Hi guys,
while we were packaging MariaDB into Fedora (finally) we used the
upstream's cnf files structure, which means /etc/my.cnf, that includes
all files from directory /etc/my.cnf.d/* using statement !includedir.
That works fine when user installs (not updates) the MariaDB packages
without having them installed before. The problem is if user has changed
/etc/my.cnf before updating -- then /etc/my.cnf doesn't get updated
(!includedir won't be added) and we end with files under /etc/my.cnf.d/*
but nothing what includes them. That is quite confusing for users that
may change something in /etc/my.cnf.d/client.cnf but nothing happens.
Since files under /etc/my.cnf.d/* are empty by default it shouldn't do
any harm if all files corresponding with /etc/my.cnf.d/*.cnf template
get loaded even without !includedir in /etc/my.cnf. Actually I believe
that is what users expect to happen when they see files under
/etc/my.cnf.d..
So, that's basically what I'm proposing -- read files under
/etc/my.cnf.d/* by default, without a need to use !includedir. What do
you think?
Regards,
Honza
