Bug 307641 – dev-db/mysql-5.1.* changes SSL library defaults compared to 5.0.*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2010-03-03 16:59:58 UTC]

The meaning of the option of --with-ssl changed from 5.0 to 5.1.

In 5.0, --with-ssl chose the system OpenSSL library over the yaSSL:
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff737ff000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9a32625000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f9a3240f000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9a3220b000)
        libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x00007f9a31fba000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x00007f9a31c30000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f9a319f8000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007f9a317e0000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f9a314d6000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9a31253000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f9a3103c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9a30ce3000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9a32841000)

With 5.1, the option default changed per the URL 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html.

Now, --with-ssl would choose the bundled yaSSL and --with-ssl=/usr (for Gentoo) will choose the system OpenSSL library.

Reproducible: Always

Fixed in the eclass, not throwing out a new revision yet as I've got some other upcoming changes that will need one.

[Comment 2 Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2010-03-04 17:51:58 UTC]

Not fixed in the eclass..

The change was made to configure_40_41_50() which now lists:
if mysql_version_is_at_least "5.1.11" ; then
     myconf="${myconf} $(use_with ssl /usr)"
else
     myconf="${myconf} $(use_with ssl openssl)"
fi

However, this is never checked according to mysql_src_configure (lines 759-763)
if mysql_version_is_at_least "5.1.10" ; then
     configure_51
else
     configure_40_41_50
fi

The variable should be fixed in configure_51 instead, and possibly remove the confusing lines from configure_40_41_50.

[Comment 3 Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2010-03-04 21:59:43 UTC]

In addition..
$(use_with ssl /usr) becomes "--with-/usr" instead of "--with-ssl=/usr" when it is used by an ebuild (tested in personal overlay).

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2010-03-09 20:38:14 UTC]

Fixed better now.
