[Devil-linux-develop] Last minute stuff for 1.2 - and MySQL question.

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

I'm working on adding PostgreSQL server now, and am about done except
for testing and creating an init.d script.

Looking at the MySQL build/install script makes me ask why is the client
and server are separate options in menuconfig?  According to the install
script, the server binaries are being installed even if _only_ the
client option is selected.  All the server option gains you is to copy
the init.d script and echo a couple lines in /etc/sysconfig/config.

So, unless I hear a strong objection really soon, I'm going to combine
the "MySQL server" and "MySQL Client" menuconfig options into a single
"MySQL" option.

Likewise, PostgreSQL is only going to have one option in menuconfig.

When I recall it correctly, it's all done via the configure script.
You can basically say compile the client only.

I don't know if PostgreSQL even has a similar option. I would prefer if we
could de-select the server part.

OK, I missed that part.

Right now, it appears that the current client installation for
postgresql is the same as the server install, except it's missing the
backend server binary.

I'll add a separate option for "postgresql server" where I copy the
backend binary and the init.d script.

That's what I would definitely call a bug.

In a real "firewall-only" profile I would only want the postgres client 
side as I would want ipac-ng to send accounting data to the db server.

So I would urge you to rather fix the "problem" so there is really a 
separation between the client- and the server part of both MySQL and 
PostgreSQL.
