- There are multiple ports which has MYSQL options and are non-DEFAULT.
Most of the time committers actually forget to check with the OPTION
enabled and in some cases they are BROKEN with newr versions of mysql.
So test with different versions of mysql and mark IGNOPRE_WITH_MYSQL
appropriately. Due to the EOL of 5.7 this has not been checked.
- Unbreak sysutils/cfengine* with MySQL 8.0 and later
- The primary purpose of running this check is having statistics of the
MySQL usability over MariaDB to explore the future possibility of
shifting to MariaDB as the default as major ports upstream have moved
their codebase to support MariaDB over MySQL.
- The following actions will also be taken after the sunset of MySQL 5.7
If a port is broken on all instances of MySQL/MariaDB:
- If a port has the option of multiple DB backends and MySQL is the
default then the DEFAULT will be changed to PGSQL/SQLITE before
2024Q1. And the OPTION will be removed before 2024Q2. If a
MAINTAINER is aware about such cases and want to prefer PGSQL over
SQLITE or vice versa please do so at your own accord. Otherwise
PGSQL will be preferred over SQLITE.
- If a port has the option of multiple DB backends and MySQL is not
the default then the the OPTION will be removed before 2024Q1.
