mysql-client for kodi -- 5.5 or 5.7 or ?

["Michael L. Riechers" <mlr%cterm.rse.com@localhost>]

Hello, all.

I'm compiling kodi, afresh from the package source current as of 21
April 2017.  My OS is NetBSD 7.1_RC2 Sun Feb 26 11:56:07 EST 2017.  Kodi
is the last compile of a sort of bulk build.

Being a glutton for punishment, I had compiled mysql-client 5.7.  So
when kodi got to this point, it croaked trying to build mysql-client
5.5 with:

=> Full dependency mysql-client>=5.5.10<5.6: NOT found
=> Verifying package-install for ../../databases/mysql55-client
=> Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20160304
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in mysql-client-5.5.55
Package mysql-client-5.5.55 has a ssl-downgrade vulnerability, see http://www.oc
Package mysql-client-5.5.55 has a use-after-free vulnerability, see https://web.
ERROR: Define ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES in mk.conf or IGNORE_URL in pkg_install.
*** Error code 1

Apparently, it wasn't bothered by the fact that a version of mysql was
already installed; I'm not sure what to make of that.  Can two
versions of mysql exist side by side? I think not.

So, I changed the kodi Makefile line 70 like this:

#.include "../../databases/mysql55-client/buildlink3.mk"
.include "../../mk/mysql.buildlink3.mk"

and the compile ended successfully.

The buildlink3.mk appears to have been that way forever, so my
question is: is there some actual need for mysql 5.5, and is there
some hope that my modification will work?

Thanks in advance.

Yours,

-Mike
