Sorry. I was unclear. I don't want to actually bundle MySQL. I'm familiar with *that* discussion.
I want to #ifdef out the parts of the mysqli extension code that use features added by MySQL, AB into 4.1 tree *after* their packaged "alpha" release. Since the current version of mysqli uses these features, you can't download any of the pacakges off of MySQL.com and use them with PHP 5. That means you need to go through all the hoops I listed before in order to get MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5 to work together. Obviously, it was stupid to bother and #ifdef those functions out when we thought MySQL was going to release a second alpha version that we could point people to and tell them to download. However, since we're now moving faster than MySQL, I would like to be able to test the mysqli extension. I can't do that since I use Mac OS X and there's no bitkeeper for Mac OS X. (And because I need to upgrade 4 other packages, which I really don't want to do.) Or am I completely crazy and nobody else has this problem? Are people actually using mysqli with the MySQL 4.1 packages off of MySQL.com? If so, nevermind. However, this bug report (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24813) makes me think otherwise. -adam On Wed, 12 Nov 2003, Wez Furlong wrote: > That would be illegal. > > > If we're rushing to release, can we at least bundle a version of > > mysqli that can work with the 4.1-alpha download packages on > > MySQL.com? > > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
