Re-compiling MySQL 5.0 with OpenSSL support under Debian

If you’ve ever required OpenSSL support enabled for MySQL Server 5.0 under debian, then you will need to recompile MySQL. Under Debian this is very easy.

If you’ve ever required OpenSSL support enabled for MySQL Server 5.0 under debian, then you will need to recompile MySQL. Under Debian this is very easy.

First you will need to download the package source, as root type the following:


cd /root
mkdir build
cd build
apt-get source mysql-source-5.0

The above commands will create a folder called ‘build’, enter the directory and then download the mysql-server-5.0 package source. The following are the results under an Ubuntu server:


[[email protected]:/root/builds]# apt-get source mysql-server-5.0
Reading package lists... Done

Need to get 16.8MB of source archives.

dpkg-source: extracting mysql-dfsg-5.0 in mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38
dpkg-source: unpacking mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1.1.diff.gz

If you list the directory contents you should have something like this:


[[email protected]:/root/builds]# ls -al
total 16408K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:08 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:06 ../
drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:08 mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148883 2007-10-10 14:11 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1.1.diff.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1209 2007-10-10 14:11 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1.1.dsc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16602385 2007-04-03 05:03 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38.orig.tar.gz

Before we proceed we need to make sure that we have all of the necessary tools to compile the new packages and create the .deb:


apt-get install devscripts build-essential fakeroot

You will also want to make sure that you have any dependencies that the package would require:


apt-get build-dep mysql-server-5.0

Now that we have everything we need, we just need to make a modification to the file “mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38/debian/rules” with your favorite editor. Search for the following lines within the file:


--without-openssl
--with-yassl

And change the lines to the below:


--with-openssl
--without-yassl

Basically you’re enabling OpenSSL and disabling YaSSL, make sure that you have OpenSSL installed (apt-get install openssl). Once you’ve finished editing the file, save it and exit out of the editor.

You will then want to start the compiling and build of the Debian packages, run the following command within the “mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.3” directory like so:


[[email protected]:/root/builds/mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.3]# debuild -us -uc

Everything should process properly, and you should end up with a handful of .deb packages within “/root/builds”:


[[email protected]:/root/builds]# ls -al

Just run dpkg -i *.deb and all should be good!

LG to supply TV converters for US government program

Very interesting, no more analog TV channles. I wonder if Canada will follow suit.
LG to supply TV converters for US government program - For some, February 17, 2009 is going to be a frustrating day, as it marks the end of the line for American analog television broadcasts. Those with old-school wood-paneled TVs are going to either need to go out and buy a new set or purchase a converter box to be able to view the new digital channels. If I wasn’t already gadget-obsessed, I’d be mad as hell if someone forced me to upgrade my TV and I’d be even more furious once I found out how much it was going to cost me. Luckily, your trusty National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)has a solution.

Iran.com sold for $400,000

  • June 17, 2007

I got this link from a friend over MSN, interesting read, almost over a million dollars spent on domains.
Rick Latona of DigiPawn.com went on a spending spree this week and more than half a million dollars later he was the proud new owner of Iran.com ($400,000), TrackAndField.com ($57,000), Territory.com ($30,000) and Gutter.com ($12,500). The first three names all landed on the top half of our new Top 20 chart and Gutter.com just missed making the Big Board. All four names were acquired in private transactions. In addition to being the biggest sale reported this week, Iran.com is the 6th biggest sale reported so far in 2007.

CE-Oh no he didn’t, part XXXV: NBC sez piracy hurts ‘corn growers’

CE-Oh no he didn't, part XXXV: NBC sez piracy hurts 'corn growers' -

Filed under: ,

Although some may argue that piracy is (at least on some level) beneficial, it looks like NBC has taken that sentiment to the opposing extreme with its latest comments. In a purported filing with the FCC calling for enhanced regulation of the internet in an attempt to stifle evil P2P activity, NBC blurted out a string of text that it surely hoped would be overlooked. Alas, hardly any ridiculous claims go unseen these days, so now we're faced with this gem: "In the absence of movie piracy, video retailers would sell and rent more titles. Movie theaters would sell more tickets and popcorn. Corn growers would earn greater profits and buy more farm equipment." There's absolutely no need for us to pick apart the aforementioned quote, after all, we're fairly certain the absurdity shines right through on its own.
