[debian-mysql] Bug#928230: libmariadb-dev-compat: mysql_config doesn't support --libmysqld-libs

[Gregor Riepl]

Package: libmariadb-dev-compat
Version: 1:10.3.14-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The /usr/bin/mysql_config build argument tool no longer supports the
--libmysqld-libs option, which breaks the build of amarok:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927991
This option is used to obtain build flags for the embedded DB library,
libmysqld/libmariadbd.

The library and corresponding build flags were removed in MySQL 8.0, but are
still supported in MariaDB 10.3, which Debian ships.

In the man page for mysql_config, this option is also mentioned, despite it not
being supported.

The problem stems from the fact that mysql_config is a symlink to
mariadb_config, which also doesn't support this option. However, there is a
shell script in the upstream source that does:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/scripts/mysql_config.sh

Please fix mariadb_config so it supports this option or replace the symlink
with the shell script.

Thank you.
