THIS IS A MASS FILING TO ALL PACKAGE WITH A DEPEND ON virtual/mysql As was announced on the gentoo-dev-announce mailing list[1], virtual/mysql is no longer viable to depend on providing the client libraries or the mysql_config tool. Most uses of DEPEND="virtual/mysql" (or conditionals based upon it) will not work in the future. If this package (optionally) depends on libmysqlclient.so* or mysql_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mysql-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package (optionally) depends on libmariadb.so* or mariadb_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mariadb-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package requires the server running locally, virtual/mysql is acceptible for RDEPEND and only in DEPEND when tests demand it. The rare exception when server only files are required at build time should you keep a compatible server listed. After 60 days, roughly mid-October 2018, remaining packages will be forcefully changed to mysql-connector-c with little or no testing. The server packages will drop their compatibility DEPEND shortly after. [1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/message/618f39bce863911d8955ee9f83636ca4

The ndoutils build system (m4/np_mysqlclient.m4) requires the mysql_config program at build time but doesn't require any of the other server files to be present Per bug 665954, I've replaced the virtual/mysql DEPEND with dev-db/mysql-connector-c. The mysql virtual is still used in RDEPEND because, as far as I know, either server is still supported at runtime regardless of the client library in use. In an unrelated change, two symlinks were made relative to please repoman. Their targets were also made executable, since otherwise you can't run them via the symlinks. Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/665954 Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.40, Repoman-2.3.9 ...utils-2.1.3.ebuild => ndoutils-2.1.3-r1.ebuild} | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
