Yesterday Robin (robbat2), our Gentoo MySQL maintainer notified me that there has been a patch in MySQL 5.1, also approved by upstream developers, that fixed the akonadi crashes. Robin worked very close with the upstream developers and helped a lot for this. The patch in Gentoo is in dev-db/mysql-5.1.44-r1. At first it didn’t work, but recompiling x11-libs/qt-sql did the trick (which is the split sql module of the Qt package – Gentoo provides split Qt packages). As far as I know, other distros already shipped it. For those who didn’t, more information can be found in the following bug reports:
… and the patch is here

I’m dying for akanodi to become the norm. I love my PIM apps, and calendar regularly using kontact and kolab.
Keep up the great work

what kind of data Akonadi have to store in MySQL? Can’t it use only Nepomuk?

Akonadi (as it’s PIM resource abstraction library) needs database to store resource cache + related data. It’s common misconception however that Akonadi is thought to provide actual KIM resource storage. It’s not the case – resources are stored in ‘plain good old’ files like .vcf or .ics calendar/notes files.
Nepomuk itself uses SPARQL-aware database to store resource tags that in case of Virtuoso happens to be relational database, and it may be used by akonadi in a future (there are such plans, no deadlines yet).

So it is possible to store all needed data (those, which now is in MySQL) in Nepomuk, and not depend on MySQL at all?

@zhora
nope, akonadi server needs a db, it currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite, but I am not sure about the status of the last two ones

@tampakrap
But nepomuk-storage is a db
What kind of data does not fit there, that is the question
