"MySQL server is not restarted properly after RPM upgrade"
The problem is that with the general spec file cleanup and
alignment we also did a name change, dropping the "-community"
part from the package file name.
As a result of this, RPM (some versions of it) will report
file conflicts, because it considers this name difference
to imply different packages.
To avoid this, the spec file explicitly "obsoletes" the old
packages (with "-community" in the file name).
Now, RPM will first install these packages and the remove the
old ones, and part of that removal is running the "%preun"
section which stops the server and uninstalls the service
(removes the symlinks to "/etc/init.d/mysql" from the run
level directories).
This stop/uninstall will affect the new server!
The fix is to define a "%triggerpostun" in this spec file
which will watch for removal of the "-community" server.
If this is done (as part of this install/upgrade), the
trigger code will re-install the service and restart the
server process.
In addition, the "sleep" calls after starting the server
have been cleaned up: Rather than doing 2* "sleep 2",
it is now 1 "sleep 5".
This is the fix for 5.5, where the behaviour on both installation
and upgrade is changed:
On installation, we do not start the server, to allow automated
installs (which happen in some indeterminate machine status).
If the server was stopped when the upgrade begins, we assume the
administrator is taking manual action, so we do not start the (new)
server at the end of the upgrade.
We still install the start/stop script, so it will be started on reboot.
support-files/mysql.spec.sh:
In the "pre" section of the spec file, check the server status, and write
the result to a file.
In the "post" section, evaluate the status file, and start the server if
it was running during status analysis.
In 5.5, we do *not* start the server if there is no status file (which will happen on first installation, when there is no data directory yet).
This is the fix for 5.1, where only the behaviour on upgrade is changed:
If the server was stopped when the upgrade begins, we assume the
administrator is taking manual action, so we do not start the (new)
server at the end of the upgrade.
We still install the start/stop script, so it will be started on reboot.
support-files/mysql.spec.sh:
In the "pre" section of the spec file, check the server status, and write
the result to a file.
In the "post" section, evaluate the status file, and start the server if
it was running during status analysis.
In 5.1, we start the server if there is no status file (which will happen
on first installation, when there is no data directory yet).
(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.
Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.
- Update/fix file layouts for each package type, add new types for
native package formats including deb, rpm and svr4.
- Build all plugins, including debug versions
- Update compiler flags to match current release
- Add missing @VAR@ expansions
- Install correct mysqclient library symlinks
- Fix icc/ia64 builds
- Fix install of libmysqld-debug
- Don't include mysql_embedded
- Remove unpackaged manual pages to avoid missing files warnings
- Don't install mtr's test suite
with other merges from the old distribution-specific spec file.
- update copyright notices
- remove __os_install_post override, it was only necessary as a
hack to build debuginfo packages - now that we no longer make
them we can revert to the distribution macro which likely has
other useful bits we might want
- remove _unpackaged_files_terminate_build override, we want to
know of any orphaned files
- include native distribution support
- no longer build separate debuginfo RPMs, instead just include
debug/symbols in all binaries, which is more useful for support
- include support for building commercial RPMs, requires a
commercial source tree
- remove cluster RPM support, we don't build them from this
source tree
- use CMake for building, and update package lists to match the
new install layout/files. Remove any options which were only
useful for automake builds (e.g. yassl/zlib).
- other minor cleanups
