Bug#334681: depends vs. reccomends

2006-07-26 Thread Sam Clegg
I'm afraid I have to agree here that there should be a GUI-free
dev package available.

I'm building DB applications against unixodbc on several headless
servers and have no need of GUI tools to end the .ini files.

Bug#334681: depends vs. reccomends

2006-06-20 Thread Remco Post
Hi Steve,

In the case where you strongly feel that these packages should be
installed these should (read must) be recommended packages as long as
their absence does not break unixodbc-dev. This is the case for the
dependencies on gtkodbcconfig0 and libodbcinstq1.

Apparently, your view of what people could use the unixodbc-dev package
for (developing unixodbc library applications) differs from what a _lot_
of people actually use it for (building these applications without ever
changing one line of code).
