well, I've added some new objects recently (GdaListener, GdaXml...), and
moved
some others (GdaError) to libgda-common. BTW, this reminds me that
Gdafield and
GdaServerField should also be merged in only one class, as I did with
GdaError/GdaServerError.

the 5th. In fact, I expect to have the final tarballs tonight or
tomorrow.

this sounds perfect to me.

perfect. But, as I said, I will leave this to Carlos :-), since I'm
flying on
Sunday and won't have time to do anything.

Also, Vivien, would it be possible that you made Mandrake RPMs for
gnome-db/libgda?
I suppose the same .spec files would work, so you'll just have to build
them.

Also, if you send the gASQL spec file to Carlos, I'm sure he'll send it
to Ismael, who
will make RH RPMs for libgda/gnome-db/gASQL. Carlos, can you do it?

cheers
