Please notice that MySQL-5.0 has been erroneously unmasked for few hours but it will return under the package.mask cover at next rsync.
The MySQL herd is pleased to announce that Mysql 4.1 has been unmasked today and is now marked unstable. Hope that it's possible to stabilize it soon, here there is a upgrade path. .----------------------- | propedeutic readings: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-from-4-0.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/news-4-1-x.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/replication-upgrade-4-0.html .--------------- | Upgrade path: [[[ User with a old (<4.0.24 ??) mysql start from here ]]] quickpkg dev-db/mysql cmd# emerge -av --buildpkg =mysql-4.0.25-r2 cmd# ebuild \ /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.0.25-r2/mysql-4.0.25-r2.ebuild config # Insert some kind of data fex attached "backup_mysql_4.0.sql.gz" [[[ User with a recent version of mysql start from here ]]] cmd# mysqldump \ -uroot \ -p$PASSWORD \ -hlocalhost \ --all-databases \ --all \ --opt \ --allow-keywords \ --flush-logs \ --hex-blob \ --master-data \ --max_allowed_packet=16M \ --result-file=BACKUP_MYSQL_4.0.SQL # check the backup file, try one one load on a mysql-4.0 server cmd# /etc/init.d/mysql stop cmd# quickpkg dev-db/mysql cmd# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ [[[ Real upgrade start here ]]] cmd# emerge -C mysql cmd# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ /var/run/mysqld/ /var/log/mysql cmd# emerge -av --buildpkg =mysql-4.1.14 cmd# revdep-rebuild cmd# ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.1.14/mysql-4.1.14.ebuild config cmd# /etc/init.d/mysql start cmd# cat backup_mysql_4.0.sql \ | mysql \ -uroot \ -p$PASSWORD \ -hlocalhost \ --max_allowed_packet=16M cmd# mysql_fix_privilege_tables \ --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf \ --user=root \ --password=$PASSWORD cmd# /etc/init.d/mysql restart ------------------------------------------------------------ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
