Summary: 0004295: Warns about "old configuration directory", but references /opt/csw/mysql5/var while doing so
Description: Just upgraded from an oldish-installation (5.0.51,REV=2008.01.20) to 5.0.87,REV=2010.01.08. On installation of the new version there was a warning about a still existing "old configuration directory", but it referenced /opt/csw/mysql5/var which isn't a configuration directory, is it?

==> Installing CSWmysql5-5.0.87,REV=2010.01.08
Please see /opt/csw/share/doc/mysql5/license for license information.

*******************************************************************
* The old configuration directory /opt/csw/mysql5/var still exists.
* Please move your configuration to /var/opt/csw/mysql5.
*
* Installation will continue in 10 seconds.
* Press CTRL+C if you want to stop now.

This bit belongs to cswclassutils. Revision 8865 updates the message.

Plase see experimental for the updated package.

Just to make sure that I test the right pieces: were you referring to an experimental mysql package or an experimental cswclassutils package?

That was almost a year ago, so I don't remember clearly, but I probably referred to the classutils package.

Dug into it a bit. The mysql5 package from current doesn't rely on classutils but uses a custom preinstall script to raise the text in question.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5.0.x/files/CSWmysql5.preinstall?rev=7914 [^]

Same for the latest build description in trunk/ and other branches.

https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/trunk/files/CSWmysql51.preinstall [^]
https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5.0.x/files/CSWmysql5.preinstall [^]
https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5.1.x/files/CSWmysql51.preinstall [^]
https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5.1.x-optcsw/files/CSWmysql51.preinstall [^]
https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5.5.x/files/CSWmysql51.preinstall [^]

I am not very familiar with the package, but in effect, existing databases in /opt/csw/mysql5/var will be ignored if the user doesn't interrupt the preinstall script during the warning message, right? If so, a message saying exactly this would be good. Or maybe even an automatic abort of the preinstall script? After all, a user very likely wants to continue to use his existing database.

This has not appeared in the latest 5.5 build. I'll close soon if there's nothing new.

MySQL and recipe have been greatly improved since then.
