 Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:20 am Post subject: State of MySQL in Gentoo? |
 |
|
Hello folks,
I'm wondering, whats the current state of MySQL in Gentoo?
Current "GA" release is 5.1.39 but only older releases are available as beta (mysql-community).
No trace of MySQL-5.4.x or the like for testing. No idea either about how the new release model from mysql is coming along either.
Also there are some neat patchsets (percona, google, ourdelta ... ) out there and other storage engines (XtraDB ...).
Are there any plans to include stuff like that?
Whats planned for the mysql support in Gentoo?
If that question was answered anywhere already please point me to it.
Thanks,
thomas |

Most Portage ebuilds are only a few dozen lines long. The mysql ebuild and its supporting eclasses are collectively over one thousand lines long. So, it's one of those packages with a complicated--and perhaps non-standard--build process. My only point is that it appears to be nontrivial to release a new version in Gentoo, especially on major releases.

Which was rather the point, the only readily located public overlay which contains ebuilds for the packages in question does not contain any more recent ebuilds than tree. |

I didn't want to play down the work put in by the Gentoo maintainers. I was simply curious about the state of mysql in portage as the stable version is a bit oldish and the recent GA releases from mysql aren't even anywhere to be found in the tree. From reading the bugtracker comments I quoted its getting more clear to me why thats the way it is and that 5.1 will come in when its really stable.
Also the percona patches are included in the unstable mysql ebuilds in the tree so there is a way for that too.

Read through this bug and you will get an idea of the primary maintainer's position on MySQL builds:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/194561
Apparently, they don't pass the quality checks/testing done. However, I disagree in that these versions shouldn't even be added to the tree. They should, and ones that don't work should be masked or at least marked unstable. This way end users can test/use the latest versions at their own risk. This used to be what made Gentoo so great, the ability to use the bleeding edge/latest versions through keywords/unmasking. MySQL is in a rather poor state with regards to this.
Solution:
| Code: | | vi /etc/layman/layman.cfg |
add overlay: http://ftp.mars.arge.at/pub/overlay/geos_one-overlay.xml
| Code: | layman -L
layman -a go-mysql
echo "dev-db/mysql" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge -C virtual/mysql dev-db/mysql dev-db/mysql-init-scripts
emerge mysql |
Also, you should probably add go-mysql as an eclass override:
| Code: | # cat /etc/portage/repos.conf
[gentoo]
eclass-overrides = hardened-dev go-mysql |
EDIT: Added the unmerging of mysql-init-scripts. These need to come from the overlay if you want them to work with 5.1.x
EDIT: Removed manual fetch. Mirrors have the source now it appears.

| I didn't even notice that in my upgrade to -r2. It appears to still compile and run fine. I'd imagine it would need to be reported to the overlay maintainer, whose contact info I don't know. |

| Does this still work for someone? Just tried to install 5.1.41 but the emerge process bumps out while patching. |

| No. I have -r2 installed, but it wants to downgrade to 5.1.41 and fails on patching. -r2 has been removed from the repo and I'm not sure why. Does anybody know how to contact this overlay maintainer? |

So step up and help maintain mysql in portage.

The overlay was just updated with what appears to be 5.1.41-r1 which compiles successfully for me.

I would consider doing this, however as long as this overlay is maintained and usable, then all the ebuild work is done. Getting said work out of an overlay and into Portage unstable/masked is another issue altogether. |

Any news on 5.1 so far? Is it still that bad regarding mysql itself?

| It's in the tree. Unmasking 2010/02/08, as per the -dev mailing list. Be prepared to revdep-rebuild. |

I manually unmasked today. It wasn't that scary at all. Just two packages rebuilt and we were rolling again.

In my.cnf default-character-set=utf8, but there is no /usr/share/mysql/charsets/utf8.xml file, and maybe therefore akonadi in kde4.4 sometimes stop working with error
| Code: | Database error: Cannot open database.
Last driver error: "QMYSQL: Unable to connect"
Last database error: "Can't initialize character set utf8 (path: /usr/share/mysql/charsets/)" |
