Description Alexander M. Turek 2005-01-03 14:30:02 UTC

Because of a problem with the source distributions of MySQL 4.0.23 and 4.1.8, MySQL released revised versions of the packages.

The ChangeLog of both branches says:

Due to a libtool-related bug in the source distribution, the creation of shared libmysqlclient libraries was not possible (the resulting files were missing the .so file name extension). The file `ltmain.sh' was updated to fix this problem.

Regarding 4.0.23a, I simply had to rename "mysql-4.0.23.ebuild" to "mysql-4.0.23a.ebuild". I haven't tried on my MySQL 4.1 test machine yet, but it should work the same way.

I don't believe this affects us at all, as we re-generate the configure/libtool scripts in the ebuild as this is needed for some of our patches.
