MariaDB Dependencies

Hi,

So I'm getting accustomed to FreeBSD. I've gotten over a number of dumb mistakes. Maybe this is one, and I just don't realize it yet. On my Debian boxes, I have migrated from mysql to mariadb. As many of you would know, it is designed as a drop-in replacement. I didn't have any problem installing it.

I use mysqlbackup to do regular backups, optimization, and backup rotations. It should work just fine with mariadb, but when I attempt to install it with pkg install mysqlbackup, pkgng wants to install mysql55-client as well.

Is there a way to fix this so that mariadb-client is used instead? I've searched the handbook and the web with little help.

Thanks!
 
Try building from source. Packages are built using the default options. And the default is MySQL 5.5.
 
Thanks so much! That helped me figure it out. I am using poudriere to build a repository, and I had the correct options set in make.conf for the host system, but I had neglected to add those options to the make.conf files that poudriere uses.

It works perfectly now!
