Oracle support for PHP, perl and other apps

Hi, there's a thread on opensuse-buildservice about having
support for
oracle on php, perl, and other apps like tora, plus adding a
quick
solution for end users to build oracle-instantclient
packages.

Although Opensuse can't provide a binary package for
oracle-instantclient because of legal issues (mostly
involving
countries banned by the USA government and redistribution of
the
client), we could still be able to build packages against it
(like
php, tora, perl-DBD-Oracle) and distribute them (pretty much
like the
Sun SDK is handled now on buildservice), plus adding a nosrc
package
so the end users can fix the dependencies quickly.

Already sent a mail to oracle about the redistribution
limitation, but
as there's no answer (yet), this is the only workaround.

Is there anyone interested?, if there's enough people
needing this it
could be a reality, would you like to comment?

Regards,
Ciro

Agree, because SLES is "profesional" platform for
oracle and why not
precompile oracle in php without recompiliation in
difference with openSUSE.
