Hi Bertrand-

I really don't understand why that was done (it was a lot more than removing support for mysql). It was already optional, but removing the option seems sort of silly. The only thing I can think of is that homebrew moved to binary packages whenever possible, so perhaps that was involved in the decision. Did they create a pike-mysql sub-package (just checked, they did not)?

Suppose someone could put it back in... I'm working on getting pike added to pkgsrc[1], which covers MacOS (and many more), and which will support a number of sub-packages, including mysql.

Hello,

Looks like Pike’s Homebrew formula is lacking MySQL / MariaDB support :

$ brew info pike ==> pike: stable 8.0.1738 (bottled) […]

Surprisingly, looks like that was removed a while ago : https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/3d9568bc86dc58c869c6e68a2ec...

Any reason why this change was made ?
