Two changes to the rc.d script:
1) Move the setting of pidfile to a place so that setting mysqld_datadir
in rc.conf will actually work; otherwise, if you use a non-default
mysqld_datadir, mysqld will not start.
2) ad@ pointed me to http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=18526, and said
that --skip-thread-priority should not be used on NetBSD, and the
PR spoke about Darwin / OS/X. I'm guessing that this might work
if the host platform is Linux or SunOS (the latter is unconfirmed).
So add that option to the startup in all other cases.
This is security fix.

Here is a part of it.
Functionality added or changed:
Security Enhancement:
To enable stricter control over the location from which user-defined
functions can be loaded, the plugin_dir system variable has been
backported from MySQL 5.1. If the value is non-empty, user-defined
function object files can be loaded only from the directory named by this
variable. If the value is empty, the behavior that is used before 5.0.67
applies: The UDF object files must be located in a directory that is
searched by your system's dynamic linker. (Bug#37428)
Important Change: Incompatible Change:
The FEDERATED storage engine is now disabled by default in the .cnf files
shipped with MySQL distributions (my-huge.cnf, my-medium.cnf, and so
forth). This affects server behavior only if you install one of these
files. (Bug#37069)
Cluster API: Important Change:
Because NDB_LE_MemoryUsage.page_size_kb shows memory page sizes in bytes
rather than kilobytes, it has been renamed to page_size_bytes. The name
page_size_kb is now deprecated and thus subject to removal in a future
release, although it currently remains supported for reasons of backward
compatibility. See The Ndb_logevent_type Type, for more information about
NDB_LE_MemoryUsage. (Bug#30271)
Important Change:
Some changes were made to CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE and REPAIR TABLE
with respect to detection and handling of tables with incompatible .frm
files (files created with a different version of the MySQL server). These
changes also affect mysqlcheck because that program uses CHECK TABLE and
REPAIR table, and thus also mysql_upgrade because that program invokes
mysqlcheck.
the termcap libraries. Including termcap.buildlink3.mk (indirectly
through including readline/buildlink3.mk) will do the right thing.
+ Remove readline dependency from Makefile.common and add it into
mysql5-client/Makefile. Only the -client package needs and uses
readline. The -server package only "needs" it to placate the
configure script, but none of its installed binaries are linked
against it.
+ Add full DESTDIR support to the -client and -server packages.
Bump the PKGREVISION of mysql5-client to 3.
The PKGREVISION of mysql5-server remains unchanged since there are
no user-visible changes to the binary package.
Change since version 5.0.41:
- Functionality added or changed:
- A new status variable, Com_call_procedure, indicates the number of calls
to stored procedures. (Bug#27994)
- NDB Cluster: The server source tree now includes scripts to simplify
building MySQL with SCI support. For more information about SCI
interconnects and these build scripts, see Section 15.9.1,
Configuring MySQL Cluster to use SCI Sockets. (Bug#25470)
- Prior to this release, when DATE values were compared with DATETIME values
the time portion of the DATETIME value was ignored. Now a DATE value is
coerced to the DATETIME type by adding the time portion as 00:00:00. To
mimic the old behavior use the CAST() function in the following way:
SELECT date_field = CAST(NOW() as DATE);. (Bug#28929)
- A large number of bugs including these security problems have been fixed:
- A malformed password packet in the
connection protocol could cause the server to crash. Thanks for Dormando
for reporting this bug and providing details and a proof of concept.
(Bug#28984)
- CREATE TABLE LIKE did not require any privileges on the source table. Now
it requires the SELECT privilege. (Bug#25578)
- In addition, CREATE TABLE LIKE was not isolated from alteration by other
connections, which resulted in various errors and incorrect binary log
order when trying to execute concurrently a CREATE TABLE LIKE statement
and either DDL statements on the source table or DML or DDL statements on
the target table. (Bug#23667)
* Added the SHOW PROFILES and SHOW PROFILE statements to display statement
profile data, and the accompanying INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING table.
* Added the Uptime_since_flush_status status variable, which indicates the
number of seconds since the most recent FLUSH STATUS statement.
* Incompatible change in DATE_FORMAT().
* NDB Cluster: The LockPagesInMainMemory configuration parameter has changed
its type and possible values.
* The bundled yaSSL library was upgraded to version 1.5.8.
* The --skip-thread-priority option now is enabled by default for binary Mac
OS X distributions. Use of thread priorities degrades performance on Mac OS X.
* Added the --disable-grant-options option to configure.
* Bug fixes.
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
This is a bugfix release for the current production release family.
MySQL 5.0.26 introduced an ABI incompatibility, which this release
reverts. Programs compiled against 5.0.26 are not compatible with
any other version and must be recompiled.
This is a bugfix release for the current production release family.
It replaces MySQL 5.0.24.
Changes from 5.0.24 to 5.0.24a:
MySQL 5.0.24 introduced an ABI incompatibility, which this release reverts.
Programs compiled against 5.0.24 are not compatible with any other version
and must be recompiled.
Closing of temporary tables failed if binary logging was not enabled.
For statements that have a DEFINER clause such as CREATE TRIGGER or
CREATE VIEW, long usernames or hostnames could cause a buffer overflow.
Pathname separator and device characters were not correctly parameterized
for NetWare, causing mysqld startup errors.
mysqld could crash when closing temporary tables.
Changes since version 5.0.22:
- Security fix: If a user has access to MyISAM table t, that user can
create a MERGE table m that accesses t. However, if the user's
privileges on t are subsequently revoked, the user can continue to
access t by doing so through m. If this behavior is undesirable, you
can start the server with the new --skip-merge option to disable the
MERGE storage engine. (Bug#15195)
- In the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES table the ROUTINE_DEFINITION
column now is defined as NULL rather than NOT NULL. Also, NULL rather
than the empty string is returned as the column value if the user does
not have sufficient privileges to see the routine
definition. (Bug#20230)
- Several other bug fixes
Full listing of changes:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-21.html
Notable changes include:
- Security enhancement: Added the global max_prepared_stmt_count system
variable to limit the total number of prepared statements in the
server.
- The default for the innodb_thread_concurrency system variable was
changed to 8.
- Fixes for CVE-2006-1516, CVE-2006-1517 and CVE-2006-1518.
And a lot of bug fixes.
INSTALL/DEINSTALL script creation within pkgsrc.
If an INSTALL or DEINSTALL script is found in the package directory,
it is automatically used as a template for the pkginstall-generated
scripts. If instead, they should be used simply as the full scripts,
then the package Makefile should set INSTALL_SRC or DEINSTALL_SRC
explicitly, e.g.:
INSTALL_SRC= ${PKGDIR}/INSTALL
DEINSTALL_SRC= # emtpy
As part of the restructuring of the pkginstall framework internals,
we now *always* generate temporary INSTALL or DEINSTALL scripts. By
comparing these temporary scripts with minimal INSTALL/DEINSTALL
scripts formed from only the base templates, we determine whether or
not the INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts are actually needed by the package
(see the generate-install-scripts target in bsd.pkginstall.mk).
In addition, more variables in the framework have been made private.
The *_EXTRA_TMPL variables have been renamed to *_TEMPLATE, which are
more sensible names given the very few exported variables in this
framework. The only public variables relating to the templates are:
INSTALL_SRC INSTALL_TEMPLATE
DEINSTALL_SRC DEINSTALL_TEMPLATE
HEADER_TEMPLATE
The packages in pkgsrc have been modified to reflect the changes in
the pkginstall framework.
MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the
most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.
The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.
The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).
This package contains the MySQL server programs and libraries.
