Hi, Kristian Would you like to look once again at the mtr patch ? I've moved it to 5.1 and added one more feature (SUITENAME_COMBINATIONS, see below) to be able to incorporate Monty's changes for the innodb_plugin in a sane way. I've removed auto-creation of my.cnf options by mere mentioning, as you found that confusing. Instead I added explicit group OPT, so now sphinx my.cnf would do [searchd] port=@OPT.port [ENV] SEARCHD_PORT=@searchd.port which is hopefully less confusing. Also, I've added a README file will assorted notes about what I've discovered when looking into mtr and what I've added. It's not an exhaustive manual yet, though. Regards, Sergei
