The whole review is being done in COPR. SRPM, SPECfile, all artifact and the Fedora Review report are there. I'm submitting this particular build for review: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mschorm/mysql8.4/build/7913138/ Spec URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/mschorm/mysql8.4/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/07913138-mysql8.4/mysql8.4.spec SRPM URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/mschorm/mysql8.4/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/07913138-mysql8.4/mysql8.4-8.4.2-4.fc42.src.rpm Description: MySQL client programs and shared libraries Fedora Account System Username: mschorm --- Notes: This package is a new version of already existing package: mysql8.0 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.0 Recently, as a part of: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F40_MariaDB_MySQL_repackaging The MariaDB and MySQL Fedora packages has been transformed to the versioned layout. This layout allows for different versions to be available at the same time in the repository, but explicitly disallows installation of different versions at the same time. There always should be *no more than one* MySQL package in distribution that is set as "distribution default version", as can be seen here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.0/blob/rawhide/f/mysql8.0.spec#_8 Currently 'mysql8.0' is the only MySQL version available, and it IS set to be the distribution default version. The package 'mysql8.4' in this review is NOT set as the distribution default version.
Drive-by comment: The package summary is "MySQL client programs and shared libraries" - this should also be used as the <summary> part of the bug title in the review request template.

1) That's weird, since when I run the RPMlint by hand, it reports issues that should be otherwise filtered out, e.g.: mysql8.4-server.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary mysql_migrate_keyring mysql8.4-server.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary mysqld_pre_systemd May it be because it's called 'mysql.rpmlintrc' instead of 'mysql8.4.rpmlintrc' ? 2) Right, will fix. 3) I made a re-base to the latest upstream version (8.4.2 -> 8.4.3), so I hope it will finish by tomorrow. (The build itself takes 1-2 hours, but 'fedora-review' runs forever on such a huge package)

> "fedpkg lint" shows a lot of warnings(595), most of them are files-duplicate(545) The 'files-duplicate' likely comes from the test-suite, which contains a lot of empty files of specific names, e.g. as a pre-recorded test results, which are then compared to the actual test results. I'd strongly advise to ignore nearly any linter findings in the '/usr/share/mysql-test' path, as most of the issues found are expected behavior specifically crafted for the test-suite. Though this one can be fixed: mysql8.4-test.x86_64: E: file-parent-ownership-mismatch Path "/usr/share/mysql-test/platform-specific-tests.list" owned by "root" is stored in directory owned by "mysql" as that's a downstream file. > mysql8.4-server.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/libexec/mysql-scripts-common 644 /bin/sh Is that a problem? This is a helper script. A code that is never meant to be executed directly. It is sourced by various other scripts in /usr/bin. That also is the reason why the 'mysql-scripts-common' is in the /usr/libexec instead of /usr/bin as per FSH. Since it is only sourced, I don't see a reason for having it executable. > mysql8.4-server.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /var/lib/mysql-files 750 > mysql8.4-server.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /var/log/mysql 750 This permission is valid in certain use cases - certain category of software working with MySQL DB is added to the group 'mysql' to get read-only access to some files it can then monitor and examine, such as the DB server logs. But such external software should not get write privileges. At the same time, some data is confidential, so it shouldn't be shared outside the mysql user & group - e.g. the DB logs again are a great example. Same with the '/var/lib/mysql-files' which is used as a specific location for file import / export operations to / from the DB. > mysql8.4-server.x86_64: E: missing-dependency-to-logrotate for logrotate script /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld > mysql8.4-server.x86_64: E: incoherent-logrotate-file /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld The logrotate requires extra manual steps to be set up properly. The logrotate file has an example configuration, but is all commented out. That is expected as it needs manual steps to be enabled. I will add Suggests: logrotate to the SPECfile, so it advertises such feature, but does not pull it in unnecessarily. -- The 8.4.3 build succeeded yesterday, so the latests upstream release is prepared now. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mschorm/mysql8.4/build/8268175/ -- I've added some fixes for the issues you raised and submitted another build.

