Package: libxbsql-bin
Version: 0.11-5
Severity: normal
Consider the user who is downloading packages to take on a camping
trip.
Only after departure does he read deep down that
The XBSQL library is documented in HTML. Install the
libxbsql-dev package and browse /usr/share/doc/libxb-
sql-dev/doc/index.html.
Now he is stuck in the woods without documentation.
Please add libxbsql-dev to Recommends: or Suggests:.
Also in the package Description mention where you put the documentation.
Also on the xql man page we see "thedefinition" spell error.
By the way,
xql> show tables;
foxuser
optional
required
xql> desc optional;
xbsql: Error opening file
strace shows
open("./optional.dbf", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
meaning one cannot operate in readonly mode! One must make files chmod
+w before we can get much use out of xql!
And after we chmod,
read(3, "0\5\10\23\35\0\0\0\10\0020\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
write(2, "xbsql: File is not XBase\n", 25xbsql: File is not XBase
Well all I know is
dbfdump (1) - dump xBase DBF files as text
works fine on it, same with dbf2mysql.
