The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
VERSION:
Add top-level version file.
cmake/mysql_version.cmake:
Get version information from the top-level VERSION file.
Do not cache the version components (MAJOR_VERSION, etc).
Add MYSQL_RPM_VERSION as a replacement for MYSQL_U_SCORE_VERSION.
"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).
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
