Title: MySQL client libraries and server packaging changes Author: Brian Evans <grkni...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2015-07-17 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: virtual/mysql First off, a new virtual is being introduced, virtual/libmysqlclient. virtual/mysql will represent the server (mysqld) and tools (mysqldump, mysql, mysqladmin, etc) while virtual/libmysqlclient will represent the mysql client shared and static libraries, libmysqlclient.so for example. Ebuilds that only link the libraries may not pull in the server packages with this change in the future. Because of this, you may have to add a virtual/mysql or one of the providers; i.e. dev-db/mysql, dev-db/mariadb, or dev-db/percona-server; to your world file if you require a server to be installed locally. This will be phased in slowly as other packages are updated. As for the server packages themselves, the minimal USE is being replaced. The new USE flags are client-libs, server, and tools. The server and tools flags are on by default to signify the primary purpose of those builds. The primary provider for libraries will be a new package dev-db/mysql-connector-c. Thorough testing did not turn up any issues, but packagers are permitted to block any provider of virtual/libmysqlclient that does not work correctly. Enabling the client-libs USE on a server package may be the necessary solution for the rare case of a block on an incompatible provider. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVqWLCAAoJENH3ge/59KO2/JkP+QGpz+M93Mn2C1EopzTG01WZ 66ELrIle/bkvVCtEdfhJXERUqMsyPr5sH6bn2aRC8x7XI7zZWgXBlVrvG4swO7Ul /2BBArnO0lv/ck5P8QHZTkZuT4W5zZzQP9ORjKel7p/1Cc96kAlgyFd33ACgtjuV O2zc1mjpKSFhRhybP7FdFsVCpo3PkSYyhmACMkXlbsBmeo8I2u94bzGzuEe5olpM DOhbwjkeyPix2EacP5pLWmUOIwy/mv+1i+a7sqmkIk54EPuDqDV4dBWQWqyccUl/ puKhnCMsqwzVVRRni5DKK2q4vXC6DdSsuRT0E6/9EVUfSwPyLijYZTI4TNvpB+bn iz8UWkMcuovOBubycxhvDnx2c5+dmMgh1ykIu7Uq04hCFscP2bHmeON8EJLl3YvA RoDbc2AvDZnAo9Jbln5YfopNvZGKG5Ya9GFA9Wi1tbR/TxaxQ5w+ussKCEKsIrVT fqqyQyqALH84G00+PKAf1fbvG0COCl+vjrXnWNnl6j2302VnF6c1esfM5BdCkML0 5BN1jisy8bcjD2b3q/iFFpS5y530y8w46pb8Ad2EOja72GsuzUxRlfWtxDSp35o1 xP7fH7FYMEuxraEM4Ej4nQU2YCUX/n5xA9DEmMebwA069QDHKaJvalR8lBi4O0lP VAJLLUEs4uITSjMveDvv =DC98 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
