Since I'm retiring on 2006-01-08 I've spent some time trying |
| 2 |
to leave a more manageable situation for the other part of |
| 3 |
mysql-team. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The user visible changes are mostly that test should always work |
| 6 |
and for crazy 5.1 users a "pbxt" that enable build of an external |
| 7 |
storage engine. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Developer side stuff: |
| 10 |
- Patch are all included in a single tar ball, with an "000_index.txt" |
| 11 |
inside it used to chose what need to be applied and inform users |
| 12 |
of what the patch does. |
| 13 |
- Better support for bitkeeper snapshots. |
| 14 |
- Support for bitkeeper live builds. |
| 15 |
- Slotting on micro version to allow testing more versions at the |
| 16 |
same time. |
| 17 |
- /etc/{conf,init}.d/my* moved to sys-apps/mysql and shared by all |
| 18 |
dev-db/mysql* packages. |
| 19 |
- there some brain dumped, documentation that must be read |
| 20 |
cum granus salis and not trusted blindly here: |
| 21 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vivo/doc/mysql-eclass-guide.xml |
| 22 |
back upped here: |
| 23 |
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/mysql/browser/docs |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There are also versions of the eclass with "slotted" and "bitkeeper" |
| 26 |
code stripped to evaluate code complexity reduction if needed, since |
| 27 |
these are developer-only features those can be removed at any time. |

The changes will be in-tree in few hours |
| 33 |

BTW, I had a really great time with Gentoo and learned many things, |
| 36 |
so best wishes to all those who stay, and remember to have fun. |
