THIS IS A MASS FILING TO ALL PACKAGE WITH A DEPEND ON virtual/mysql As was announced on the gentoo-dev-announce mailing list[1], virtual/mysql is no longer viable to depend on providing the client libraries or the mysql_config tool. Most uses of DEPEND="virtual/mysql" (or conditionals based upon it) will not work in the future. If this package (optionally) depends on libmysqlclient.so* or mysql_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mysql-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package (optionally) depends on libmariadb.so* or mariadb_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mariadb-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package requires the server running locally, virtual/mysql is acceptible for RDEPEND and only in DEPEND when tests demand it. The rare exception when server only files are required at build time should you keep a compatible server listed. After 60 days, roughly mid-October 2018, remaining packages will be forcefully changed to mysql-connector-c with little or no testing. The server packages will drop their compatibility DEPEND shortly after. [1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/message/618f39bce863911d8955ee9f83636ca4
"mariadb? ( dev-db/mariadb-connector-c:=[mysqlcompat] )" is wrong. Please do not depend on this.
What exactly wrong? dev-db/mariadb-connector-c at all or dev-db/mariadb-connector-c with mysqlcompat?
(In reply to Victor Kustov from comment #2) > What exactly wrong? dev-db/mariadb-connector-c at all or > dev-db/mariadb-connector-c with mysqlcompat? Do not rely on the mysqlcompat USE flag. I'm debating on removing it for confusion and conflict purposes. If the package can link with libmariadb.so, using either mariadb.pc or mariadb_config for info, then dev-db/mariadb-connector-c is fine as a dependency.
OK, I just remove mariadb support till version 1.40.0.
