Bug 306377 – MySQL 5.1.43+ breaks Akonadi

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Jeff Mitchell 2010-02-22 15:32:07 UTC]

MySQL 5.1 just got unmasked in tree. However, versions 5.1.43+ have changes that break KDE's Akonadi component. This is a request to either re-add the mask for 5.1.44 until upstream fixes it or add the patch provided in the various bug reports referenced below.

Please see:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569549
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566547

There were also already issues reported with this version, causing both Amarok and grass to fail. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306315

Reproducible: Always

We're already carrying the patch from Redhat in our 5.1.44. Did you check or actually test before filing this?

If you read the KDE bug tracker, you'd see I'd commented on it myself.

jeff/galt: I need somebody to help me test a new patch from upstream MySQL for the problem. Please find me on IRC.

I looked in the ebuild, didn't see patches in files/

But I don't really know how the mysql eclass works.

And I'm not running ~ so I didn't test  :-)

Sorry for the noise then. I don't suppose the other problems people reported with .44 are fixed?

You were looking at the wrong place.
Look at mysql-extras Gentoo git overlay.
You need to create a new tarball with the new patch (just look at the commit)
and change the ebuild to use the new tarball (MY_EXTRAS_VER).

Personally, I can't test it, as I don't have *any* KDE apps.

You can also grab the patch from the following link:

The easiest way to test it, is to just bring in the mysql overlay with layman, and emerge =dev-db/mysql-5.1.44-r1, which uses the latest bits in the mysql-extras repo (including the patch for testing).
