MySQL 4.1 release recently went from gamma status to stable - hooray! |
2 |
|
3 |
We're hoping to leverage 4.1 in a new project and would be very anxious |
4 |
to get ahold of a stable, supported ebuild. I've seen a few submissions |
5 |
on bugs.gentoo.org, and it looks like a 4.1.3 ebuild is available and |
6 |
proclaimed "stable", but of course not yet imported into Portage and not |
7 |
tested in the least (officially, anyway.) |
8 |
|
9 |
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on when we might see a |
10 |
4.1.x ebuild in Portage for MySQL. |
11 |
|
12 |
Another thing - MySQL's new cluster'd server technology (appropriately |
13 |
named MySQL Cluster) is available in the MySQL Max distribution. (For |
14 |
those who don't know, Max is basically the same thing as the standard |
15 |
MySQL server package, along with some not-quite-ready for common use |
16 |
functionality like the BDB table handler and such.) Now, MySQL-4.1.7 is |
17 |
available and the Max release has the Cluster components packaged in; |
18 |
has anything like the Max thing ever been available in Portage? It looks |
19 |
like the mysql ebuild is simply the standard Server package. Having a |
20 |
Max package would be nice in order to get ahold of the MySQL Cluster |
21 |
components. |
22 |
|
23 |
Anyway, just wondering status and hoping for discussion. |

(BTW: the MySQL Max version is not the same as the MaxDB, which is their |
26 |
SAP offering.) |
