Description Terje Rosten 2015-10-23 13:18:58 UTC
MySQL option --myisam-recover  has been deprecated since MySQL 5.5.3, new name for option is --myisam-recover-options, forks are also using this name.

In MySQL 5.7 (just released as GA) --myisam-recover  has been removed.

To make amarok work with MySQL 5.7 option name --myisam-recover-options should be used.

2. Run amarok.

Thank you for your patch, which exact Amarok version did you build?
Please submit your patch to http://reviewboard.kde.org specifying if it is based on master or a specific release tag

FWIW: we do not require mysql 2.7 to build Amarok currently (README states MySQL 5.0 or newer), why should we patch the current master, as we are already porting to Qt5 and will update the dependencies once the port is done? Amarok 2.9 will be the last release in Qt4, and it is due in a few weeks.

FWIW2: wasn't this fixed already in master by this commit: http://commits.kde.org/amarok/00dd8b41143ce08d1f529b439a943fd9bd052341 ?
Comment 3 Stefano Pettini 2016-06-12 06:25:24 UTC
Hi All,

I spend 2h debugging mysql_library_init returning 1 and nothing else. It was due to the usage of deprecated --myisam-recover, instead of --myisam-recover-options.

The commit of 2013 linked above tried to fix a problem occurred in the past by using the deprecated --myisam-recover instead of the proper one --myisam-recover-options. I assume there was a good reason for this choice, but now recent MySQL versions don't accept the deprecated option anymore so that fix should be reverted.

Terje's fix should be applied instead, possibly before releasing 2.9, as it's the safest fix: it leaves the behavior unchanged for pre-5.7 MySQL versions, and switch to the proper option for 5.7 and newer.

I'll post his patch on reviewboard.

There has been another commit since, is this fixed now or is there still something pending?
Comment 5 Stefano Pettini 2016-06-12 11:44:06 UTC
Which commit? If you're talking about this:

> FWIW2: wasn't this fixed already in master by this commit: http://commits.kde.org/amarok/
> 00dd8b41143ce08d1f529b439a943fd9bd052341 ?

this is the commit that introduced the problem. The bug is with the latest 2.8-git and recent versions of MySQL 100% reproducible, and will be fixed when Terje's patch is merged.

See my comment:
