When I try to connect to a mysql db, I get this error: No provider 'MySQL' installed it seems I'm not the only one, see the upstream bug: https://github.com/Alecaddd/sequeler/issues/26#issuecomment-372462711 It seems to work fine with the flathub flatpak version, so I think this is a packaging bug.
No, this is because libgda is broken and outdated in fedora, and the MySQL backend isn't compatible with the available mariadb anymore.
Ah, is there a bug for it? If so can you add it as a blocker for this?
Sure!
Thanks Fabio! I'll followup with the maintainer if I have some free time.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug is still valid on all fedora releases, and is still blocked by the broken libgda builds in fedora. So, re-tagging with "rawhide".
This should now be fixed with the latest libgda update in fedora 29.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 30 development cycle. Changing version to '30.
