Version 4.2.1 of motion has been released: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/tag/release-4.2.1
The most recent release version is now 4.2.2: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/tag/release-4.2.2
The current version of motion contains important security improvements like - webcontrol_auth_method and stream_auth_method for digest authentication - webcontrol_tls and stream_tls to start SSL/TLS sessions It'd be great to have the version 4.2 available in Gentoo

Created attachment 633610 [details] files/init.d-r4 init.d file for ebuilds for motion-4.3.0 and motion-4.3.1
I have create ebuilds for motion version 4.3.0 and 4.3.1, also because version 4.2.2 did not compile with the mysql use flag. I have implemented a few changes in these ebuilds: 1) marked as unstable with ~amd64 and ~x86 keywords 2) removed the patch for ffmpeg-4.0 3) disabled the creation of the motion user from the ebuild because there is no reserved userid for motion 4) remove use depends init file on mysql and postgres when the use flags are not enabled. 5) simplified the conf.d and init.d files Please review and hopefully we can get these merged soon. Thanks.

In addition, I think the Motion configure script might still be broken regarding proper detection of MariaDB: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/issues/875 I originally tried organizing a revamp of the configure.ac file: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/issues/955 But I've lost interest in the project since I no longer use it daily. Perhaps you can ping them and see if the MariaDB detection bug is still occurring; if not then you can replace the mysql dependency with mariadb instead.
Created attachment 633662 [details] ebuild for motion 4.3.1 - updated for mysql/mariadb support Hi William, thanks for pointing this out. It turns out that motion now supports building with mysql and/or mariadb support. This ebuild is updated to set the dependencies to the specific client packages. Note that the database_type in /etc/motion.conf has to match with the USE flag, either mysql or mariadb. The motion documentation at https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#database_type does not list database_type mariadb yet though. If the use flag and the database do not match then motion crashes with signal 6/SIGABRT.

Thank you for taking the time to fix this. Submit your ebuild to the Gentoo Github repo as a Pull Request: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/ This will allow it to undergo some basic sanity checks by the bots. Make sure to add a Signed-off-by line in your commit message to indicate that you accept the Gentoo license agreement; also add a link to this bugzilla issue in that same commit message so the bot knows to automatically link to this page.
I think I have created the pull request, but it's the first time I have done that, so please check if everything is in order. Thanks.
