[gentoo-server] apr-util dependencies

[A. Khattri]

Why does apr-util have a dependency on virtual/mysql?

I have a box running MySQL 4 that I dont want to upgrade to MySQL 5 but Id 
like to upgrade Apache.

It looks like this is only a dependency if you have the mysql use flag 
enabled for apr-util.  From the apr-util ebuild:

  if use mysql ; then
      cp "${DISTDIR}"/apr_dbd_mysql-r${DBD_MYSQL}.c 
          "${S}"/dbd/apr_dbd_mysql.c || die "could not copy mysql driver"
  fi


This is almost certainly the code to support the MySQL implementation 
of the "Apache SQL/Database Framework".

It might be that the later version is trying to pull it in. 
apr-util-1.2.10 and up definitely has a mysql USE flag.

Could it be this USE flag?

Sorry for the slow response.

You are correct, the new version has new database flags - switching them 
off in package.use removed MySQL as a dependency (of course, this server 
now has a LOT of updates due since its fallen behind a bit because of 
the apr-util update being blocked :-)


Thanks,
