Hi all,
See attached the draft news item for MySQL/MariaDB dropping PBXT
support.
from the draft:
All users who have data stored in PBXT-backed tables should convert the
tables to another format before upgrading to MySQL/MariaDB 5.5, as the
tables will otherwise become inaccessible.
s/before/BEFORE/
it should be very visible.
Also, is it possible to halt the merge into filesystem if some PBXT
tables exists in ${MY_DATADIR}?
Not that I like it but maybe users prefer this to be forced to downgrade
after.
I would like to drop the blocks into the tree not later than June 3rd.
I think it should affect very few users, as PBXT was a niche feature.
This should clear us to get MySQL/MariaDB 5.5 into stable.
nice!

Will do.

I'll meet in the middle, and display a big warning if there are any .xt
files in MY_DATADIR. I will NOT halt the upgrade.

It is no longer built in the upstream MariaDB 5.5 binaries[2][3] and if it is enabled in a source build, it fails many tests [4]. In light of this, the MySQL team has decided to mask it in profiles/base/package.use.mask for all relevant packages. =dev-db/mysql-5.5 pbxt =dev-db/mysql-cluster-5.5 pbxt # overlay =dev-db/mariadb-5.5 pbxt =dev-db/mariadb-galera-5.5 pbxt # overlay =dev-db/percona-server-5.5 pbxt # overlay =dev-db/google-mysql-5.5 pbxt # overlay All users who have data stored in PBXT-backed tables should convert the tables to another format before upgrading to MySQL/MariaDB 5.5, as the tables will otherwise become inaccessible. We will continue to allow it to be built in the 5.0/5.1 series, to make the above data migration easy, but we strongly encourage all users to move their data out of the PBXT engine. 1. https://lists.launchpad.net/pbxt-discuss/msg00134.html 2. http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2012/05/25/mariadb-5-5-has-deprecated-pbxt 3. https://kb.askmonty.org/en/about-pbxt/ 4. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471616#c1 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
