Description Anthony Gorecki 2005-05-30 22:22:38 UTC

This package was designed by the author to obsolete sys-libs/libnss-mysql (the same author created both programs); I've found it to be vastly more efficient, more scalable and much faster.

The ebuild was extracted from the fssos-users mailing list, where I found it in a contribution thread. I've since modified it for bug fixes and general sanity. This is tested and working on a production system.

Comment 3 Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-02 21:55:12 UTC

Sorry, the "need mysql" in the init script obviously needs to be enclosed within
a depend function. That must have been an older version of the script.

Comment 7 Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-14 21:07:23 UTC

The above files update the ebuild, fix the problem in comment #3, and include a
patch to bypass the shadow access restrictions for systems that don't use a
shadow-based authentication system.

Fixing OS field...

reconnect.patch

The mysql API changed in mysql-5.0.3 from automatically trying to reconnect and to not do this. Explicitly setting the reconnect flag after connect should ensurce compliance with earlier behavior.

I'll take a look soon at this to substiute an existing libnss-mysql install myself... :)
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Who know when nsvs will appear in portage tree?

Comment 14 Anton S. Ustyuzhanin 2006-11-12 05:32:53 UTC

may be better to place this ebuild to sys-auth category, like libnss-mysql?

nsvs-20070407 is in the tree, that's the latest CVS snapshot (I made that one myself). I tested it and it seems to compile and work on amd64 and x86.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
