Topic: Wanted: mysqld for OpenWRT

In cases where OpenWRT is run on x86 boards like Alix, there is more than enough CPU and RAM to run more hefty applications. The PostgreSQL package is already set up in the buildroot to optionally allow for both client and server components.  Would you find it useful to do the same for MySQL?  I certainly would, but I'm a bit of a buildroot noobie.  Is there someone out there who could rewrite the MySQL makefile to add server compilation as a feature?

I agree too !

MySQL would run decently on a 300 Mhz x86 CPU with 128 MB RAM !

As PGSQL is ported on OpenWRT, I can't understand why MySQL could not be too smile

Please do something smile

Wasn't MySQL 4.something packaged for White Russian back in the day? Or was it only available with OptWare? I remember it running on my wl500gd...

MySQL 5.x will run decently on an Alix, especially when tuned for low memory usage. I've run it successfully on a 256 MB model (with Ubuntu 6.06)

If someone have the makefile or a patch to apply I'm for including it.

Let me know

waste of time. I just found that is yet in trunk

The discussion might have continued from here.
