[gentoo-dev] my apologies for the mess with this release of MySQL 5.0.16

[Francesco R.]

my apologies for the mess with this release of MySQL 5.0.16 and for the 
one will come with the dev-db/mysql-4.1.15-r1 ebuild

Here is the relevant list of bugs opened (and closed) as a consequence 
of the new ebuild.

[Bug 113451] mysql-4.1.15 re-keyworded as -* with no note in changelog 
as to why
[Bug 113440] typo in mysql-5.0.16-r2 init script
[Bug 113356] /etc/init.d/mysql script fails to start server in 
mysql-5.0.16
[Bug 113352] mysql-5.0.16-r1 does not 
create /usr/lib{64}/libmysqlclient.so.15 symlink
[Bug 113334] mysql MD5 mysql-extras-20050920.tar.bz2 VERIFY FAILED! (old 
ebuild has correct value)

If you installed 5.0.16, the 1st and don't want to re-emerge it, follow 
these steps:
(may need to adjust the path accordingly with ARCH and personal 
settings)

# emerge --sync
# cp /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-slot.rc6 /etc/init.d/mysql
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
# cd /usr/lib{64}
# for i in libmysqlclient.so libmysqlclient_r.so ; do \
 for j in "" .15 .15.0 .15.0.0 ; do \
  echo ln -s /usr/lib/${i}.15.0.0 ${i}${j} \
 ; done \
; done
# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld/

Francesco R.

ldconfig should have created these symlinks, unless something was wrong
with the .so.15.0.0.

Pretty please *don't* use ldconfig in ebuilds.

I'm confused.  MySQL 5 seems to have been available on ~amd64 for quite
sometime.  I've already converted my database files the the 5.x format.
Now all-of-the-sudden MySQL 5 is marked -amd64 so now I must downgrade.
Is this intentional?

read the changelog, it says:

   24 Nov 2005; Jory A. Pratt <anarchy@gentoo.org> mysql-5.0.15.ebuild,
   mysql-5.0.16-r3.ebuild:
   version 5 does not work on clean install

A very descriptive changelog... Any idea what "does not work" means? .
Seems to work pretty well here.

Is there a guide or something on how to downgrade from version 5 to 4?
I'm assuming that I can't just point 4 to my database files and expect
them to work.

Also why did it take so long to determine that 5 does not work?  I've
been running 5 on amd64 systems since 21 October without any issues and
now I have to figure out how I am going to downgrade.

Or you can just unmask it locally and stop whining.

Problem fixed, going to readd ~amd64 now, sync again in 30 min.

I think users have a valid reason to be concerned about this, but if
that is the developer's intention (to unmask it locally) then may I
suggest this information be provided somehow to the user?  Before now
the only information I got was it was masked because it doesn't work...
even though it has been working, at least for some users, for quite some
time.  I'm not trying to whine, just to get the what and whys.

It's really not the best idea to be using ~arch on a box with important data. 
And if you are going to be running ~arch, you should really know what it means 
to do so and how to use it properly. I recommend reading 
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=3&chap=3>. Of 
course, having done a gentoo install already, you should have already read 
through the entire handbook and thoroughly understood its contents :P

Ah, but that document does little to answer my specific question which,
due to the fact that some people can actually be constructive, has not
only been answered, but it seems the original issue has been resolved.
To those people I am thankful.

same here.
anyway, a "<dev-db/mysql-5" in /etc/portage/package.mask should do.
