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.
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.
