@FrederickZh it worked. I could update protobuf and install mysql seamlessly. Thank you.

@FrederickZh thank you. I'll try later today.

protobuf 3.10.0-1 breaks mysqld because the file libprotobuf-lite.so.18 has been removed in this version. I had to downgrade it to 3.7.0-1 to make it work again.

Using the flag -DWITH_SYSTEM_LIBS=OFF during the compilation helped me to fix the problem https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=95287 "mysql client ignores ~/.editrc. bind "^W" ed-delete-prev-word doesn't work"

Hi @Muflone,

thank you for maintaining the repo!

What's the intention behind removing mysql_config_editor after the build? It's a very useful CLI utility for storing the credentials. I've prepared a small patch (https://pastebin.com/wtVwRgFt) which prevents removing it. Would you mind consider applying it?

It seems that there are several missing files in this package compared with the official ones for Ubuntu 18.04 amd64. Here's a summary CSV I put together: https://gist.github.com/Frederick888/dbc2b80f176d79dcfbd7fb4bafac178a

The following patch fixes the missing mysqlx headers and mysqlbinlog. Additionally, I moved mysql_upgrade to a separate block as it was removed cos of a different reason; libmysqlclient.a to libmysqlclient since in Ubuntu it's also in libmysqlclient-dev; and imho I don't think removing the compiled binaries in build() is a good practice as it voids the purpose of makepkg flags such as -R, -C (and AUR helpers like yay actually asks users whether a clean build is needed) hence the mkdir part at the beginning. I'm not quite sure why some plugins, e.g. innodb_engine.so, are not even built tho (didn't see them in cmake --build . --target help).

@Muflone Fair enough. Actually I didn't even know MySQL Shell existed until several days ago when I was googling about how connection URIs could be used for CLI. Hope it can get more traction in the future.

Btw, when I was scanning the files, I noticed that usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a is packed into mysql instead of libmysqlclient. Sorry if it's a stupid question but shouldn't it be in the latter?

@FrederickZh I don't think it would be useful for mysql package users to download the source code for mysql-shell, build it and don't install it. It would cause a lot of unuseful work for a majority of users

Sorry if this question has already been answered (I went through several pages of comments without finding any similar ones), but is it possible to ship mysql-shell with this package as well?

I just had a glance at the build instruction of mysql-shell and it seems that it requires both the source code of MySQL and the X protocol client library to compile (actually also the build directory of MySQL, but I suspect it's only needed to locate libmysqlclient and libmysqlxclient). In this case is it better to build MySQL Shell along with this package so that it could be easier to manage?
