[git-cvsserver and trouble with Perl DBI and SQLite]
Actually, just looking at my etch dev box, libdbd-sqlite-perl is
0.29-1 and sqlite is 2.8.16-1. Not sure if the difference is
significant. Perhaps SQLite v3 has a different invocation / driver
name?
Yes, SQLite v2 and SQLite v3 are different and binary incompatible.
However, on Debian 'etch' you can install packages for both versions
concurrently; most packages for SQLite have either a '2' or a '3' in the
name. Packages without the number use the "best current choice" which is
"3" in 'etch' at the moment but was "2" not too long ago.
So at this moment in Debian 'etch' SQLite3 is the default version and
calling
my $dsn = 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo';
will use the SQLite3 driver internally, for which you must have
installed the "libdbd-sqlite3-perl" package. Just for the record, if
you'd wanted the older SQLite2 version you would install the
"libdbd-sqlite2-perl" package and from Perl call "my $dsn =
'dbi:SQLite2:dbname=foo';".
I'd guess that you were unfortunate enough to just install some packages
during the transition and now some parts look for the "2" version
and other parts for the "3" version. Probably just installing the
"libdbd-sqlite3-perl" package and upgrading the other sqlite packages
(from synaptic say to easily find them!) will probably cure your situation.
Incidentally I'd guess that in itself SQLite2 (so version 2) would also
function perfectly well for git-cvsserver (as would PostgreSQL or
MySQL), it's probably in this case just a slight version skew between
packages!
Hi,
Thanks for all the help- I have it working now. It was not a fault with
git-cvsserver at all- more like my own stupidity. The problem was that I
had checked the versions on my client machine and forgotten to update
the cvs/git server! Once I updated it and installed the
libdbd-sqlite3-perl package (on the server) everything works as expected.
So, just to confirm, git-cvsserver is working on a debian
testing/unstable machine (acting cvs/git server) with the following
versions:
libdbd-sqlite3-perl (1.12-1)
libdbi-perl (1.51-2)
libsqlite3-0 (3.3.7-1)
perl (5.8.8-6.1)
perl-base (5.8.8-6.1)
Apologies for wasting your time, looks like my caffeine levels are
getting dangerously low...
