CVS checkout for latest DBD::mysql

am 29.09.2003 22:13:49 von Dave Cash

Hello.

Apologizes in advance if this question has been answered--I searched
the archive and the web and didn't find where my specific concern
was addressed.

I see that column_info() support was added to DBD::mysql in version
2.9002, but that it had some problems regarding SQL_VARCHAR throwing
an error with column_info() was called. I see that this was
addressed by Rudy in 2.9003_1. However, this version appears only
to be available via CVS. I've tried to guess a few things but I
can't seem to checkout the latest version of DBD::mysql from
cvs.perl.org. After doing the login like this:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.perl.org:/cvs/public login

and got connected ok. However, attempts to checkout DBD::mysql
were not so successful. I tried these:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.perl.org:/cvs/public co DBD-mysql
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.perl.org:/cvs/public co modules/DBD-mysql

but neither worked. I got the following errors (for the second one
of the above):

cvs server: Updating modules/DBD-mysql
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/public/modules/DBD-mysql' (/cvs/public/modules/DBD-mysql/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/public/modules/DBD-mysql'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Do I need some sort of special access? Is there some other place
where I should be looking to checkout this latest revision of
DBD::mysql? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Dave

I don't think so, I don't remember any asking to check something out of
cvs.

2.9003_1 up on CPAN. I have a few more things that I neeed to address
before I send up 2.9003. I am on holiday this week, but I hope to find
some time to finish spinning up a release, but I finding time to be short,
alas (and wired connections scarce (CVS is using pserver not SSH :()).
If you can't get it off CPAN, email me and I will forward you a copy/ put
it up on my server, but I am pretty sure that CPAN is working.

Rudy,

Thanks for putting 2.9003_1 up on CPAN for me.

I still got the SQL_VARCHAR error. I looked in DBD/mysql.pm and
found the problem. The 'use DBI qw(:sql_types);' line was in the
wrong package. A patch is below.

Thanks for maintaining such a wonderfully useful module!

Take care,

Dave
