#19260: /opt/local/mysql path? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dweber@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: mysql | Port: mysql5 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Just curious, I wonder why macports installs mysql5 below /opt/local/lib rather than a similar default to /usr/local/mysql (perhaps /opt/local/mysql, as in /opt/local/apache2). {{{ /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin: comp_err* mysql_waitpid* innochecksum* mysql_zap* msql2mysql* mysqlaccess* my_print_defaults* mysqladmin* myisam_ftdump* mysqlbinlog* myisamchk* mysqlbug* myisamlog* mysqlcheck* myisampack* mysqld_multi* mysql* mysqld_safe* mysql_client_test* mysqldump* mysql_config* mysqldumpslow* mysql_convert_table_format* mysqlhotcopy* mysql_explain_log* mysqlimport* mysql_find_rows* mysqlshow* mysql_fix_extensions* mysqltest* mysql_fix_privilege_tables* mysqltestmanager* mysql_install_db* mysqltestmanager-pwgen* mysql_secure_installation* mysqltestmanagerc* mysql_setpermission* perror* mysql_tableinfo* replace* mysql_tzinfo_to_sql* resolve_stack_dump* mysql_upgrade* resolveip* mysql_upgrade_shell* /opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql: libdbug.a libmysqlclient_r.15.0.0.dylib* libheap.a libmysqlclient_r.15.dylib@ libmyisam.a libmysqlclient_r.a libmyisammrg.a libmysqlclient_r.dylib@ libmysqlclient.15.0.0.dylib* libmysqlclient_r.la* libmysqlclient.15.dylib@ libmystrings.a libmysqlclient.a libmysys.a libmysqlclient.dylib@ libvio.a libmysqlclient.la* }}} Take care, Darren PS, I figured a ticket would help document the rationale for this better than an email to macports-users. PPS, A similar rationale has been adopted for postgresql too, but not for apache2. I haven't found anything on this in the FAQ, so please point me to a manifesto, if it exists? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19260> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
