Sorry, completely unrealistic. I'm not willing to use unpackaged and AFAICT unreliable code. I've tried chasing and backporting unstable/CVS versions of libraries with another package and it really is not fun. I'm not going down that road again - I've already seen the number of API changes from the current Debian package to the unstable version and it just isn't worth the effort. The idea of porting unstable code from unreleased CVS into what is otherwise a stable library is plain daft. I wanted to release this module and package it for Debian within two weeks. It'll now wait until there is a compatible and *STABLE* libgda package in Debian - however long that takes. When gnome-db is ready to release a new stable package with a stable API, I'll revisit this section of my library. There are lots of other things to do whilst libgda gets it together. It would be really good if the libgda API was backwards compatible and there were more stable releases. Users really don't like trusting personal/financial data to unstable code and the lack of a stable API causes no end of problems for packages wanting to link to updated versions of libgda. I'll just go back to "lurking" mode. Shame though, it was looking good until this happened. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
