I would say, the maintainer(s) should make the decision. Since the current combination of freetds/pyodbc/pymssql is definitely broken, I would say, either create dependencies of pyodbc and pymssql on the previous version of freetds (and downgrade freedts), or update pyodbc and pymssql to the current stable releases.
I personally prefer the latter option, since it fixes many UNICODE issues for pyodbc. However, it does require modifications in existing projects, when pymssql is used with freedts configuration references. Another solution would be to allow for both options, namely old and new freetds/pyodbc/pymssql packages. Should l create bug reports for pyodbc/pymssql also to expedite the process? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887374 Title: Update to a newer FreeTDS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetds/+bug/887374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
