Hi Juraj!
I have been using Zabbix for some time now and really appreciate that it
is now built with MySQL support enabled. The very recent change of the
default MySQL version has shown up a slight issue: the default port
setting for poudriere is MYSQL=ON which pulls in MySQL v8 client however
this causes a conflict when other ports require the FreeBSD default
version which is now 8.4 rather then 8.0.
Setting the option MYSQLDV=ON deals with this however it is not set by
default and using it requires adding the port to the local poudriere
build list. Not a big deal since I use poudriere for other packages
anyway but please would you consider setting MYSQLDV=ON instead of
MYSQL=ON so that the OS default MySQL version can be used to build the package?
Many thanks,
Simon Wright.

This is, basically, a very good suggestion.
The problem is that Zabbix (in the past) did not always catch up with MySQL versions
and it happened that the default MySQL version in FreeBSD was just rCLtoo newrCY for Zabbix.
Thist might not be the case nowdays, howeveer.
What is still the case, is that, for example, they did not catch with PostgreSQLrCOs TimescaleDB extension releases (and it quite frequently happens
that the TimescaleDB extension version in ports ist too new for zabbix). ThatrCOs why IrCOm careful with such switch even with MySQL.
Nevertheless, I will explore the viability of switching the default MySQL to MYSQLDV.
