The following reply was made to PR ports/32223; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ernst de Haan <znerd@FreeBSD.org> To: Dave Glowacki <dglo@hyde.ssec.wisc.edu>, Kees Jan Koster <kjkoster@kjkoster.org> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, java@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/32223: Port databases/mysql-jdbc-mm is quite outdated Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 11:50:12 +0100 Dave, Kees Jan and all, Yeah, I think we should be careful before committing this port. IMHO we should allow people who use JDK 1.1.8 to use this port to install a JDBC 1 driver. If someone is currently using the MM JDBC driver with JDK 1.1.8, then when (s)he does a portupgrade, everything should continue to work. So the alternatives are as follows: * Create a new port mysql-jdbc-mm2 * Make sure that the mysql-jdbc-mm keeps working for JDBC 1 applications and that it supports JDBC 2 applications as well Ernst On Wednesday 28 November 2001 01:26, Dave Glowacki wrote: > Sorry for the LONG delay ... details below: > > Kees Jan Koster wrote: > > I have placed a possible patch up for download on my web server. > > > > http://www.kjkoster.org/download/mysql-jdbc-mm.diff > > > > The entire, patched port can be found at > > > > http://www.kjkoster.org/download/mysql-jdbc-mm.tgz > > > > The port does not actually build the driver, but simply installed > > the pre-built binary that comes in the distribution file.
