because the Header files delivered with freetds-dev don't have BLK_VERSION_120/125/150 correctly defined. The following proposed patch try to disable the Bulk-Load functionality correctly. Anyway the heuristic to look at libblk.a at built time is broken because as far as I anderstand it, new version of freetds is now having this functionality but don't have a libblk.a file. I will fill a bugreport upstream and try to have it tested... --- dbdimp.c2009-09-25 15:23:41.0 +0200 +++ dbdimp.c.orig 2009-09-25 17:50:28.0 +0200 @@ -772,7 +772,6 @@ if (retcode != CS_SUCCEED) croak(DBD::Sybase initialize: cs_ctx_alloc(%d) failed, cs_ver); -#if !defined(NO_BLK) #if defined(CS_VERSION_150) if(cs_ver == CS_VERSION_150) BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_150; @@ -789,7 +788,6 @@ if(cs_ver == CS_VERSION_110) BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_110; #endif -#endif if (cs_ver == CS_VERSION_100) BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_100; -- Bye, Raphael. -- Raphael Descamps Linux Hosting Backend Solutions Master of ShaHoLin and Cash Cow Milker 11 Internet AG phone://49.721.91374.0 Brauerstrasse 48 fax://49.721.91374.225 76135 Karlsruhe Amtsgericht Montabaur HRB 6484 * Vorstand: Henning Ahlert, Ralph Dommermuth, Matthias Ehrlich, Andreas Gauger, Thomas Gottschlich, Matthias Greve, Robert Hoffmann, Markus Huhn, Achim Weiss * Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Michael Scheeren -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#329526: libdbd-sybase-perl / DBD::Sybase
Hi:
Here is the CHANGES file entries for DBD-Sybase 1.09 down to the
current version, 1.00. There are various updates including fixes
involving memory leaks; it might even close some of the many other
outstanding bugs on the tracker (from over 6 years ago!)
Again, please, let us know how you would like to proceed from here.
It's your package and I really don't want to try to hijack it from
you, but the new versions have lots of changes that would be extremely
useful to incorporate in the libdbd-sybase-perl package for Debian
users.
If you are willing to upgrade your package (or give me some indication
of why you do not), or if you are willing to orphan the package under
the pkg-perl group -- any of those would be great. Please let me know
what next steps are.
Release 1.09
Behavior change: A new connection level attribute (syb_disconnect_in_child)
has been added to allow automatical handling of InactiveDestroy across
forks. By default in 1.09 a connection will NOT get closed if the process
ID of the process that is exiting is not the same as the PID of the
process that created the connection.
Detect ASE error 5702 (The server is terminating this process) as a fatal
error for the connection.
Bug Fixes
645 - Spurious COMMIT calls sent to the dataserver during the
login/connect calls.
628 - Increase size of Kerberos Principal string buffer
627 - Spurious sigset_t declaration.
Release 1.08
Detect missing libblk.a library, and disable the BLK api calls
if necessary.
Added code to force dlopen() to use RTLD_GLOBAL.
Corrected ct_option() functionality detection.
Fixed incorrect handling of bind_params() (Thanks to Tim Bunce).
Added serverType DSN parameter.
Added tds_keepalive DSN parameter.
Fixed incorrect handling of multiple result sets with DBI
1.53 and later.
Re-wrote $dbh-ping() in C, it's now four times faster.
Allow automated build without prompts.
Improved nsql().
Added corrected handling of DATE and TIME values (ASE 12.5.2 and later).
Added handling of UNSIGNED INT and BIGINT (ASE 15 and later).
Added PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT #define.
Bug Fixes
624 - Empty strings incorrectly passed as NULL.
616 - Spurious error message when the login request times out.
614 - Documentation improvement for syb_xxx methods.
610 - Segfault when using signals with the threaded libraries and
perl = 5.8.
Release 1.07
Changed the t/xblk.t test to lookup the charset used by the
server and specify this in the connect() string. This should
avoid failures when the client and server uses charsets of
different sizes (utf8 vs. iso_1, for example).
Better error reporting when the connection data is incorrect
for the test scripts.
Modified $dbh-ping() slightly.
Bug Fixes
604 - Add missing mode parameter to mkdir in t/xblob.t
606 - Memory leak in the BLK API.
Release 1.06
Fix off-by-one error for ISO date format.
Clear error/warning when connecting to a Replication Server.
Fix AutoCommit off behavior when CHAINED mode is turned off.
Fix $dbh-begin_work() behavior.
Note: This version fails 4 tests in t/xblk.t when building
against the 15.0 Beta OCS libraries.
Bug Fixes
582 - ISO date formatting off by one for months.
591 - NUM_OF_PARAMS isn't handled properly
593 - Connection can become unusable due a bug in
get_server_version().
597 - Prepared stored procs with placeholders return
corrupted recordset on second fetch.
599 - The call to prepare also executes the statement.
600 - $sth-finish sometimes fails to properly clean up the
handle.
Release 1.05
BEHAVIOR CHANGE - $dbh-{LongReadLen} must now be called
before $dbh-prepare(). Previously you could call this after
the $dbh-prepare() but before the $sth-execute().
Install private statement handle methods for TEXT/IMAGE handling
to avoid $h-func() calls, and update documentation.
Implement experimental BLK API via prepare/execute loop.
Change default AutoCommit off mode from explicit transactions
to using the chained mode if it is available.
Add $sth-syb_describe() call, taken from Sybase::CTlib's
ct_describe().
Add ISO8601 date/time format for output.
Fix $sth-finish() behavior when syb_flush_finish is turned on.
Changed do { } while($sth-{syb_more_results}); idiom to use
redo instead.
Better/more consistent handling of multiple sth on a single dbh,
and new test file.
Bugs Fixed:
580 - Binding binary/varbinary values to placeholders sometimes
fails.
575 - Fails

Steve: Please reply to this message to let me know what's going on, or release the updated version. Otherwise I'll assume you're MIA (even though I see you quite often on the mailing lists) and just release an NMU release. I'd prefer not to do that, though, and would like you to either orphan the package or upgrade it yourself. I've added a relevant bug report this time, which was filed 3 years ago by rafl for an upgrade. The bug is still open. Thanks in advance.

Well, how should we proceed? I would just like Debian to have an up to date Sybase driver. I am willing to help upgrade it and would love to adopt it under pkg-perl On 7/4/09, Steve Langasek vor...@debian.org wrote: On Sat, Jul 04, 2009 at 10:51:23AM -0400, Jonathan Yu wrote: Please reply to this message to let me know what's going on, or release the updated version.
