#20949: mysql5: mysql_upgrade5 expects 'mysql' instead of 'mysql5' ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: ora.et.labora@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: mysql5 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): No, we don't want symlinks in /opt/local/bin without the major version number; if we wanted the files in there without the major version number we'd just remove all the munging we do in the port to add the major version number in the first place. Presumably we want the major version number appended so that we can install multiple versions of MySQL simultaneously. Installing mysql4 and mysql5 is no longer very interesting since MySQL 4 is so old now, but installing MySQL 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 simultaneously is interesting and has already been requested a couple times. The mysql5 port should be renamed mysql51, a new mysql50 port should be created, the mysql5-devel port should be renamed mysql55, and they should all not conflict with one another and should install files with the appropriate suffixes. See #4115 and #22251. For this ticket, we want a solution that allows running mysql_upgrade5 to work. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20949#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
