https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D194305 --- Comment #15 from Markus Kohlmeyer <rootservice@gmail.com> --- (In reply to MMacD from comment #14) I don't know when and who decided to put the MySQL-Databases in /var/db/mys= ql but it was before MySQL 5.0 entered the portstree, so it was more then deca= de in the past, probably back to times when MySQL 3.23 was current, i don't kn= ow. What i know is, that it is absolutly no problem to fix it at least for new installs, but as we have seen with the change of my.cnf location for the My= SQL 5.7.12 port, it will give problems with existing installs and admins who us= ed to use /var/db/mysql and/or rc.conf for years. Additional there seems to be= a problem with binary-packages/pkg while updating from MySQL < 5.7.12 caused = by the my.cnf changes (as i don't use binary-packages/pkg i can't confirm that myself, but there exists a bugreport/comment). Personally i would be glad to get this completely fixed for new installs and "good admins" aka admins who read ports/UPDATING and pkg-message, but this = type of forced and agressive changes are against FreeBSD policys for some good reasons. I could provide these patches for MySQL 5.6 and 5.7 in the next days, but a= s i said, they will probably not be committed as they will break FreeBSD policy= by breaking existing expected behavior for existing installs. Without manual w= ork by admins of existing installs, there will be incompatibilities up to non-working installs and if all goes wrong there is even a (realy) small possiblity of dataloss. So, i can't and i don't want to decide anything here, but if the maintainers and portsteam decide to do this changes anyway, then i'm glad to provide patches at least for MySQL 5.6/5.7 which can easy be ported to MariaDB and Percona. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
