[mysql-ha-devel] alpha-0.6.4

[Fernando I. <fi...@se...>]

Hello all.

Leandro: I'll have a CentOS test environment ready by thursday. I'll let 
you know then. I'm using the list instead of your private address for 
documentation purposes :)
Let me know if you found the installation manual useful in any way.

Alpha-0.6.4 is out today. I've changed the number, trying to get into a 
saner line (so our first stable release is actually 1.0).

This includes important fixes to setup_replication.sh:
- there was a mysql password hardcoded that prevented the 
replicate.do.db feature from working anywhere but on the original test 
system (it's a good thing I format my test systems regularly!).
- there was a problem with the way the replication privilege was granted 
on the master. we now do our best to get the slave's fqhn, which _might_ 
be the host name used in mysql's connections (it might not, since it's 
probably the first host name that appears associated to the local ip on 
the /etc/hosts file on the slave. I haven't confirmed this yet. If I do, 
I'll update the code again).

- We have a working rc-script now, though it still could use some 
refactoring.
- We have better handling of the MYSQLHA_HOME environment variable.

Happy clustering!
