Hi!
Seems that an upstream change broke compatibility between
databases/p5-DBD-mysql and MariaDB :
DBD::mysql requires MySQL 8.x for building. Version reported by
mysql_config --version: 10.5.23 at ./Makefile.PL line 451, <PIPE> line
3.
Since I use MariaDB, I don't want to install mysql80-client
Use databases/p5-DBD-MariaDB.
It gets a little more complicated than explicitly using p5-DBD-MariaDB,
as all the ports listing p5-DBD-mysql as a dependency will fail to build
- in my case mail/opendmarc, security/amavisd-new, mail/spamassassin,
databases/mytop...
It also handles Unicode drastically differently -- more "correctly", yes,
but incompatibly with some existing stuff, including security/amavisd-new,
so it can require some code changes to mark binary fields as binary so
they aren't treated as malformed UTF-8 instead.
Perl somewhat randomly dumps core when I try to use DBD::MariaDB with
DBIx::Connector. I ended up going back to DBD::mysql for it.
It's not quite ready as a drop-in replacement.
