As discussed in the recent thread starting at
<http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-January/024255.html>
"rpath / ... for extensions (and the case of PostgreSQL-SDBC)," it looks
like the two bugs
* <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45058> "postgresql-sdbc
doesn't work on LO 3.5RC1 win32"
* <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45090> "PostgreSQL-SDBC
fails to load on Unix / official binaries: missing libldap50.so"
(of which neither is currently attached to
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37361> "LibreOffice 3.5
most annoying bugs," however) can (only) be solved by changing the
postgresql-sdbc functionality from a bundled extension into a proper
(optional) part of LO.
The attached
0001-Changed-postgresql-sdbc-from-bundled-oxt-to-proper-o.patch (against
recent libreoffice-3-5) does just that. It builds fine on Linux and
produces installation sets that properly contain the various files for
the postgresql-sdbc functionality.
Whether the functionality actually works there however is not clear to
me, as I have no recipe how to test it. Also, it would need to be
checked that it also works on other platforms (esp. Windows, also
including whether the functionality is offered there correctly as an
optional component during installation).
Feel free to review for inclusion in LO 3.5. (I can do the actual push
in case enough reviewers approve.)
