The current MySQL module is hard to modify, test, and drop in
replacement components to. This work starts out by refactoring
the bindings support in MySQL to a completely seperate bindings
class in order to reduce the amount of parameters in the main
class for a feature that is infrequently used.
In addition to this start the movement of client configuration
and packages to the mysql::client::* namespace.
This adds a parameter (default value is like old behavior) so that the
my.cnf file isn't managed (created/updated) by the mysql module at all
which is necessary for our environment. We need to set all parameters by
ourself. If we don't set a parameter then the default from the mysqld
binary should be used instead of any default parameter the mysql module
provides us.
by hand and then you change your mysql::server entry to match. If you
also change any mysql::db entries at the same time this causes those to
be attempted before your /root/.my.cnf is updated.
I can't add rspec testing for this until https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/pull/106
is merged.
Removal of the ambiguously named package_name parameter, without having a version provide a deprecation warning for a reasonable amount of time seems unreasonable.
As Hunner suggests, adding a workaround variable to init.pp and use that as package name gives us the ability to warn users about the upcoming deprecation, while still maintaining backwards compatibility.
This is a major change to the module and would be released as a new
version.
* Add self.instances to database and database_user for puppet resource.
* Update database provider to use flush method.
* Update module to conform to puppet-lint recommendations.
* Cleanup some unecessary logic in mysql::db define type.
* Move mysql_restart to config class.
* Use class to class dependency instead of resource dependency.
* Change appropriate rspec-puppet tests.
* Add fixtures directory to simplify testing.
* Update raketask and spec_helper to reflect fixture changes.
* Update mysql_password function to support validation.
* Move client installation to a separate class.
* Update documentation and readme.
The mysql client package is different on CentOS. This commit adds
a parameter for the mysql client package and defaults to a variable
in the mysql::params class.
