#30678: mysql5 should not read /etc/my.cnf -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: jeremyhu@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: | Port: mysql5 -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by pixilla@…): Replying to [comment:9 jeremyhu@…]:
What about editing the startup script to fail to start if ${prefix}/etc/my.cnf isn't present? This would not be good. There is no documented requirement that ANY my.cnf exist. It can print a warning message that uses should create that file. If someone really wants it to use /etc/my.cnf, they can comment that out or just use a symlink. The mysql option files (my.cnf) are documented by the software authors. The MacPorts mysql5 port honors the mysql documentation.
