ports/138469: [ PATCH ] databases/mysql51-{server|client} bad dependency

Obludarium
 

System: FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE
but exact OS version is not relevant

databases/mysql51-server/Makefile,v 1.252 2009/08/28 08:23:35

Please note - althougth such PR is dedicated to databases/mysql51-{server|client}
the MySQL 5.4 and MySQL 6.0 may be affected as well

--------- A -------------

The configure script try to detect ncurses/termcap libraries

On the virgin installation of FreeBSD the system's libncurses is used.

Unfortunatelly, when devel/ncurses present then it's
autodetected by configure. The mysql is linked against port's libncursesw
and libtinfow

Such dependency is not recorded. It cause problem when devel/ncurses
removed later or when installed elsewhere from package.

--------- B -------------
The port doesn't honor global option NOPORTDOCS

--------- C -------------
Starting from v5.1 when WITH_OPENSSL used, the port is compiled and
linked with YASSL instead of OpenSSL.
MySQL 5.9 and older is linked against OpenSSL when WITH_OPENSSL used

OpenSSL based client can't connect to YASSL based server and vice-versa

Changed behavior make problem in mixed 5.0/5.1 environment
(especially MASTER v5.0 with one or more SLAVE v5.1)

--------- A -------------
Install devel/ncurses
Compile & install databases/mysql51-client
Uninstall devel/ncurses

Try to run 'mysql' (missing libncursesw.so.5.7)

--------- B -------------
Compile & install with -DNOPORTDOCS

Documentation still compilled & installed

--------- C -------------
Compile databases/mysql50-server and databases/mysql51-server
Both compilation -DWITH_OPENSSL

Install MySQL 5.0 on two machines, configure MASTER-SLAVE replication
using SSL. When you have working environment upgrade the MASTER to 5.1
SLAVE can no longer connect to MASTER because YASSL/ssl and OPENSSL/ssl
are not fully interoperable

--------- A -------------
As the system libraries are sufficient, we can skip the
auto-configure logic and force use of base-system libraries:
--with-named-curses-libs=-ltermcap
--------- B -------------
Use --without-doc when necesarry
--------- C -------------
Restore the pre-5.1 behavior, please: WITH_OPENSSL compile against
OpenSSL. Use WITH_YASSL when YASSL requested.

Why:	Even in base system it should be compiled against libncursew. Please propose a better patch.

I missed there is /lib/libncursesw.so.7 also Unfortunately, I don't know how to affect preferences when both /lib/libncursesw.so.7 and /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.5.7 exists I can remove the detection from 'configure' replacing it with fixed values, but it help with libtinfow only, not with libncursesw ... Critical is linking time, not the configure time. I don't know how to force gcc with -lncursesw to link library from specific directory only. It's not possible to remove /usr/local/lib from -L path because we need other libraries from them. I'm sorry ... Dan
