rename isql tool to isql-fb , fbsql , firebirdsql [CORE3534] #3891
Comments
Modified by: @mariuzComponent: ISQL [ 10003 ] |
Commented by: @aafemt For the same reason ODBC isql should be renamed to osql... Have you posed the ticket to ODBC tracker too? |
Commented by: @pmakowski isql is not the only collision packagers of each distro take care of that |
Commented by: @mariuz Well the problem is easy to fix on our side and it's easy to fix this conflict , at least on debian we renamed it from isql to isql-fb but long term solution is to have a consistent named console utility (brains expects fbsql or firebirdsql) Also we do have a conflict with TDS that includes isql utility |
Commented by: Sean Leyne (seanleyne) I do not recall any discussion about renaming isql to isql-fb! It is not appropriate for the port maintainers to rename any of the project files, without the express approval of the project admins. |
Commented by: @pmakowski Sean, please now, if you want to package under various distro, you're welcome |
Commented by: @mariuz There were many discussions in the past just one notice Debian and other distros must make small changes and symlinks so the files should not conflict when installed from packages ps: of we would wait for comitee many years would pass without doing nothing |
Commented by: Sean Leyne (seanleyne) Guys, let use clear language!!! Creating symlinks and *renaming* the binary are NOT the same thing! If it was clearly been outlined that the current distros maintainers have created symlinks to meet rules of the linux masters, then I would have been fine with that. (No, I didn't recall the mail thread from *2007*!!!) |
Commented by: @pmakowski Marius please stop That's a project and admin team decision, not in Foundation's hand |
Commented by: @mariuz Ok i stop , i missunderstood who votes on what (i thought that foundation will vote) |
Submitted by: @mariuz
on any type of linux firebird isql utility conflicts with the isql from odbc , the solution is the rename the utility to something more userfriendly
like firebirdsql or fbsql (for mysql the utility is mysql , for postgresql is psql ...)
Here is what usually happens on Linux sistems : Ubuntu
./run_full.sh
start test FB3_transition
