Hello,
I don' get this:
I installed py-MySQLdb via the port, with mysql56 installed via pkg
beforehand.
This went fine.
``pkg info py27-MySQLdb'' reports:
py27-MySQLdb-1.2.3_4
Name : py27-MySQLdb
Version : 1.2.3_4
Installed on : Wed Sep 3 21:10:49 UTC 2014
Origin : databases/py-MySQLdb
Architecture : freebsd:10:x86:64
Prefix : /usr/local
Categories : python databases
Maintainer : python at FreeBSD.org
WWW : http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/
Comment : Access a MySQL database through Python
Options :
DOCS : on
MYSQLCLIENT_R : on
Shared Libs required:
libpython2.7.so.1
libmysqlclient.so.18
Shared Libs provided:
_mysql.so
This is the exact same output I get when I install with ``pkg install
py27-MySQLdb'',
yet the pkg version does not accept mysql56, but insists on mysql55,
the fact that both use libmysqlclient.so.18 notwithstanding.
How do I handle this?, i. e. how do I, can I, manually change the
dependency
mysql55-client-5.5.39
to
mysql56-client-5.6.20
?
I have to use mysql56, does this mean I have to install the python module
via the port?
And consequently always take care that pkg while upgrading does not
downgrade the mysql client to 55
( and completely remove the server component while it's at it? )?
More:
After installing the python module via the port,
pkg show it as depending on mysql56:
root at m2:/usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb # pkg info -d py27-MySQLdb
py27-MySQLdb-1.2.3_4:
python27-2.7.8_4
python2-2_3
py27-setuptools27-5.5.1
mysql56-client-5.6.20
yet:
root at m2:/usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb # pkg upgrade
[...]
New packages to be INSTALLED:
mysql55-client: 5.5.39
Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
py27-MySQLdb-1.2.3_4 (direct dependency changed)
I'm sort of not getting this at all.

A pkg is a pre-compiled binary, almost always with lots of info for the install program like with the port. The advantage of a port is that you can modify the make file. The advantage of a pkg is that it almost always runs, somewhat reasonably, and a lot of the work is already done. -- Glenn English

You'll need to use the port, which can be built against anything that provides the necessary build time dependency. (It might be possible to force the package to install, but this is asking for trouble in the future.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b at gmail.com ballbery at sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
