Bug 230501 – dev-db/mysql-init-scripts: add features from debian-start

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Evert Meulie 2008-07-02 11:44:34 UTC]

On a Ubuntu system I came across /etc/mysql/debian-start in their MySQL server start/stop script.
This script carries out a bunch of sanity checks right after starting the MySQL server. Let's adapt this script and implement it on Gentoo as well!

Reproducible: Always

IMHO force these test on every restart is not so good as it seem.
The Solution [tm] would be to add {pre,post} hooks to {start,stop} phases and maybe document some example on how to achieve automatic testing/repairing of tables, permissioons, whatever.

However this should be a change in baselayout or openrc, not mysql init scripts.

OpenRC already supports pre_$command
where $command is start,stop, status, custom_command, etc

(just idly browsing bugzilla here)

1. See the new mysql init scripts in bug 175783.
2. I don't find Roy's mentioned pre_ ability in the openrc generic codebase. It's in the net.* stuff as shell code only.

This would also require that a valid root login for MySQL is somewhere in the filesystem (debian stores a copy for it's admin use).

Respin against the new mysql-init-scripts-2.0_pre1 please

Please reopen when you respin.
