Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Heyho! As I've said in my previous bug report, I've installed mysql-server only because KDE depends on it (IIRC akonadi uses it somehow.) Sionce akonadi will start a local (as user, opposed to the normal system wide db) mysql instance by default, there are now presumably many people who have a mysql-server installed which is not used, but which starts at boot, eats memory, uses a bit CPU, makes boot and shutdown longer etc. Is it possible to somehow split mysql so that the part used by applications like KDE (who use it more like one would use sqlite or berkeleydb, really, but with the features of a real database) could be used in a dependency without having a system wide mysql daemon running idle? cheers - -- vbi - -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (800, 'stable'), (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (199, 'oldstable'), (60, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.605-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 MySQL database client library ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.1.37-2 MySQL database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.1.1-6 change and administer password and ii perl 5.10.0-19lenny2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii libhtml-template-p 2.9-1 HTML::Template : A module for usin Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 suggests: pn tinyca <none> (no description available) - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: get my key from http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481 iKcEARECAGcFAkq90+1gGmh0dHA6Ly9mb3J0eXR3by5jaC9sZWdhbC9ncGcvZW1h aWwuMjAwMjA4MjI/dmVyc2lvbj0xLjUmbWQ1c3VtPTVkZmY4NjhkMTE4NDMyNzYw NzFiMjVlYjcwMDZkYTNlAAoJEIukMYvlp/fW6j8AniDEM5lI2hMw7tTGpLwTb0gZ 0UWjAKDxg0IPl5Y0dMnBUztji35X/pWVfA== =2k9F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
