mysql5 Portfile creates symlinks to nonexistent files

[marshall@…]

A recent change to the mysql5 Portfile modified this line:

    system "cd ${destroot}${prefix}/bin && ln -sf ../lib/${name}/bin/${f} ${f}5"

to:

    ln -sf ../lib/${name}/bin/${f}5

This changes the behavior so that the symlinks are pointing to e.g. /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin5, which doesn't exist (the actual binaries do not have the "5" at the end).

Thank you for reporting this. Fixed in r26746.

If you have the "bad" version of mysql5 installed, you can upgrade to the fixed version with

sudo port -ncuf upgrade mysql5

[con.verburg@…]

This doesn't seem to be fixed. I tried the suggested upgrade and also uninstalled/installed. In both cases, the symlinks are to filenames ending in 5 while the binaries themselves don't end in 5.

r26746 definitely should fix this issue. Wait 12 hours (to ensure the rsync server is updated), do a port sync, and try again. Also make sure you're not installing from an archive (uninstall, then reinstall with the -s switch).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I agree that r26746 definitely fixed the issue. I rebuilt mysql5 before applying the change, to confirm that the problem existed, I rebuilt mysql5 after applying the change, to confirm that it fixed the issue, and I rebuilt mysql5 just now to make sure nothing has changed since then. It is definitely fixed.

No need to wait 12 hours; first of all, the rsync server updates every half hour now, and secondly I committed that revision 3 days ago. So just sync your ports tree (or selfupdate if you're not at MacPorts 1.4.42) and force an update of mysql5.
