https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198053 Bug ID: 198053 Summary: add port p5-DBD-mysql55 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: papowell@astart.com Created attachment 153545 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=153545&action=edit p5-DBD-mysql55.shar The default version of MySQL is now 5.6. The following note is in CHANGES: 20150204: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-(server|client) AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.5 to 5.6. If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.5 as the default version by adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep MySQL 5.5 as default version # DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql= 5.5 However, there really should be a port for p5-DBD-mysql55 to match p5-DBD-mysql51. This would make life simpler in that you would not need to update the make.conf file. (OK, it would make MY life a bit simpler.) Also, you could then have a package for p5-DBD-mysql55 on the FreeBSD repository. And this puts off the problem of having to convert all the scripts which use mysql -pPASS, and the problems of INSERT dying because you did not provide a default value for text fields, and now you have to specify mysql_mode=TRADITIONAL. Sigh. Attached is a SHAR archive for p5-DBD-mysql55. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
