mariadb @5.5.68 checksum mismatch

[wvalenzuela (Waldo)]

Dear all,

I have an error with the qt5-mysql-plugin, when I add the dependence mariadb, it download /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mariadb/mariadb-5.5.68.tar.gz but there is and error architecture detection, I modified the error, but now it give me an error:checksum Checksum (size) mismatch for mariadb-5.5.68.tar.gz

How i can ignore the checksum error in macports with I run sudo port install qt5-mysql-plugin

Thanks for any help

Best,

Waldo

Just as a note, MariaDB 5.5 is end-of-life since 2020; ideally qt5-mysql-plugin should no longer offer it as a variant (likewise for MariaDB 10.1, MariaDB 10.2, and MySQL 5.6), or at least not use it by default. In the meantime, if you do not specifically require mariadb55 then I would suggest trying a different variant.

You don't want to ignore checksum errors. Checksums are in place to ensure that the file you received is the one we tested. If the checksums don't match, something bad has happened. See wiki:FAQ#checksums.

If I do

sudo port clean --all mariadb
sudo port patch mariadb

it works fine for me. The download is from a MacPorts' source code mirror, but that's fine.

That said, upstream has deprecated their tarball & so any download from a non-MacPorts server is bound to fail. Looks like we need to replace this port by something newer.
