all versions: added an option "--machine" that allows to override the autodetected
architecture string (e.g. "i386") that becomes part of the binary package name with
a different one
- moved the removal of the BASE directory to the end of the make_binary_distribution
script
references to the .texi file and the build targets that depend on manual.texi as the input file.
- added COPYING as a regular file instead of creating it during the build. This ensures that it's part
of the sources when pulling from BK (it used to be extracted from the manual)
- Removed a lot of cruft and unused/obsolete stuff from the Docs directory (e.g. Flags, Images)
- added a dummy mysql.info placeholder file (the info file is still used as the source to extract
various text files during the build). It will be replaced with a "real" file during the Bootstrap
process to create the official source distribution - the placeholder just satisfies build dependencies.
bug #5001, added conditional if to test if port set, then only kill the processes
for this port, not all processes (in the case of this bug where multiple servers
are killed.)
The change to the 'grep' to make sure mysqld_safe isn't killed was per Serg's
discovery that mysqld_safe would get killed.
In my testing, in killing one of the pids for a running server, the "if test ! -f $pid_file"
was the case that evaluated as true, so in order to test, I had to comment that block
out.
the rpm postinstall script must call mysql_install_db with --user=mysql,
and mysql_install_db must then pass this to mysqld. Otherwise, mysqld
runs as root, and if you have --log-bin=somewhere_out_of_var_lib_mysql
it creates binlog files owned by root in this dir, and this dir is not
fixed by the 'chmod mysql', so files remain owned by root, and later mysqld
(running as 'mysql') can't read them.
I'm hardcoding 'mysql' in the postinstall script, but it's already hardcoded
there in many places (see the useradd and chown) so it's ok.
Ensured that all projects compile
Removed compiler warnings
Better setting of server_version variable.
Fix that make_win_src_distribution creates the privilege tables.
Output TIMESTAMP in 4.1 format for 4.1 tables (or for TIMESTAMP(19)) (portability fix)
Fixed that INTERVAL can handle big integers. (Bug #3498)
Fixed that hostname="" works identical as hostname="%" for table/column grants (Bug #3473)
- Changed reading of config file so that one can use a separate config
file for [mysqld_multi] also. In other words --config-file=file will
read group [mysqld_multi] from this file, earlier it wouldn't have.
