Puppet users - Jan 2013 - puppetlabs-mysql module

Hello All,

I''m never really sure whether to email the maintainers for modules or
the list so I figure posting to the list is a good place to start;-)

So I''ve started testing out the puppetlabs-mysql module today and I
like what I''m seeing but have a few questions/critiques/concerns
regarding the types/providers. I''m finding the names, database,
database_user, and database_grant rather generic. Unless there are
plans to merge mysql, postgresql, etc, into a single "database" module
shouldn''t they be a bit more specific like mysql_db, mysql_user, and
mysql_grant?

Also, what about supplying my.cnf instead of creating from a template
which is the default action? I see you can use mysql::server::config,
which I haven''t tried yet, to add additional params but I''m
thinking
that could lead to a rather large/unwieldy manifest given the vast
number of options available.

Nice work and I hope to see my pull request for SuSE support accepted soon;-)

You can supply values to override those defined in /etc/my.cnf by adding files
to /etc/mysql/conf.d.  The module makes the overrides possible with the default
configuration in my.cnf, I believe the IncludeDir line.  Using phone so
difficult to reference.
