<--- ChangeLog extract
Since these script have some improvements and since they are compatible
with the current stable, probably I'll bump the stable MySQL version to
use them (no, not tomorrow but not so far in time).
However my knowledge of "sys-apps/baselayout" is not so deep, so could
someone take a look at the two ?
Things that I'm worried about:
- They use a good quantity of bash magic, how much it's compatible with
every gentoo supported system?
- Will be future changes of baselayout be compatible with ?
- how much is it compatible with *past* release of baselayout ?
- and with sys-apps/*layout?
- the rc-script force "start-stop-daemon" to start multiple daemons from
the same script, how is it good/bad, thoughts ?
- the code is readable or an effort should be done to make it simplyer ?
please add your own here
provided you have dev-db/mysql already emerged testing is as easy as:
# mv /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/init.d/mysql~
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# cp ${PORTDIR}/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-slot.conf.d /etc/conf.d/mysql
# cp ${PORTDIR}/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-slot.rc6 /etc/init.d/mysql
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
TIA,
Francesco Riosa
