- Added a stub scripts/fill_help_tables.sql file to satisfy the build dependencies
- Removed scripts/fill_help_tables.sh and updated scripts/Makefile.am accordingly
The fill_help_tables.sql stub will be replaced with the approriate content when building the
official source distribution via Bootstrap - it's now autogenerated on the documentation server
and will be copied into place before packing up the source distribution.
references to the .texi file and the build targets that depend on manual.texi as the input file.
- added COPYING as a regular file instead of creating it during the build. This ensures that it's part
of the sources when pulling from BK (it used to be extracted from the manual)
- Removed a lot of cruft and unused/obsolete stuff from the Docs directory (e.g. Flags, Images)
- added a dummy mysql.info placeholder file (the info file is still used as the source to extract
various text files during the build). It will be replaced with a "real" file during the Bootstrap
process to create the official source distribution - the placeholder just satisfies build dependencies.
static linking against an unpatched glibc 2.3 is causing trouble
- add "glibc23" to the release suffix in this case
- re-ordered the Changelog that was messed up by a BK merge
(RPM is picky about this)
the rpm postinstall script must call mysql_install_db with --user=mysql,
and mysql_install_db must then pass this to mysqld. Otherwise, mysqld
runs as root, and if you have --log-bin=somewhere_out_of_var_lib_mysql
it creates binlog files owned by root in this dir, and this dir is not
fixed by the 'chmod mysql', so files remain owned by root, and later mysqld
(running as 'mysql') can't read them.
I'm hardcoding 'mysql' in the postinstall script, but it's already hardcoded
there in many places (see the useradd and chown) so it's ok.
- postinstall of the Mac OS X PKG failed as a parameter for
mysql_install_db was changed for MySQL 4.1
- postinstall of the Server RPM failed as mysql_create_system_tables was
missing from the file list
