Title: MySQL client libraries and server packaging changes |

News-Item-Format: 1.0 |

Display-If-Installed: virtual/mysql |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
First off, a new virtual is being introduced, virtual/libmysqlclient. |
| 16 |
virtual/mysql will represent the server (mysqld) and tools (mysqldump, |
| 17 |
mysql, mysqladmin, etc) while virtual/libmysqlclient will represent |
| 18 |
the mysql client shared and static libraries, libmysqlclient.so for |
| 19 |
example. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Ebuilds that only link the libraries may not pull in the server |
| 22 |
packages with this change in the future. Because of this, you may have |
| 23 |
to add a virtual/mysql or one of the providers; i.e. dev-db/mysql, |
| 24 |
dev-db/mariadb, or dev-db/percona-server; to your world file if you |
| 25 |
require a server to be installed locally. This will be phased in |
| 26 |
slowly as other packages are updated. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
As for the server packages themselves, the minimal USE is being |
| 29 |
replaced. The new USE flags are client-libs, server, and tools. |
| 30 |
The server and tools flags are on by default to signify the primary |
| 31 |
purpose of those builds. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The primary provider for libraries will be a new package |
| 34 |
dev-db/mysql-connector-c. Thorough testing did not turn up any |
| 35 |
issues, but packagers are permitted to block any provider of |
| 36 |
virtual/libmysqlclient that does not work correctly. Enabling the |
| 37 |
client-libs USE on a server package may be the necessary solution for |
| 38 |
the rare case of a block on an incompatible provider. |
