[119433] trunk/dports/devel/akonadi/Portfile

[Craig Treleaven]

Since you've gone first, could I ask what are you doing for legacy 
data?  Perhaps I'm missing something, but someone that has been using 
akonadi with mysql5 and then upgrades the port will then get mariadb 
installed and akonadi configured to use that, instead.  No?  But 
mariadb will not contain the user's (presumably) valuable data--which 
is pretty jarring.

The user will need to:

1) use  /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqldump,
2) shut down the mysql5 server,
3) (a) initialize and, (b) start up the mariadb server, and
4) use mariadb's utility to load the data.
5) Possibly have to reapply any database config tweaks they previously set up.

I know that the legacy mysql5 port needs to be retired but it seems 
like we're going to make existing users jump through a bunch of hoops 
to get there.

I'm not trying to pick on nicos...just trying to see that the 
implications are understood.  In a lot of ways, the akonadi port is 
similar to my situation with the mythtv* ports.  Most users don't 
care what database is used.  They installed the port because it does 
something useful.  Forcing them to upgrade their database doesn't 
enhance that utility; it just creates work to get back to where they 
were before.
