[debian-mysql] Bug#508985: ITP: libmysqlcppconn-dev -- MySQL C++ Connectivity library

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Rene Engelhard <rene at debian.org>

* Package name    : libmysqlcppconn-dev
  Version         : 1.0.2 snapshot
  Upstream Author : MySQL AB, Sun Microsystems Inc.
* URL             : http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Connector_C++
* License         : GPL v2 with "FLOSS exception"
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : MySQL C++ Connectivity library

 MySQL Connector/C++ is a MySQL database connector for C++.
 .
 It mimics the JDBC 4.0 API.

OpenOffice.org will somewhen include a native driver for
MySQL - which uses mysqlcppconn - they already have experimental stuff
there.

MySQL people: I already did some work on it and have a preliminary package
of 1.0.2~2008121 here (yet without the shared lib as API still changes, we
also could wait till I upload it or just package the static lib - which
I think we should do anyway for now).

But should I "just" maintain it myself or shoudld I (imho better) put this
under pkg-mysql-maint?

Regards,

Rene
