mysql5-devel: update to latest version

[kris-macports@…]

mysql5-devel is still at version 5.5.2 but I see on ​http://dev.mysql.com that the new milestone-3 release 5.5.5 is now out, to which this port should be updated.

Thanks for the reminder. I started working on this update a couple days ago but hit a problem with the post-destroot reinplace bits - it's reinplacing files which no longer exist in this new version. Will have to investigate.

a problem with the post-destroot reinplace bits

Make that the post-build reinplace bits. I think I can just remove them.

The bigger problem is that we're now using cmake, and we have to switch to using cmake syntax for specifying options. (They still have a configure script which on first glance appears to convert the old options into cmake syntax, but it misses many options we use, so it's easier to just switch to cmake fully.) I've got most of the options converted but a few I can't find cmake equivalents for. ​I've asked for help in the mysql forum. I'll attach my diff so far.

Any news on this? MySQL 5.5.8 is already the GA release and stable.

Should mysql5-devel be deleted and mysql5 updated to use 5.5?

[david@…]

Cc Me!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

No. The plan is for the port mysql5 to be renamed to mysql51, the port mysql5-devel to be renamed to mysql55, the port mysql50 to be created (#22251), for all three ports to be made non-conflicting (installing to separate locations), and for all ports using mysql5* to be updated to support this new layout. The thought of this is a little exhausting, though.

For the purpose of this ticket, it suffices to update the mysql5-devel port to the latest 5.5.x version. I posted my work in progress above; if anyone has further comments on that, please let me know.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Just a heads up. There is portfiles for 5.5.12 at ​http://github.com/zquestz/ports

[kris-macports@…]

Please note that 5.5 should by now be the mysql5 package, as it is RC for quite some time now. The mysql5-devel package should contain the 5.6 version of MySQL.

Thanks very much! I'll have a look.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

zquestz: thanks!

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Seems those portfiles were satisfactory? Any ETA on when this will be updated in the main repo?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I have not had a chance to look at them yet, but intend to very soon.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Sounds good, will keep my eyes open for updates.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Just a heads up, I also added percona ports to that repo. Last time I tried to submit a port it took months, can we get these added as well? If you don't want to maintain them, I can do that =)

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Quest, I'm building your percona ports.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Please create a new ticket for the percona ports. This ticket is about updating mysql5-devel.

Your mysql5-devel does build for me; I'm now checking if all the questions I had left in my previous patch above have been answered.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Very odd, I have had several users have no problems. What exact error you seeing ryandesign? I have built it successfully on multiple machines, and seen it installed successfully on several coworker laptops...

Also pixilla you have success with those percona ports?

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Lets use ticket #29499 to converse about percona.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to quest@…:

What exact error you seeing ryandesign?

I am not seeing any error. It builds fine. I have not yet tried to use it. In the old mysql5 autoconf build system, used in the mysql5 5.1.x port and the mysql5-devel port currently in the tree for version 5.5.2-m2, there are several configure arguments, patches and other port mechanics which are not present in your new port. In my patch above, I had commented these out, until I could definitively determine whether they were still needed, and if so, how to translate them to the new cmake build system now used in the current mysql5 5.5.x. If you have already made that determination for all or some of them, let me know.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

ryandesign, I looked at the older patches and they are no longer necessary with the new build system.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Been a while now... any word on this being updated?

[echosa@…]

Cc Me!

[echosa@…]

I'm curious about this as well. I ended up installing the DMG for 5.5.16 from mysql because of ​http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=55222 but I'll probably revert back to using the macports install once the version has been updated to at least 5.5.9.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Attaching portfiles that work to build 5.5.18 client and server. Hopefully they accept them. I have also submitted Percona ports of 5.5.x however it's been over 6 months and they still haven't accepted them. If you search, you can find portfiles for those as well.

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Actually here they are:

• #29499 (percona-devel)
• #29500 (percona-server-devel)

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Portfile for mysql-server-devel 5.5.18

[zquestz (Josh Ellithorpe)]

Updated mysql5-devel Portfile with mariadb conflict.

[austinmills@…]

Can we get this included? We've recently moved to percona 5.5 up at work and it would be nice to have all of our developers move to 5.5 via ports. It looks like it's been pending for quite a while...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #32653.

Bradley sent me a patch by email to update mysql5-devel, which I intend to evaluate and apply.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Bradley has committed his work as the mysql55 and mysql55-server ports in his tree in his users directory in r88414; thanks Bradley (although it would have been good if you had used "svn cp" to copy the existing mysql5-devel port, so that the history would have been preserved). The final mysql55 port will be the ultimate resolution of this ticket.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I'm closing this ticket given that mysql5-devel is declared obsolete. (I guess that nobody noticed this ticket when obsoleting the port.)
