APR-util 1.3, too, provides a DB driver for MySQL and currently,
it is using 5.0 client library. I guess even this should be changed to use
MySQL 5.1 .
I was wondering if the package names of the components like APR-util, PHP,
which provide drivers/extensions to the databases,
should include the database version info ?
e.g, SUNWapu13dbd-mysql51 , SUNWapu13dbd-pgsql83
SUNWphp52u-mysql51, SUNWphp52u-pgsql83
Or is it enough if the version information is provided in the package
description ?
Thanks,
Seema.
