Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
my problem upgrading to mysql-4.1 is the downtime that I am going to get |
4 |
while the new build completes. |
5 |
|
6 |
That's why I was planning to build a binary package for mysql-4.1 on a |
7 |
second host in order to install it on my production server, but I could |
8 |
not find a list of common pitfalls to consider while building packages |
9 |
for a different host. These are the things that I can think of so far: |
10 |
|
11 |
- appropriate make.conf, CFLAGS etc. |
12 |
- right USE flags (or make.profile in general) |
13 |
- same version of libraries / dependencies to prevent dynamic linking of |
14 |
libraries that don't exist on target host (that's going to be a hard one) |
15 |
|
16 |
Is there a HowTo that lists all things to consider, or is it a |
17 |
generally discouraged thing to build packages for another host if the hosts |
18 |
are not 100% the same? |
19 |
|

Thanks a lot |
