#66981: mariadb-10.11 @10.11.1_0 binaries aren't in the normal path
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  adamfranco   |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.8.1
 Keywords:               |       Port:  mariadb-10.11
-------------------------+---------------------------
 After installing https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-
 12_arm64-builder/builds/72726 I didn't find any of the expected `mysql`
 commands available even with `/opt/local/bin` in my `$PATH`. It turns out
 that this port installs its binaries in
 `/opt/local/lib/mariadb-10.11/bin`, but there is no note that this path
 must be added to the user's `$PATH`. It seems like it would be even better
 if this step wasn't needed and the binaries were installed in
 `/opt/local/bin` or were somehow linked there with a `port select mariadb
 mariadb-10.11` sort of command, but there may be reasons for not doing so.
 The addition of a note about the path would be a minumum-impact
 improvement to help avoid confusion.

 Here are the existing notes seen on install:
 {{{
 --->  Activating mariadb-10.11 @10.11.1_0
 --->  Cleaning mariadb-10.11
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
 --->  No broken files found.
 --->  No broken ports found.
 --->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
   mariadb-10.11 has the following notes:
     On activation if no /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/my.cnf file exists
 one
     will be created which loads
     /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/macports-default.cnf.

     If a /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/my.cnf file exists MacPorts does not
     touch it and any changes you make to
 /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/my.cnf
     will be preserved (e.g., during port upgrades, deactivations or
     activations). /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/my.cnf is a good place to
     customize your mariadb-10.11 installation.

     Any changes made to /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/macports-default.cnf
     will be lost during port upgrades, deactivations or activations so you
     are advised to not make changes here. Currently
     /opt/local/etc/mariadb-10.11/macports-default.cnf contains only one
     directive; to disable networking. With disabled networking it is
     possible to install and have running all the MacPorts mysql ports
     simultaneously.
