Progress in MySQL Sandbox

 

Hi, all.

MySQL Sandbox 2.0.98b has some more code cleanup and refactoring.
Many functions were moved to the MySQL::Sandbox module, and a new
feature was introduced. Now if you add --check_port to a make_sandbox
operation, you can create a truly independent installation.
Until now, the Sandbox was just using a clever scheme to assign port
numbers. But if you tried to install the same version twice, you had a
conflict that you needed to solve manually.
Now, with the new addition, you can just install from the same version
as many times as you want, and the Sandbox will find a free port and
make a different directory name for you.

There is more to do in this area, but I consider this to be a very good start.
