mysql: update to 5.7.12

[lrusak]

mysql 5.7.12 needs the exact boost version 1_59_0. So downgrading boost is the simplest solution.

mysql 5.7 bring tls 1.2 encryption.

@MilhouseVH a clean build with this would be appreciated.

[lrusak]

Updated, thanks for testing @MilhouseVH 👍

It is possible to instruct mysql 5.7.12 to download correct boost version when building.

[lrusak]

@vpeter4 yes it is, however this is a lot of extra bandwidth when you have to build all the projects :)

[vpeter4]

Agree. If boost on a system will need to upgrade back then for mysql should be used different solution.
Because I was rebuilding this few times I download the package once and unpack the content to required folder.

[stefansaraev]

what if something else needs "exact" boost 1.58.0 tomorrow?

doesnt this work ? : -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=$ROOT/$PKG_BUILD/boost_build

[vpeter4]

Yes, downloading boost works from mysql itself.

[stefansaraev]

so, mysql now requires boost for a feature you wont ever use (GIS). why not use 5.5 or 5.6 instead ?

[lrusak]

because tls 1.2

as requested by users

[stefansaraev]

what's the benefit of using tls in your local network ?

[lrusak]

maybe they want some shared cloud mysql database. who knows 😄

[stefansaraev]

so TLSv1 that is available in 5.6 is not enough?

[MilhouseVH]

The boost dependency is unfortunate but is this likely to be a problem when the trend is to move away from boost? A quick scan shows only mpd with a boost dependency, and mpd should be able to use 1_59_0.

[sopparus]

since boost is only used for GIS it would be safe to make mysql ignore the 1.59 check and compile with 1.60. I have tried that and it works. (just an option)

[lrusak]

thanks @sopparus . I have dropped the boost commit and updated mysql to work with boost 1_60_0

[stefansaraev]

sed -i '/^IF(NOT BOOST_MINOR_VERSION.*$/,/^ENDIF()$/d' $ROOT/$PKG_BUILD/cmake/boost.cmake

even better :)

EDIT: then you dont have to care when you bump boost for some other reason.

[lrusak]

@stefansaraev thanks 👍

MariaDB?

[MilhouseVH]

MariaDB?

Maybe if/when Kodi officially recognises and supports MariaDB, but for now it's MySQL only.

If you want to use MariaDB instead of MySQL with Kodi, you're on your own, and there have been times when MariaDB hasn't worked with Kodi (MariaDB bugs etc.), so it's additional risk/pain.

I see @MilhouseVH :-) Thank you for taking the time explaining it.

[lrusak]

@MilhouseVH any negative effects?

[MilhouseVH]

Nope, all good.
