Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> +Content-Type: text/plain +Posted: 2010-12-31 +Revision: 1 +News-Item-Format: 1.0 +Display-If-Installed: <dev-db/mysql-init-init-scripts-1.99 + +The MySQL init scripts are being revamped to handle more corner cases in MySQL +usage, and migrate from the old mixed multi-instance to symlinked init +instances instead. + +This does mean that you MUST review and merge the changes in the conf.d script +to the new style. For each instance of the mysql_slot_* variable in your old +/etc/conf.d/mysql, you should have a seperate /etc/conf.d/$FOO file, as well +as making /etc/init.d/$FOO a symlink back to /etc/init.d/mysql. + +The following variables have moved: +- MY_CNF (was 'mycnf' in mysql_slot_*) +- STARTUP_TIMEOUT (was 'startup_timeout' in mysql_slot_*) +- NICE (was 'nice' in the mysql_slot_* array) + +All other items from the mysql_slot_* variable array should be merged to form +the new MY_ARGS variable. + +Lastly, the new init scripts allow more flexibility in init dependency +ordering. Please see the rc_* variables in the new conf.d file for more +details. diff --git a/metadata/news/ChangeLog b/metadata/news/ChangeLog new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c693dad --- /dev/null +++ b/metadata/news/ChangeLog @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +# ChangeLog for news +# Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL v2 +# $Header: $ + + 06 Dec 2010; Robin H.
