[opensuse] Oracle support for PHP, perl and other apps
Hi, there's a thread on opensuse-buildservice about having support for oracle on php, perl, and other apps like tora, plus adding a quick solution for end users to build oracle-instantclient packages. Although Opensuse can't provide a binary package for oracle-instantclient because of legal issues (mostly involving countries banned by the USA government and redistribution of the client), we could still be able to build packages against it (like php, tora, perl-DBD-Oracle) and distribute them (pretty much like the Sun SDK is handled now on buildservice), plus adding a nosrc package so the end users can fix the dependencies quickly. Already sent a mail to oracle about the redistribution limitation, but as there's no answer (yet), this is the only workaround. Is there anyone interested?, if there's enough people needing this it could be a reality, would you like to comment?
