[gentoo-dev] mysql-bin ebuild

[gentoo-dev] mysql-bin ebuild

[Francesco Riosa]

After some testing on MySQL ebuild for version 4.1.x and 5.0.x appear to 
me that is very difficult have a stable version of those databases with 
current glibc, gcc and maybe os-headers stable defaults (at least on x86 
and amd64).

Adding a dev-db/mysql-bin package seems the only short-term viable 
solution to have those versions of mysql in portage tree. Leaving out 
all the problems that dependant packages have after mysql 4.1.3 release.

I'm going to writing an ebuild that (maybe using alternatives.eclass) 
unpack the binary distribuited version of mysql in /opt/ dir and symlink 
all the programs to paths currently used from the source dist.

any input on how to write it in a way that permit it to be included in 
the portage tree very apreciated, expecially that from Robin H. Johnson 
a.k.a robbat2

ciao
Francesco

I'd say it should be mutually exclusive of the source-built version
(DEPEND=!dev-db/mysql).  See about putting it's bindir into the PATH
instead of messing around with symlinks. However I think it should use
the same /var/lib/mysql for it's data directory.

By default it should provide the stock binaries, if USE=max, then
provide the mysql-max binaries, and if USE=debug, instead provide the
debugging binaries.

What is broken w/ the current stable glibc & gcc?

Really?? I dont see this.. Please tell me and I will talk to the mysql Dev's 
to figure this out.. They have relayed nothing of this.. Unless your talking 
gcc-3.4 or something.

Why are we the only people having problems with this release? Help me 
understand this so we can get this figured out.

The compiled sources from have problems with both ssl and ndbcluster, 
logs at [1], description of at [2], running the mysql bundled tests show 
various problems, from segfaults to hanging.
On the same systems, running the MySQL compiled sources goes well.
Saying that the problem is given from glibc, gcc and os-headers may be a 
limited point of view, because MySQL server and libraryes link against 
zlib, ncurses, readline, tcpwrappers, openssl too.
Anyway it's motived from bugs at [3] and seems to be not limited to 4.1 
and 5.0 series that I've tested.
The problems seems limited to the server because running a binary 
version from MySQL and connecting from a client built from my ebuilds 
goes fine.

I hope that Jeff Smelser is right saying that it's only a problem of 
mine, if so the need of a mysql-bin ebuild is drastically reduced ;)

Jeff have you logged the output of
FEATURES="maketest" emerge mysql
and grepped it with
grep --color --regexp="\(\[ fail \]\|\[ pass \]\|\[ skipped \]\)"
?
Currently the function src_test() that run the MySQL tests have a forced 
"OK" result, since it is still in a beta stage.

grepping the results may show if there are failed tests.

... and if you are not using strange new stuff like ndb_cluster, don't 
worry, I'm using it as a production system from more than one year now 
;) only be sure to thest it very well before going to use it.

Cheers Francesco

Well, i did find the bug, and the dev I talked to said he knows about it and 
is being pushed for next release. 

Here is his reply:

Fixed in 4.1.11 and 5.0.3 as far as I can see in the source (renamed to 
internal_*)

tomorrow morning I'll run an update to the bk sources and try again, for 
both 4.1 and 5.0, the ebuilds should be out at 16:00 CET time.

Since I'm impatient by nature ;)  I've tryed a fresh stage3 - amd64 - 
2004.3 [1] with no upgrade at all except for texinfo and libtools + 
dependancies.
All is gone straight and clean [2]. for the amd64 stuff I still need to 
upgrade to the latest stable version of the packages at [3], a work for 
tomorrow, the one with a "+" in front will be updated one by one and a 
compile/test of the mysql will be done between, so don't expect results 
too soon :( .
btw I'm thinked about the binary version of mysql in portage, it seem a 
good thing IMHO anyway, it's an alternative choice, and this may only be 
good (user side speaking;)

btw USE="extraengine" will give you the federated-storage-engine 
requested in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69846#c9 ... or at 
least it should for 5.0.3_alpha ebuild

5.0.3 was giving me major issues so i am still on 5.0.2..  No clients could 
connect to it other than mysql command line.. Big problem.. ;)

Hopefully 503 will be released soon..

If you're gonna do this, I imagine there are some things that depend on
mysql so you might be best off turning it into a virtual and blocking
the virtual.

Maybe after some time it has been in the tree keyworded "-*" (testing, 
testing, testing)?
Or it is a problem switch to virtual later ? Just to avoid modifing the 
source ebuild for the moment.

[gentoo-dev] -* v.s. package.mask

I hope I am not really hijacking the thread, but:

What's the policy for "-*" v.s. "package.mask"? '-*' is pretty annoying
in my opinion. Is "-*" for really, really bad ebuilds or something?

Don't know well about gentoo policy about that, in this case, since it's 
something completely new I suggest the "-*" like a request to be tested 
from a developer on every arch before leave it at user testing.
In every case we are speaking of a still non-existing stuff.

hat about adding ICC to the bin ebuild for fetching the intelcompiler binaries?

Analized but no platform to test it here, maybe later

-* is generally used to indicate that it's a binary package or something
similar which has no chance of working on archs that it's not keyworded
for. package.mask means maybe portable, but too broken for ~arch.

Like many things in Gentoo, there is no hard and fast policy.  The
general rule is that you use -* when you don't want *anyone*
accidentally installing the ebuild.  A good example would be a newer
version of glibc that could potentially do something very nasty if the
user didn't follow the directions.  In this case, you would p.mask it
*and* use -*, to keep people who happen to have "sys-libs/glibc" in
their p.unmask.  This forces the person want to test to manually
intervene to get the package, and ensures that people running the
package *want* to run the package.

You will also see -* in binary ebuilds, as it tells people that this
will *only* work on the platforms in KEYWORDS, like KEYWORDS="-* x86
amd64" would do.

- PATH & MANPATH added to /etc/env.d/98mysql
- include & lib both are simlynked, /etc/my.cnf too to avoid client 
problems.
