This script could be used to sync backups to a central server, or just
to create a file to let external scripts know that backups are
(sucessfully) done and can be picked up.
The postscript option (defaults to false) and can be either a string or
an array of strings. These strings will be directly put into the
mysqlbackup.sh and as such can either be shell commands, or externally
managed files.
Some MySQL options need to be passed several times. For example :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_replicate-do-db
This is currently impossible with the override_options. This patch allows to
pass array as value. Example :
override_options => {
'client' => {
'password' => 'xxx',
},
'mysqld' => {
'bind_address' => '0.0.0.0',
'replicate-do-db' => ['base1', 'base2', 'base3'],
},
}
Which will be evaluated into :
[client]
password = xxx
[mysqld]
bind_address = 0.0.0.0
replicate-do-db = base1
replicate-do-db = base2
replicate-do-db = base3
These tests are more or less parity with the rspec-system tests, though
dependent on a few patches that still have to make it into beaker and
beaker-rspec
This turned out to be a fairly bad idea. It begun as a way to try
and mirror what happens in the postgresql module for consistency
but instead made things complex.
I've changed it to have the override_options in mysql::server which
leads much more naturally out of the design and shape of MySQL.
This initial round of work focuses on adding the concept of
mysql::globals to the module. This is a shared place to provide all the
data the module needs, and then clients, servers, and providers can all
rely on this information to set things up.
This is being primarily used at first to allow a default_options hash
that contains all the previous parameters and takes a overrides_options
that allows you to then further customize any of the options in my.cnf.
This provider has undergone the largest set of changes and currently
just accepts a full SQL grant string as the name and then applies it,
making things easier for DBAs and removes the awkward attempts at
modelling grants into Puppet.
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.
