Drop MySQL support? #4893

Closed sebastian closed 3 years ago

sebastian commented 3 years ago

The libmyodbc package we depend on for the ODBC drivers for MySQL and MariaDB were available in Debian Jessie (the old version which isn't supported anymore, and where other dependencies we actually need are missing), and might be available in the next as of yet unstable version of Debian.

My suggestion is to drop support for MariaDB and MySQL. We have no users of it and it should't affect Telefonica.

@fjab, what do you think?

fjab commented 3 years ago

Sure, I don't see why that would be a problem.

Assuming SecurelyShare or someone took over development, could they "reactivate" what we have now?

Yes, with some effort. It won't be straight forward, since otherwise we could just as well do it now.

fjab commented 3 years ago

Ok. Anyway, it's ok to drop support for MariaDB and MySQL.

@sebastian assigned you just to have an overview on what is being done because we can't merge PRs yet.

Great. This has also been done already in the open pull-request I am unable to merge: https://github.com/Aircloak/aircloak/pull/4891
