[Maria-developers] Packaging: Ubuntu debs have binaries stripped?
by Sergey Petrunya 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi, I see that MariaDB's mysqld is stripped in the last ubuntu debs, just like it is stripped in MySQL's debs. The problem with that is that without symbols it's nearly impossible to debug crashes. Do deb files really have no debug info at all (or I've missed it?)? If yes, how can they report bugs? If not, do we generate the debug info? I'd sleep easier after having verified that we've not shipped binaries that we have no debug info for.

[Maria-developers] Packaging: Ubuntu debs feedback
by Sergey Petrunya 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi Arjen, First, thanks for the first deb packages. They are really appreciated. I've tried installing MariaDB from http://master.ourdelta.org/deb/dists/jaunty/mariadb-ourdelta/ on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64. I got HTTP 404 errors on the first attempt, but not on the second. The package asked me to change root password several times during the installation. In all cases, I've just hit 'enter' as an indication that I do not want to change it. As a result, I got this: Setting up mariadb-server-core-5.1 (5.1.38-ourdelta81) ... Setting up mariadb-server-5.1 (5.1.38-ourdelta81) ... * Stopping MariaDB database server mysqld [ OK ] Replacement succeeded for "/usr/sbin/mysqld". * Starting MariaDB database server mysqld [ OK ] * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.

I had to edit /etc/my.cnf and put there 'skip-grant-tables' so that I could log in. After logging in, I can see that mysql.user table is empty. It looks like installer script wasn't successful in adding the debian-stys-maint user?

The criteria for inclusion are: 1. ask for things that are essential to have a working setup as soon as the installation is complete 2. ask for things without answers for which the newbies can get into trouble. - Checks if the target installation directory, TCP port, or named pipe are busy. If they are, it asks to remove the previous installation first and aborts. - Adds start menu items - to start the server manually (with --console) - to start mysql client - to edit the my.cnf file. - Registers MariaDB as installed, sets up uninstaller. (TODO: should the uninstaller the datadir or leave it? (or ask the user?)) - Creates installation log, and in case of any failures presents the log to the user and requests to file it as a bug (How far we should go here depends on how complex and error-prone the final installation procedure will be). 1.2 Step 2: upgrades from MySQL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Same as above but with handling of the case where MySQL has been already installed: - offer to replace MySQL. - upgrade the data directory (todo we should sort out if anything/what is needed for this). - Uninstall MySQL - Install MariaDB. 1.3 Step 3: Configuration wizard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Installer should include configuration wizard that's similar to what MySQL installer does. TODO come up with options 2. Installer wishlist (developer POV) ------------------------------------- * Some "installshield-like" tool that's easy to use (suggestion by Webyog: NSIS) * Installation procedure source should reside in MariaDB source repository * Installation procedure source file is better to be in human-readable text format. * It should be possible to automate creation of the installer package, in a way that can be run from buildbot (e.g. the installer package build process should print messages to its stdout) * Any suggestions on how can one automatically test the installation package? (for example, we'll want to start the installer, install, check that installation succeeded, then start the server, run some commands, then uninstall. Any ways to achieve that?) 3. Other notes -------------- * MySQL's logo is the seal (see e.g. here: https://code.launchpad.net/maria) Bo Thorsen has the latest revision of the picture in various formats. ESTIMATED WORK TIME ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WorkLog (v3.5.9)
