Today is a good day to end it all… sometimes.

openSUSE and SLE repositories for TOra and Oracle stuff

Have you ever asked: “how I can install TOra or Oracle client for my favourite language into my suse system?”

It was always a pain mainly due the brilliant Oracle licensing policy. Now it should be a little bit easier – just because I started special repositories with Oracle related packages.

Now it contains:

  • TOra, universal DB development/admin tool, stable version
  • TOra development snapshot
  • python-cx_Oracle, Python bindings to Oracle
  • php5-pecl-oci8, PHP binding to Oracle
  • misc packages required to build software mentioned above

Of course there can be more – I’m open to suggestions (and contributions too of course).

Please, follow the instruction on the main page of the project.
