Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308967, revision 9 Title: Allow Oracle InstantClient Packages - Buildservice: Unconfirmed + Buildservice: Rejected by (A_jaeger) + reject date: 2010-09-17 13:27:58 + reject reason: see comment Priority Requester: Important - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by (A_jaeger) + reject date: 2010-09-17 13:27:52 + reject reason: see comment Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ciro Iriarte (ciriarte) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: ENG: Include Oracle Instant Client in openSUSE or at least, allow for creation and store in Build Service. This was attempted before but all the work was lost because the files were deleted from OBS. The InstantClient can be redistributed and it doesn't require any license to be used, the only issue is that it doesn't include source code. This can be handled like Sun's Java or Adobe Acrobat. - Ref: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-08/msg00311.html) http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2007-Aug/0055.html) - ES: Incluir Oracle Instant Client en openSUSE o al menos (y los mas practico), permitir la creacion y almacenamiento de los paquetes en el OBS. Esto fue hecho anteriormente pero todo el trabajo fue perdido porque los archivos fueron eliminados del OBS. El InstantClient puede ser distribuido y no requiere licencia. Puede ser tratado como Java o Adobe Acrobat Use Case: ENG: Creation of dependent packages like php-oci, Perl DBD::Oracle or TOra ES: Creacion de paquetes dependientes como php-oci, Perl-DBD-Oracle o TOra, y asi tener conectividad a oracle desde CLI, Web y GUI. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To make easier the user's life, also this feature would be very attractive, providing Oracle connectivity from CLI, GUI, PHP and Perl out of the box, or at least really fast after adding the needed repository. Discussion: #1: Petr Vanek (subik) (2010-06-15 10:21:38) I am doing some oracle packages in my own repository/buildservice: download.yarpen.cz (http://download.yarpen.cz/) So maybe it can be just integrated into yast/obs... + #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-09-17 13:31:13) + We only include Open Source packages in OBS and very few exceptions. As + mentioned on the buildservice list, the license raises a couple of + questions that make it difficult to add it to OBS. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308967
