Bug 92110 – PATCH: make bind ebuild to benefit from bind-mysql USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Martin Mokrejš 2005-05-10 06:15:22 UTC]

I believe this might be a possible "typo" in the ebuild. Currently, bind requires
you to have mysql installed, actually when you have the mysql USE flag.

I've switched to dev-db/mysql-bin but retain mysql in USE flags. No I cannot re-emerge bind. It seems the bind-mysql USE flag was invented just for this case
and I believe it's not used by mistake in the ebuild.

Created attachment 58556 [details, diff]
fix the ebuild

echo "dev-db/mysql-4.x.x" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

if you manage mysql outside of portage.

i've added mysql dependency for bind-mysql without ebuild bump
and Jakub is right - you should add mysql entry into packages.provided since there is no mysql-bin ebuild in portage

[Comment 4 Martin Mokrejš 2005-05-10 07:19:24 UTC]

Hmm, I used the mysql-bin experimental ebuild available in bugzilla #83424.

To be honest, I just lost the ebuild as I've remerged portage tree and was yesterday lazy to put it into /usr/local/portage/ ... so at the moment portage doesn't know about mysql-bin, yes.

But still I believe that when mysql-bin is released, the patch has to be applied anyway. Unless I miss the point of bind-mysql flag (but I've really just guessed what is the bind-mysql for).

[Comment 5 Konstantin Arkhipov (RETIRED) 2005-05-10 07:24:21 UTC]

bind-mysql is for mysql non-dlz support
just emerge sync and try to emerge bind

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-05-10 08:17:17 UTC]

Comment #4: Please, have a look at the ebuild and see what bind-mysql does. Or emerge gentoolkit:

# euse -i bind-mysql

local use flags (searching: bind-mysql)
************************************************************
[-    ] bind-mysql (net-dns/bind):
enables mysql support for bind (non-dlz)

please, reopen, if you think that problem is still exist
and thanks for your attention. :-)
