Title: MySQL packaging changes |

Display-If-Installed: virtual/mysql |

|
| 16 |
The upcoming versions of MySQL packages will see a change with the |
| 17 |
introduction of a new virtual, libmysqlclient and USE flag adjustments. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The existing virtual/mysql will represent the server (mysqld) and |
| 20 |
tools (mysqldump, mysql, mysqladmin, etc) while virtual/libmysqlclient |
| 21 |
will represent the mysql client shared and static libraries, e.g. |
| 22 |
libmysqlclient.so. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Ebuilds that only link the libraries may not pull in the server |
| 25 |
packages with this change in the future. Because of this, you may have |
| 26 |
to add a virtual/mysql or one of the providers; i.e. dev-db/mysql, |
| 27 |
dev-db/mariadb, or dev-db/percona-server; to your world file if you |
| 28 |
require a server to be installed locally. This will be phased in |
| 29 |
slowly as other packages are updated. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
As for the server packages themselves, the "minimal" USE is being |
| 32 |
replaced. The new USE flags are client-libs, server, and tools. |
| 33 |
The server and tools flags are on by default to signify the primary |
| 34 |
purpose of those builds. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The primary provider for libraries will be a new package |
| 37 |
dev-db/mysql-connector-c. Thorough testing did not turn up any |
| 38 |
issues, but packagers are permitted to block any provider of |
| 39 |
virtual/libmysqlclient that does not work correctly. Enabling the |
| 40 |
client-libs USE on a server package may be the necessary solution for |
| 41 |
the rare case of portage reporting a block on an incompatible provider. |
