Hello people,
I've pushed packages of MySQL 5.6.12 to experimental:
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#mysql-5.6
3 points of interest:
* drop of Solaris 9 support
* use of stlport4
* libmysql name collision
Details:
It's built with a similar recipe to 5.5, with some adjustments where
needed, and still following cues from the offical build.
One major difference is that the build system now defaults to using
stlport4 on Solaris.
What that directly implies: I dropped Solaris 9 support, because
CSWstlport is not available there at the time. I've not looked if it's
possible to bring it, so anybody still interested should definitely
speak up.
That use of stlport also could imply binary incompatibility with builds
of C++ code not also using it (both GCC or Studio).
At this point, the only thing directly depending on libstlport.so.1 I've
noticed are plugin/validate_password.so and the execs in bin/ and sbin/,
so I'm reasonably certain it should not be a problem for libmysql things.
At this point, it's still added by the mysql_config script when building
against it, so keep that in mind. I will probably remove it in future
builds.
Another potential issue is that libmysqlclient*.so have the same name as
with 5.5. That's one main reason I've not pushed it to unstable. I'm
unsure how to handle the transition (I want to keep libmysql from 5.5
for the time being, at least until I've made sure the ones from 5.6 are
really compatible).
Cheers,
Laurent
