Hello, MySQL users, We have discovered several issues with our 3.23.49 x86 Linux binary, and will be releasing 3.23.49a as soon as they are resolved. This time we will do a more thorough testing before the release takes place. If somebody wants to help us test 3.23.49a Linux binary before it is released, send me a private mail.
The issues are: a) If your /etc/nsswitch.conf has line passwd:compat and nscd ( Name Service Caching Daemon) is not running, MySQL will not be able to run properly when you give it --user argument failing in getpwent() - workaround is to install nscd or edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and replace "compat" with "files". The side effect of the workaround is that other applications might be negatively affected, although this should be rather uncommon. As most Linux distributions now run nscd, this issue does not come up in many cases. The only affected system we know about is Slackware 8. b) All time functions return time in GMT - workaround is to do export TZ=/etc/localtime in the shell that starts mysqld. We have a permanent solution for both issues which will be available in 3.23.49a. This applies only to x86 Linux - other operating systems are not affected. For the curious, we have discovered some library incompatibility issues and needed to re-build our patched glibc that we link MySQL against. So, unfortunately, we've run into a few glitches during the process. However, this glibc ordeal will produce some good - we will finally prepare and publish easy to follow and precise instructions on how we build our magic super-power Linux binary - having learned my lessons I am documenting every single thing I am doing before I do it. -- MySQL Development Team For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Sasha Pachev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, http://www.mysql.com/ /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Provo, Utah, USA <___/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
