Description Dan Langille freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-11-13 20:23:05 UTC 
I've been asked about porting the MySQL shell.

 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-shell/8.0/en/mysql-shell-install.html

I'm opening this ticket in case anyone has already done work on this.

I heard it was once in the ports tree, and is no longer.

Adding joneum@ to this in case they've considered this work.

^Triage: the better way to have done this is to put an entry into the wiki
under WantedPorts.

Without a patch it is unlikely anything will happen.

Valid points.

Given I was asked to do the work, this was my reaching out publicly to the MAINTAINER before beginning, just in case the work had been done, abandoned, etc, before I started in.

I'm hoping that any "No, don't do that because..." messages can arrive before I being work on it. :)
