note that we discarded some suggestions options:
F_LOG: replaced with syslog
DAEMON: will be considered for inclusion later
VERBOSE/DEBUG: available through command line flags
TYPE_NAME_BACKUP and ALLOW_OVERWRITE_BACKUP are being renamed to
SQLBACKUP_TYPE and SQLBACKUP_OVERWRITE. this is to be more consistent
with the global configurations
See: #1081
See: #318.
As of now, the MySQL configuration used everywhere by AlternC is not
stored in the main configuration file (/etc/alternc/local.sh) but in a
MySQL configuration file in /etc/alternc/my.cnf, which enables us to
call mysql without exposing the password on the commandline.
The changes here are quite invasive but will allow us to factor out
the MySQL configuration better. See #364.
This includes a partial rewrite of the mysql.sh logic, which is now ran
from the postinst script (and not alternc.install) which will allow us
to actually change the MySQL root user properly. See #601.
This commit was tested like this:
* clean install on etch (working)
* upgrade from a clean 0.9.7 (working)
