[Firebird-devel] Interclient 20 changes

[David J. <dav...@ea...>]

(sorry about the previous blank message)

Hi!

I have (I think) after waiting a week for CVS access and many struggles
with CVS contributed an ant build script and many changes to
DatabaseMetaData.

The ant build script can be used to build interclient, interserver (gcc) or
both. ( on linux, rh7).  You may need to adjust some directory specs to get
output where you want.  If you haven't tried ant, do so now.
(http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html)


The changes to DatabaseMetaData make getTables work reliably and make
methods taking wildcards in parameters accept escaped wildcards properly.

I can only build/test this on linux, I don't know if these changes break
windows/other os versions.  If you can test.. please do so.

CVS problem. 

I am having a big prblem with CVS, any advice/help would be greatly
appreciated.  I connect with ssh, and after every command it asks me for my
password.  After I enter it, cvs says

Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/d_jencks No such file or
directory

I think as a result of this I can only commit one file at a time.  Any
ideas?  I created a /home/users/d_jencks directory on my machine, it didn't
help ( my local username is david, not d_jencks)

**********

After the cvs problem is sorted out I will add my ant based sql tool that
can be used for regression testing.

Thanks
David Jencks
