[gentoo-dev] mysql-4.1.12 call for testers

Ok, the MySQL-4.1 work is finally nearing completing (it doesn't eat my
data anymore, so now you get to see if it eats your data instead).

MySQL-4.1.12 is in the tree (hard-masked), and I would like lots of early testing.
MySQL-4.0.24-r2 is also in the tree (hard-masked) for testing, and contains
some of the improvements in the 4.1 ebuilds, like the new pkg_config, and the
updated init.d script.

Warnings:
This upgrade is going to be very rough (worse than OpenLDAP-2.2).
1. mysqldump everything to SQL (save this backup! going back to 4.0 is harder!)
2. write down your user permissions, and plaintext passwords if you know them.
3. move your old /var/lib/mysql out of the way.
4. emerge unmerge mysql
5. emerge =mysql-4.1*
6. revdep-rebuild as needed (might help to do libwww manually first).
7. ebuild mysql-4.1.12.ebuild config - very important, the main 'mysql' database has a lot of structural changes.
8. make a copy of your SQL from #1, and remove the 'mysql' database.
9. import the edited SQL
10. redo your user permissions.

Many thanks to Francesco Riosa <BastianBalthazarBux@pnpitalia.it> for his hard
work in dealing with MySQL-4.1. He's joining Gentoo soon as a new developer to
help maintain MySQL for the 4.1 and 5.0 series, and hopefully also providing a
package for the official MySQL AB binaries.

There are several supporting ebuilds in the tree as well, so that things can
compile with 4.1 as needed.
dev-db/myodbc-3.51.11
dev-perl/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219-r2
net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r3

I suspect that tetex may need the patch that libwww uses, as tetex bundles a
libwww source IIRC.

If 4.0.24-r2 works fine, I'd like to move it to ~arch on May 20, before I go on
my week-long vacation. If the 4.1 testing goes smoothly, it might be a
candidate for ~arch as soon as early June.

Great work! I used his 4.1.11 ebuild recently and everything seems to work
pretty well. I'll see if I can try the 4.1.12 ebuild soon. Upgrades within the
4.1.x series shouldn't be painful right?

Cheers,

Thanks to Robin before, he has guided me and solved issues that have
been there for month before.
That sayd, never ever "emerge sync" has been happier for me, and also
have the mail filled of closed bug reports isn't that bad ;)

To answer you Lance, yes upgrading from a version best than 4.1.4 should
be straight, with 4.1.0 .. 4.1.4 better consider to unload to be on the
safe side.

5.0 will come later on (once Francesco is a dev). If you want it now,
go and find Francesco's overlay.

No. If you want a client-only MySQL, you can do USE=minimal.

Hi,
Also using 4.1.11 (ebuild from Francesco) on x86-stable, works OK.
Will try out 4.1.12 soon.

Hi,

I'd be happy to give 4.1.x some testing on one of my servers - I'm
planning on reinstalling at some point in the near future (probably
this weekend). Is there anything specific that needs testing, or
should I just drop it in as a replacement for whatever version of 4.0
I'm running and see if it breaks anything?

Don't know if robbat2 need other testings but here it has been tested
only on x86, at the moment there are no other archs avaiable for testing.
On all the builds of theese latest months the most fragile stuff has
been use flag interaction and client library, so if you don't need say
geometry or cluster unset this use, because here it has been tested with
pratically all up.
Another thing that can need reviev is the support file that the ebuild
install (/usr/share/mysql) do you need something more, something different?

If ebuilds exist for PPC (there appears to be one for 4.1.8-r1) then
I'll be able to test it on that, assuming I manage to get Gentoo
successfully installed on my Powerbook this weekend. I'm afraid I
don't have any exotic hardware to test the other architecture builds
on.

Ah, I missed that some arches had ~arched 4.1.8-r1. I've added them to
the keywords for 4.1.12, so you should be able to try the latest ebuild
now.
