Hi,

Would it be possible to update the libtool used when building the
release tarballs to something newer than 1.4.3? 1.4.3 is pretty old
(released 2002-10-22); the 1.5.x releases contain many improvements,
some that distributions (ie, Debian) need for their ports. Updating
this should be as easy as simply upgrading libtool on the system that is
used when running the bootstrap script.

It would be difficult. I have machines with newer libtools, but other
things are broken about them, such as doxygen. And for compatibility
reasons, I can't just upgrade libtools on the older machine I build the
source tarball on.

If you need to use the platform autotools, run the bootstrap script
instead of the configure script. Any parameters it does not understand,
it passes on the configure.

Ok. Well, I guess as long as you're aware that the libtool being used
is out of date. I can easily update the libtool stuff for debian
packages, but I was hoping to get it updated upstream so I wouldn't
potentially forget every time I packaged up a new release.

Is mysql++ going into Debian officially? This would be excellent.

Gentoo is the only distro to have it officially.... at least that I know of.
A quick search tells me they have 2.0.4 in portage already, as an unstable
ebuild, which is cool.

It has been in Debian for a while, but under a non-intuitive name:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mysql++.html

I'm not sure why the decision was made to call it libsqlplus (I assume
it was based on the sqlplus.hh header name). I've been itching to
rename it; if anyone has a better suggestion than libmysql++ or
libmysqlplusplus, let me know. I'm also considering libmysqlpp.

That was the shared library file's old name, through 1.7.9. I changed
it when I took over maintenance of MySQL++ last year.

We use names based on mysqlpp whenever the + signs aren't allowed for
some reason. For instance, some linkers don't like + signs in their
file names, so that's why we've standardized on "mysqlpp"-based
filenames. Where that isn't a problem, mysql++ is a more accruate base
name. But then again, it seems that Debian likes to name its packages
after the actual file names within, so you could choose to use
libmysqlpp to maintain that scheme.
