Package: zest.recipe.mysql
Recipe to install MysqlCode repository:http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/zest.recipe.mysqlIt can be a problem getting both mysql and mysql’s python binding to install
reliably on everyone’s development machine. Problems we encountered were
mostly on the mac, as mysql gets installed into different locations by the
official mysql distribution, macports and fink. And on the mac, the python
binding needs a patch.One solution: fix the underlying stuff and make mysql and mysql-python a
dependency that has to be handled by the OS. Alternative solution: this
‘zest.recipe.mysql’ recipe.Warning: rough edges. It is not a properly
documented and tested package as it originally was a quick
need-to-get-something-working-now job.Here’s a quick piece of buildout to get you started if you want to test
it:[buildout]
parts =
    mysql
    ...

[mysql]
recipe = zest.recipe.mysql
# Note that these urls usually stop working after a while... thanks...
mysql-url = http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.86.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.proserve.nl/
mysql-python-url = http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mysql-python/MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz

    ...
    ${mysql:eggs}This ought to download and install mysql and mysql-python.Mysql and mysql-python end up in ‘…/parts/mysql’.mysql-python is installed as a development egg by buildout.The socket and the database are in ‘…/var/mysql’.Optionsmysql-url– Download URL for the target version of MySQL (required).mysql-python-url– Download URL for the target version of the
Python wrappers (required)python– path to the Python against which to build the wrappers
(optional, currrently unused).config-skeleton– path to a file used as a template for generating
the instance-localmy.cnffile (optional).  If this option is not
supplied, no configuration will be generated.  If passed, the text from
the indicated file will be used as a Python string template, with the
following keys passed in the mapping to the%operator:MYSQLD_INSTALLMYSQLD_SOCKETMYSQLD_PIDFILEDATADIRwith-innodb– if set to a non-false value, will pass the--with-innodboption to the configure command.Changelog1.0.4 (2010-02-23)Moved options documentation to theREADME.txtfile.
[maurits]Add a recipe option,with-innodb: if set to a non-false value, will
pass the--with-innodboption to the configure command.
[rafrombrc]1.0.3 (2009-10-19)Add a recipe option,config-skeleton:  if passed, points to a file
used as a template for generating an instance-localmy.cnffile.
Ensure that the generated wrapper scripts use this file, if generated;
if not, ensure that the wrappers disable “standard” config file lookups.
[tseaver]Document existing recipe options in class docstring.
[tseaver]Delegate command line arguments from wrapper script to the real mysqld_safe,
just as with other wrappers.
[tseaver]1.0.2 (2009-10-14)Unchanged rerelease of 1.0.1 due to fix packaging error.
[maurits]1.0.1 (2009-10-13)Fix support for newer MySQL releases, thanks to a patch send in by
Tres Seaver. [jladage]1.0 (2009-10-09)Nothing changed yet.1.0beta (2008-10-21)Added bin/stop-mysql script. [reinout]0.9.1 (2008-10-20)README update.0.9 (2008-10-15)Better conditional downloading/extracting of the zipfiles. [reinout]Changing update method to check for existance of /parts/mysql. If you’ve
removed that parts directory the full install will be run. Handy for
updating old installs. [reinout]0.8 (2008-10-10)Changed mysql-python egg handling: it no longer installs an egg in your
global egg cache (which gives errors when you have two buildouts that use
it). Instead it installs the egg locally as a development egg. This means
you have to include it in your instance’s egg list as ${mysql:eggs}.
[reinout]Added example parts to the buildout config so that it can be tested that
way. There are no real other tests. [reinout]0.4.0 (2008-03-16)Created recipe with ZopeSkel [Jean-Paul Ladage].Learned from the varnish recipe and wrote the build recipe which
downloads, compiles and install MySQL and created wrapper scripts
in the bin folder of the buildout.Todo listContributorsJean-Paul Ladage (Zest software): principal authorReinout van Rees (Zest software): added development egg support.Tres Seaver (Agendaless Consulting): bugfixes, config file generation.Rob Miller: added ‘with-innodb’ option