I can give you a hint to fix some errors, and speed up the process. But I am not in the "packager group", I am sorry, Come on guys! This a review for a critical package that is three months old!. BTW: If you want "steal" some ideas from the upstream vendor: https://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-8.4-community/el/9/SRPMS/mysql-community-8.4.3-1.el9.src.rpm https://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-8.4-community/fc/41/SRPMS/mysql-community-8.4.3-10.fc41.src.rpm
I will take this as a reviewer. Xose, if you have some suggestions, feel free to give them to Michal. The more eyes see this, the more errors/issues will be resolved. Btw, thank you for the review so far :) Michal, can you please create the `mysql8.4.rpmlintrc file` as Xose suggested?

It looks like it’s not redefined anywhere in the spec, so I believe you could use the %global. I'm going to review the licenses, which may take more time so I'm providing first feedback, so you might respond to the questions.
It looks like the license is referring to the external file `README.mysql-license` [1]. However, the site that it refers to claims it is deprecated [2]. This package now uses a newer `Universal FOSS Exception, Version 1.0` [3]. This license is not yet allowed in Fedora-allowed licenses [4]. Also, the above-mentioned file may violate this other license checkbox: > [ ]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream. It looks like it was added quite a time ago in this commit [5], but I'm not sure it's the upstream file (please verify) [1] https://gitlab.com/mschorm/centos_rpms_mysql8.4/-/blob/c10s/README.mysql-license?ref_type=heads [2] https://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/ [3] https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/universal-foss-exception/ [4] https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/182 [5] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.0/c/de3bd6c4ed2b2b7ed694ec908d082679eca0890e?branch=rawhide

(Support dropped with first MySQL 8.1 version) --- %global instead of %define: Well, YOU introduced the code there :P https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.0/c/59a23?branch=rawhide I asked Filip Janus, the original author of the logic, whether he can remember having a particular reason using the %define. I don't see it as a huge problem, but rather a possible enhancement. More than 1350 packages use %define tags in over 4300 places in Fedora, as per sourcegraph search before the search result limit was hit: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+repo:%5Esrc.fedoraproject.org/+%25define&patternType=regexp&sm=0 --- Licensing: I agree that the content of the file 'README.mysql-license' should be updated and clarified.

It looks like openssl has deprecated this subpackage a month ago [1] [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssl/c/4f8f7aa19f71284aaff50ee5659b89cfa98932e4 > %global instead of %define: I discussed this with Filip, and we agreed it could be changed to %global, so since it's required by FPG, we should comply.

I did a major rework. Until now, the code was derived from CentOS Stream 10 branch, which was based on Fedora content. Now I've rebased all the relevant changes from the CentOS Stream 10 branch onto the current Fedora Rawhide branch. So now it both contains the latest Fedora changes and the code is a natural evolution of the existing Fedora package - mysql8.0 The current links are: Spec URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/mschorm/mysql8.4/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08898139-mysql8.4/mysql8.4.spec SRPM URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/mschorm/mysql8.4/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08898139-mysql8.4/mysql8.4-8.4.4-1.fc43.src.rpm COPR fedora-review report: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/mschorm/mysql8.4/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08898139-mysql8.4/fedora-review/review.txt Git: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/mschorm/rpms/mysql8.0/commits/mysql8.4_package_review -- I've tried to fix the "%global instead of %define". I managed to fix one occurrence: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/mschorm/rpms/mysql8.0/c/ffb3296?branch=mysql8.4_package_review However when I changed the other instances, the code broke. The other instances use the %define for function calls, processing arguments, and so on. They are responsible for proper generation of virtual Provides and Conflicts. When I tried to use %global there, the generated virtual relationship broke, making the sub-packages conflicting with every other, leaving the package FTI. I will try to revisit it in the future, but at this moment I wasn't able to fix the whole problem. I hope this is effort is acceptable for the review to pass.

Thank you for all the fixes. I approve this package from the reviewer POV.
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.4
8.4.5 was released yesterday, changes in MySQL 8.4.5 (2025-04-15, LTS Release): https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.4/en/news-8-4-5.html
The package reached Rawhide repos. Is installable, can be upgraded to and the basic functionality was checked. User testing and feedback is encouraged. The rebase to upstream latest release is WIP, but not in scope of this ticket.
