I've been investigating the move to libgda 3.99.8 (4.0 API) for Fedora
11. The 4.0 API is apparently stable now, and based on the F-11
release timeframe, upstream does recommend it. There's also a growing
number of projects working with the 4.0 API already and I've received
a request for this for an Anjuta plugin
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479298).
There are currently 4 packages that depend on the 3.0 API: glom,
gnome-python2-extras, qof and gnumeric-plugins-extras. The port to 4.0
appears to be non-trivial
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/libgda-4.0/3.99/migration-2.html). We
can probably work out a patch for something like the gnumeric plugin,
but I don't know how much work would be required to port
gnome-python2-extras for example. Glom still uses the 3.0 API, but the
4.0 port is almost finished in SVN.
2 options here:
1. Wait for glom to release its 4.0 API port, ping upstream for other
dependencies or work on patches. Not yet clear how much work is
required for this.
2. Revive the compat-libgda package (currently a dead.package, we used
to have it for the 2.0 API when 2.99 was packaged) for the 3.0 API and
move libgda to 3.99. Would this require a new package review ?
Depends on if there is more then just a name change. Are libgda3 and
libgda4 parallel installable (including their -devel) without requiring
any hacks to libgda3 ? (We do not want to hack libgda4, as then we would
need to carry those hacks for a potential long time).
They are parallel-installable, the ABI suffix is used everywhere,
including on the /usr/bin executables.
