#31665: explain the difference between <db> and <db>-server ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: punk.kish@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by ryandesign@…): That's not actually correct. mysql5 is all the compiled software, including the client and the server. mysql5-server is merely a small amount of additional setup, including creating a user, creating a few directories, setting the ownership of those directories, and installing a launchd plist, to help you more easily run a mysql5 server. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31665#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
