I have in my local working dir an upgrade of the bundled mysqlcppconn
to latest "officially stable" version; it was my first shot at
fdo#42865.
Since I've done the work, I can as well push it; mysqlcppconn's
changelog (bugs fixed) suggests to me it is a good idea.
1) I wanted to first check whether we have a specific policy on when /
how / why we upgrade bundled externals to newer versions, and if
that policy tells I should not do it in the current situation.
2) The tarball downloaded from mysql.com unpacks into
mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0, not mysql-connector-cpp. Am I supposed
to "repackage" the tarball so that it unpacks into
mysql-connector-cpp or to change makefile.mk to adapt to the new
name? (FYI, in my local copy, I have changed makefile.mk to adapt
to the new name.)
3) I'm also removing from the patch the hunks that do
// hack around the non-existent ::boost::variant in OOo 3.1 build env
Since it has been in boost since 2002/2003, so our baseline
"minimal version supported" of boost should have it!
Our bundled boost (version 1.44) has boost::variant.
