[libdbi-devel] packaging libdbi, libdbi-drivers for Cygwin

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi,

I'm currently fiddling with libdbi and libdbi-drivers on Cygwin (a
Unix layer on top of Windows, for those not familiar with it). I've
added a couple of small fixes to the sources in order to get both
packages up and running on Cygwin. I'm planning to create binary
packages, but I've got a couple of questions:

- does anyone have objections against providing binary packages on SF?

- is it ok to release binary packages that are built from CVS instead
  of from the latest source release? Should we release the fixed
  sources first?

- the Cygwin libdbi-drivers package currently contains only the MySQL
  and PostgreSQL drivers. SQLite doesn't work yet on Cygwin due to
  some file locking stuff that is not supported yet. I don't know
  about the status of mSQL on Cygwin. Did anyone try?

Let me know what you think.

regards,
Markus
