• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Taras Onishchuk 2012-11-16 13:14:17 UTC]

Package used: ysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.44-src.tar.gz (but applicable to previous versions too).
System: Linux host 3.4.9-gentoo #2 SMP Wed Oct 24 09:14:44 EEST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D510 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
X env: KDE

Once the workbench is built and launched, one can go to
Plugins -> Start shell for MySQL utilities

When new terminal is open, it's expected to see list of installed utilities:

These are included into the package (I was able to find the python installer) but are not installed into the system and don't appear in the terminal opened.

I managed to get them working by manually installing the tools but they never got into the shell opened. The last attempt was to have the tools installed in the way they are in Ubuntu package:

python ./setup.py install --home=/usr/share/mysql-workbench/python --install-purelib=/usr/share/mysql-workbench/python/ --install-scripts=/usr/share/mysql-workbench/python

The above line was run against setup.py in the directories (these were extracted from the package):
mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.44-src/ext/connector-python
mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.44-src/ext/mysql-utilities

Again, the utilities are working, but the new terminal launched won't display these are available and they are not installed automatically.

I am not familiar with the specifics of installing python tools on Gentoo, specifically the support for multiple python versions. I probably won't have time for this bug either in the foreseeable future, so it would be great if someone could create patches for our ebuild to make this work properly.

[Comment 2 Hans de Graaff 2013-02-09 07:53:59 UTC]

At FOSDEM it was mentioned that the utilities will probably be distributed on their own at some point, so this should be a separate package.
