p5-DBD-mysql55.shar

The default version of MySQL is now 5.6.  The following note is in CHANGES:

20150204:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-(server|client)
  AUTHOR: ale at FreeBSD.org

  The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.5 to 5.6.

  If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.5 as the default version by
  adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:

  #
  # Keep MySQL 5.5 as default version
  #
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql= 5.5

However, there really should be a port for p5-DBD-mysql55 to match
p5-DBD-mysql51.

This would make life simpler in that you would not need to update the make.conf
file.  (OK, it would make MY life a bit simpler.)  Also, you could then have a
package for p5-DBD-mysql55 on the FreeBSD repository.  And this puts off the
problem of having to convert all the scripts which use mysql -pPASS, and the
problems of INSERT dying because you did not provide a default value for text
fields,  and now you have to specify mysql_mode=TRADITIONAL.  Sigh.

Attached is a SHAR archive for p5-DBD-mysql55.
