[needs-packaging] Ingres

[Peter Frost]

Ingres is a venerable DBMS which has been open-sourced under the GPL by its' parent company. Many institutions (including mine!) still use it, but Ingres themselves only supply RPMs and a tgz - a proper Ubuntu package would be handy, especially for people like me who wish to have the option of developing Ingres applications on an Ubuntu sandpit box.

The Community Products section (http://ingres.com/downloads/prod-comm-download.php) contains the GPL version of the main DBMS, and you'll note that there are python drivers etc. available as well (http://ingres.com/downloads/prod-download-drivers.php) - it would be great if these could be packaged too but they're not essential.

Thank you, I'm marking this as triaged, it will be proceeded by our motus.

I would also like to see Ingres 2006 packaged in Ubuntu and/or Debian as well as Python/PHP/Perl drivers.

If you need help packaging the dbms i can establish contact to Ingres European Technology Center, Germany.
