STABILITY FIX:
Fixed double free'd pointer bug in mysql_change_user() handling, that
enabled a specially hacked version of MySQL client to crash mysqld.
Note, that one needs to login to the server by using a valid user
account to be able to exploit this bug.
this port on sparc.
- Set CXX=${CC} to get rid of libstdc++ in order to improve stability
under heavy load; From: FreeBSD.
- Build mysqld statically by default, enable InnoDB by default too.
- Replace max FLAVOR with bdb FLAVOR and only enable it on i386 for now
until it can be tested on other archs.
- Add comment to MySQL to indicate that this install of MySQL is from the
OpenBSD port/package.
- Add RUN_DEPENDS on p5-Msql-Mysql for some of the Perl-based MySQL
scripts.
- Set the mysql account to be apart of the daemon login class.

- The port has switched back to using native threads. Only tested and known to work on i386. For everything else the port is currently marked BROKEN until the appropriate architectures are tested. Do not even try this if you're not running -current libc_r.
- As suggested by Marc Espie, make symlink for the MySQL client library in lib/ to eliminate the need for adding lib/mysql to the shlib dir path. Porters have to be careful and ensure autoconf scripts do not arbitrarily enable MySQL support after this change.
- Also split the package into client and a server sub-package which
depends on the client portion. This allows for adding/removing the server
without needing to remove ports that might be dependent on the client
portion.
- innodb FLAVOR goes away and is replaced with the max FLAVOR like the
real MySQL distribution which gives us both Berkeley DB and InnoDB tables
for transaction support.
pkg_add back to back without needing to remove the DB_DIR first.
Now the install script just informs the user of the existing DB_DIR
and how to recreate from the default setup if they wish todo so.
- make sure MySQL is started as user mysql from safe_mysqld.sh script
instead of the example startup.sh
- hard coded /usr/local -> ${PREFIX} in MESSAGE
- use user/group commands instead of cat/adduser in INSTALL script
- ${FOO} -> $FOO in INSTALL/DEINSTALL
- fix mysql_install_db to pickup the hostname that's used while creating
the database
- add a missing brace for DB_DIR in INSTALL script
- run mysql_install_db as user mysql to make sure the database has proper
file permissions

- make the default database directory a bit easier to change with the
DB_DIR variable
- add warning about possible virtual memory limit exhaustion
- change default database directory to /var/mysql and chown it to the
user:group
- integrate check_old_version script into Makefile
- we should be able to make this into a full package now, though not
tested fully
- install user:group of mysql and make MySQL load as user mysql
