To change all executables to have a mariadb name I had to:
- Do name changes in every CMakeLists.txt that produces executables
- CREATE_MARIADB_SYMLINK was removed and GET_SYMLINK added by Wlad to reuse the function in other places also
- The scripts/CMakeLists.txt could make use of GET_SYMLINK instead of introducing redundant code, but I thought I'll leave that for next release
- A lot of changes to debian/.install and debian/.links files due to swapping of real executable and symlink. I did not however change the name of the manpages, so the real name is still mysql there and mariadb are symlinks.
- The Windows part needed a change now when we made the executables mariadb -named. MSI (and ZIP) do not support symlinks and to not break backward compatibility we had to include mysql named binaries also. Done by Wlad
- It is not enough to have and DeleteSymlinks actions
because within the same installation some exes executables can be both
added and removed, which needs both adding and removing some symlinks.
Instead of CreateSymlinks, there is now FixSymlinks function, which
goes through the list, and adds or removes the symlinks as needed.
- Implemented rollback for symlink custom action.
- Generate list of symlinks in C++ file, using CMake, rather than storing
lists as MSI properties.
The general technique to generate MSI using CMake is taken from MySQL 5.5
Additional features not present in 5.5 installer :
-optionally creating a new database
(as Windows service), using new mysql_install_db.exe to do the job
- optional upgrade of existing services from old MySQL or Maria installation.
This work is actually done by the upgrade wizard that is launched at the
end of installation.
