The autotools-based build system has been superseded and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.
(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
and allow override for binary distributions. Extend mysql_config
to print compiled-in plugin location for third-party plugins to
use. Resolves bug#31736.
Ingo's patch:
WL#2936 - Falcon & MySQL plugin interface: server variables
Added initialization for plugin string variables with their
default values.
Added deallocation of string values before a plugin and its
variables is deleted.
Added examples to plugin_example
Added initialization for the plugin structure created in
plugin_add().
Made a correct argument vector in mysql_install_plugin():
handle_options() assumes that arg0 (program name) always exists.
Added missing DBUG_RETURN statements (in mysqldump.c)
Added missing enums
Fixed a lot of wrong DBUG_PRINT() statements, some of which could cause crashes
Removed usage of %lld and %p in printf strings as these are not portable or produces different results on different systems.
remove #define __attribute__(A) from plugin.h
increase API version because placeholders were added
more robust definition of min_plugin_interface_version
The problem was that simple_parser was compiled as static plugin, which
is intended to be linked into server, but not plugged.
This patch makes simple_parser to be compiled as dynamic plugin by adding
-DMYSQL_DYNAMIC_PLUGIN into CFLAGS.
no sense in building static library version of a plugin
plugin/fulltext/plugin_example.c
comments clarified. everything local to a plugin was declared static
The patch adds DYNAMIC_ARRAY all_status_vars, which is now the
sole source of status information for SHOW STATUS. Status
variables can be added to and removed from the array dynamically.
SHOW STATUS command uses this array instead of static array
from mysqld.cc
Compatibility with the old, global list of status variables is
preserved in init_server_components(), where this global list is
simply appended to all_status_vars.
