Hi Daniel, AWESOME! I was not aware of this project - just reading the docs makes me drool I will take a closer look at it right away. Thanks for the hint! LenZ

Just in case you don't know that one yet: If you are interested in shooting raw photos and in advanced control options (including Basic scripting support), the Canon Hacker's Development Kit may be interesting for you: http://chdk.wikia.com/ I just discovered that a few weeks ago and use it on my Canon Ixus 60 / Powershot 600SD. Works really great!

LenZ: The mylvmbackup source tree has moved to Bazaar/Launchpad

Good point! Thanks for the hint - this is now done. I updated the project home page accordingly.

If you follow the link on https://code.edge.launchpad.net/mylvmbackup to set a main development branch, you can link the branch (~lenz-mysql/mylvmbackup/trunk) to the trunk series for mylvmbackup (https://launchpad.net/mylvmbackup/trunk). Once this is done, people can grab your trunk branch with: bzr branch lp:mylvmbackup

Frank: The MySQL source code has moved!

It would be interesting to know why bazaar was preferred to other scm like git or hg, do you know the details? thanks

Interesting After the step $ scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql I get the following error: FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./share/fill_help_tables.sql If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location.

Sean: Please give us your feedback by taking the MySQL Magazine Survey!

I see the survey doesn't list PHP under Q19; I may (mistakenly) imagine it's the most common language when it comes to LAMP. It may be beneficial to add it?

Hi! Great stuff, Lenz! Just a quick FYI: You can use the a2enmod command to enable mod_rewrite. So, instead of: cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ sudo ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load . You could also do: sudo a2enmod rewrite At least, this works with Debian/Ubuntu. Not sure about rpm-based or Suse... Cheers! Jay

Hi Lenz, I know the userland feeling That said, DTrace is just extremely valuable for looking under the hood. Nice collection of resources. I am very interested in Solaris Cluster and can't wait to deploy in our environment for testing. This could be the answer to DRBD. frank

Michael S. Moody: mylvmbackup 0.8 has been released

nospam@example.com (Michael S. Moody) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 03:31:58 +0200

I see a lot of people using things like what you've mentioned here, however, as an out of the box solution, we stumbled across this company at hostcon, and linuxworld last year (2007). We're using them for point in time mysql backups, completely successfully: www.r1soft.com I highly recommend it, as for an out of the box solution, it works perfectly. Michael

I suppose you mean Hamburg and Berlin in the post title. Munich meeting was a couple of weeks ago afair.

LenZ: Embedding a MySQL Server in C/C++ or Java applications

nospam@example.com (LenZ) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:21:24 +0100

Hi Mark, the Windows builds used to include the embedded server, not sure if this is still the case. To my knowledge the 5.0 release currently does not include it, but please check the 5.1 release and submit a bug report, if it is missing! Thanks.

Is it possible to get Windows builds of the embedded server library? Is a (recent) community version available?
