I don't think we need this for libusermetrics? It seems to just be a build-dependency, not a run-time dependency (it only seems to use the headers, not the library)

[Pete Woods (pete-woods)]

I'm pretty sure it does use the library libqdjango-db0 (for the database abstraction layer).

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Ah yes, it does. Duh.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

So... qdjango is a database and a http server rolled into one source. Is there a reason that database was chosen? Seems like a curiously web-centric choice.

We could promote only the database side of things. But just checking if there isn't a more suitable library to use.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

(It seems fine packaging/bug wise though.)

[Pete Woods (pete-woods)]

Well it's two libraries in the same source package, and HTTP server (which we don't use) and a database ORM (which we do use). I looked through several options when implementing the infographics, and this ORM (which models itself after django) was clearly better than the other options. The upstream developer is extremely responsive, and I've worked with him on bug fixes and to resolve packaging problems in the past.

[Pete Woods (pete-woods)]

For some reason Qt itself doesn't include a good ORM, just a ODBC style database connector, so you would be forced to do all that unpleasant building of SQL strings manually.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

OK approved, but for safety's sake: archive admins, can you please only promote libqdjango-dev and libqdjango-db0? That's all we care about right now.

Err, I just noticed that the security team wanted to look at upstream on this. Though maybe that's for the still-in-universe http library. But until they comment here, I should go back to incomplete... though I know this already got promoted. My bad. :(

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

should it be assigned to security team then?

[Emily Ratliff (emilyr)]

The security team is ACKing this for 16.10.
