sparc mysql-5.5.20
 

Hello,

I had a successful emerge system on sparc following the excellent
guide on bootstrapping Solaris. *I ran into a recently reported issue
with debianutils not being on the mirors, but worked through it based
on the information in the issue report. *My next step was to take a
backup of course, and then I started thinking about emerging packages.

The first one I tried was mysql-5.5.20 (with minimal). *I encountered
two issues, only one of which I was able to work-around.

1) emerge failed with:

Can't create output directory for
${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/work/mysql-5.5.20_build/sql/share/ukrainian

The root cause of this was not anything ukrainian, but the fact that
${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/work/mysql-5.5.20_build/sql/share
did not exist. I created it manually during the emerge from a
different shell (not good, I know, just testing) and then I had a
successful build. I see output indicating [100%] Buiilt target
symlink_libmysqlclient_r.so Install the project...

2) emerge then fails during install, and with --debug I can see:

+ newins ${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/temp/my.cnf.ok my.cnf
-------------------------------------------------------
You should not use ${EPREFIX} with helpers.
--> ${EPREFIX}/etc/mysql
-------------------------------------------------------
* ERROR: dev-db/mysql-5.5.20 failed (install phase):
* newins failed

I intend to debug further, and I need to check more carefully on
Buzilla, but initially I did not see any reports on this. Any
suggestions, or indication that this is a localized problem as opposed
to a bug?

Thanks,
Scott

Been a while since I used Gentoo... and I am new to Gentoo Prefix.
I was in the Testing branch by default for some reason, because I had not configured make.conf otherwise. *
Long story short, explicitly configuring for the stable branch results in a clean build of*mysql-5.1.61 (sparc)

Now, on to openldap...

There is no concept of "stable" and "testing" in Gentoo Prefix. It is
all at the same visibility level.

Hi Scott,

Ok, good to hear!

Hmmm, odd.

This is a wrong ebuild/eclass. So don't waste your time on it. I'll
see if I can fix it now. Thanks.

There is no concept of "stable" and "testing" in Gentoo Prefix. It is

all at the same visibility level.

*Ah, ok. *I have some reading to do on terminology then. *Sounds like I'm confusing keyword masking.
When I did not set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf, I got*mysql-5.5.20. *When I set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" I also got*mysql-5.5.20. *Latest iteration, when I set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc" I got*mysql-5.1.56. *That's what I meant by testing/stable.

Oops. Full stop. "sparc" is NOT Gentoo Prefix, "sparc-solaris" is. You
best post your emerge --info now. You are bound for many more issues
with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=sparc.

*lol (at myself)
Let me go back and revisit with sparc-solaris then :-) *I'll post back if I have any challenges.
