Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.7
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/dbconfig-load-include
Hey sean,
I'm exploring dbconfig-common for use in one of my packages. It really
solves a common problem but I'm working on having it integrate
seamlessly with previous (e.g. sarge) versions of my package. That's
where dbconfig-load-include comes in very handy!
It does not work as advertised though. There are two issues:
1) the -f (format) option is listed to default to 'sh', but it doesn't.
When omitting the -f option the program yields "error: you must specify a
format!". Which makes sense to me, so I think just the mention of the
default should be dropped.
2) the short options -d, -s, -p, -u, -P and -t do not work. The man page
and online help give:
dbconfig-load-include [-hv] [-a] [-d [varname]] [-u [varname]] [-p
[varname]] [-s [varname]] [-P [varname]] [-t [varname]] -f format infile
but here's what happens with e.g. -t:
$ dbconfig-load-include -t dbms -f php /etc/package/config.php
unable to read input file dbms
$ dbconfig-load-include -t=dbms -f php /etc/package/config.php
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$'
in - on line 21
$ dbconfig-load-include --dbtype dbms -f php /etc/package/config.php
unable to read input file dbms
$ dbconfig-load-include --dbtype=dbms -f php /etc/package/config.php
dbc_dbtype='mysql';
So only the last invocation works, but this way of calling is advertised
nowhere.
I hope this report is useful to you, please contact me if you need more
information.
bye,
Thijs
