If the extension is unmaintained (meaning that the user who was maintaining it does no longer have an account on the Extensions site) then it is confusing to users to have the unmaintained version and your patched one available. Sorry that I haven't reported this earlier. I remember that I've maintained this webpage. Of course not as the developer but as (kind of) liaison officer between OOo community and Sun/Oracle. And yes, I don't have access to it anymore, so I cannot change it myself. I agree with Andrea that it's better to continue the already (and wrt the stats very popular!) webpage than to have two with the same purpose. It occurred already a couple times that I had to explicitly point users to your patched version and that they solved their problems with it. So it surely deserves better exposure. Week: 795 | Month: 3,850 | Year: 45,050 If you don't host your version on extensions.openoffice.org, it will always be shadowed by this (buggy) one, because downloads won't be tracked. So, seeing this as a user, the best solutions I can imagine are: 1) Take over http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/mysql_connector ; old releases are archived, available and credited appropriately; nothing new will happen there since no users can update the page. +1 2) Keep both projects, but state clearly on the older one that it is abandoned and that bugfixes and 3.4.x compatibility can be obtained in your version, and link to it. In this case, it would help if you hosted the packages on extensions.openoffice.org so that it can be shown in the most popular listing and gradually shadow the old one. But at the very least we should agree on a replacement text for the 3.4 compatibility notice at http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/mysql_connector and get it replaced. Marcus

How did you build it? Did you simply use the former code and build it within our normal build env? Or did you use a SDK env or a completely new one. Did you create a separate module or project?. I built it with the SDK environment, just like the Complex Toolbar Controls example in /sdk/examples/cpp/complextoolbarcontrols Of course, with some little tweaking: the SDK only uses Make and Zip, and as the extensions builds also the MySQL Connector/C and Connector/C++, you need to add some extra tools, including cmake, but I managed to use all these stuff with plain Makefile's and includes, à la SDK. This has the advantage that anyone, with a minimal building knowledge can set up the SDK environment and build the extension - at least in theory, I set up the Makefile to build only on Linux and Windows, but adapting a few things it may be buildable in other systems too. Example of external tools needed on Windows: # Unx utilities for Windows: # http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/files/latest/download # Extract external libraries # This tar does not understand -z, so we need zcat too TAR=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\tar.exe ZCAT=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\zcat.exe # patching the external libraries PATCH=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\patch.exe # get rid of echoing XML files CAT=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\cat.exe SED=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\sed.exe # we could use xcopy to copy recursively, but it sucks COPY=C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\cp.exe COPYRECURSIVE=$(COPY) -rf # MySQL Connector/C is built with CMake # http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html CMAKE=C:\cmake-2.8.9-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe First I though about using configure and cygwin, but this approach makes building the extension more easy: add these tools to a win.mk and simply install and set up the AOO SDK, and build the extension with it. Of course, in Linux developing is easier and straight forward; but on Windows the SDK user already has to search for a GNU Make, and these tools can be found on the same package (except for CMake, that can be downloaded in a zip, no need to install it). Well we had reasons to exclude it from our normal builds and I think it would be good to learn more about the way you have chosen to build it. I remember that we talked about solutions for some removed features that somebody could take the code and could create a mini project somewhere else to ensure that it can be built and used with future AOO version. Some stuff needs to be linked against no URE libraries, like the removed WordPerfect filter. I didn't look at the PDF Import extension, in theory an extension should only link against URE libs, but this might be not the case. Anyway, it might be useful to take the Hybrid PDF stuff out of this extension and implement it in the main code, office-wide: it is a nice feature.

My own attempts at building the connector in the past for Mac and Linux have been fraught with pain, frustration and disappointment, i.e. the build took ages, and then the connector didn't work or at least, wasn't portable. I have the feeling they really didn't use the normal environment to build the extension. In the build environment the MySQL Connector/C comes as Deus ex Machina, it's not built, but the extension must include the three libraries (the uno component, the Connector/C and Connector/C++ - although they are not linked against each other, they are loaded at runtime). These are supposed to be universal builds, that is, run on every Windows version, and Linux distro (Linux base is CentOS 5 with glibc 2.5). Everyone is welcome to test if they work on their systems; by work I mean it does not crash, I didn't fix any of the existing issues, it was just a try-to-build-it (for now). A nice to have would be for Mac OSX too ;-) As I explained to Jürgen, you will only need the SDK + CMake to build it, so you will be able to play with it :) I'll let you know when I upload the code to Apache Extras.
