sqldeveloper-package (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=low Packages built with previous versions are NOT COMPATIBLE with the ones built with this version. The correct update path should be: - Download the same Oracle SQL Developer version as the one installed, from Oracle's download page - Build sqldeveloper-.deb package with make-sqldeveloper-package from version 0.5.0 or newer - Fully uninstall the previous sqldeveloper.deb package (user configurations will not be deleted) - Install sqldeveloper-.deb and, if it was created, libjnidispatch-_.deb Multiple versions can now coexist, "sqldeveloper.[upstream version]" will invoke a specific version of Oracle SQL Developer while "sqldeveloper" takes advantage of Debian's alternatives system and, when left in auto mode, will always invoke the highest version installed. Since SQL Developer v4.1, Oracle has started to include i386 and amd64 shared libraries in NetBeans Platform modules. make-sqldeveloper-package is now Multi-Arch compatible and will generate new packages libjnidispatch-_.deb that will recommend, and be recommended, by sqldeveloper-.deb. Oracle CLI for SQL Developer, a non-gui interface for scripting or headless control of Oracle SQL Developer is now accessible. Following the multiple versions coexistence concept, "sdcli.[upstream version]" and "sdcli" will behave as described above. Since SQL Developer v4.2, Oracle started to bundle Oracle SQL Developer Command-Line (SQLcl) with Oracle SQL Developer. When available, and as an alternative to the standalone package (see "sqlcl-package"), make-sqldeveloper-package will make it accessible. Since there is a name conflict with content of package "parallel", the upstream binary "sql" will be renamed, and following the above multiple versions coexistence concept, "sql.[upstream version].bundled" will invoke a specific SQLcl version while "sqlcl.bundled" takes advantage of Debian's alternatives system and, when left in auto mode, will always invoke the highest bundled version installed, and "sqlcl" (the recommended invocation) will invoke the highest version installed (either standalone or bundled, in this order). -- Lazarus Long Tue, 05 Dec 2017 00:05:00 +0000
