Friends can't install mysql80-server
I'm doing
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql80-server
make
I get the error Vulnerable ports are marked as such even if there is no update available. Please update your ports tree and try again.
My version is mysql80-server-8.0.28_4, need version 8.0.29
but I can’t find it on the Internet and updating the ports does not help
 
And when can we expect an update? There is information?
 
Ask the maintainer. I don't see a PR about the issue either.
 
Well, if it hasn't been released upstream then it's obvious why the maintainer hasn't updated the port.
 
And when will the assembly in the ports?
 
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap fetch update

And does not find a new program v 8.0.29.
 
Sigh, the MAINTAINER of the port hasn't updated the port yet! Updates don't magically appear the very second a new upstream version is created.

It will take time for the maintainer to make the patch, test it, upload it and get the update committed to the ports tree. We then get to the point where snapshots have to be created from the ports tree for portsnap(8), which is also going to take a bit of time.

Unless this file changes the port is going to stick to the 8.0.28_4 version: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/databases/mysql80-server/Makefile
 
I got impatient once waiting for an update to the MySQL 5.7 port and thought “how hard can it be?” expecting it to be a few files changed with security/stability fixes.

But there were HUNDREDS of changes in the source, the build files, the way the SSL libraries were used etc and I had to give up.

And it made me appreciate even more the hard and time-consuming work that porters do - largely unpaid.

Sometimes you see updates or newly-imported ports with “Sponsored by XYZ” so maybe if you sponsor or pay a porter the updated version will appear sooner.
 
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap fetch update

Never updated.
 
Hello,

I am the maintainer of the MySQL ports.
I don't know if you are aware that we do all this voluntarily?

I have a job that I do during the week.
I have a family that I also enjoy spending time with.
I have other hobbies than sitting at the PC.

I spent 6 hours today to test the update for MySQL 5.7 carefully, so that no one has problems after the release.
I got up at 8am, had breakfast with my family, and after that I took care of FreeBSD. That took about 6 hours.

Now I went shopping and am back at the PC to look at the update for MySQL 8.0. In the past so much was changed with each update that it took days until the port with the new version is ready to be released. This will probably cost me the rest of the weekend.

How has your weekend been so far?

I always get a lot of emails when there is a new update for MySQL. Very many people write with an eMail address from a company. I am happy to see that a lot of companies are using FreeBSD and MySQL.
When I answer that I do all this in my spare time and I would be happy if they support my work with PayPal or Patreon, I don't get any answer anymore. Strange ......

Many thanks for your work (as I said above, I tried once with a MySQL 5.7 update and ... wow, what a lot of griding miserable work to wade through all the changes - so many seemed to be unrelated to security/stability. And too hard for me.)

Can you remind us of your details for Patreon/PayPal, please?
 
Tired admins give instructions on what to do, I'll do it myself. Everyone has enough time to ask for money, it's easier that way. What to do business.
