MySQL community pinboard

[Andersson007]

Copied from ansible/community#439

We could collectively benefit from forming a Working Group related to MySQL and MariaDB integration. We have quite some contributors and users that are interested in improving this integration.

So this issue is a call to potential interested parties (earlier and existing contributors to Ansible). The benefits of having a Working Group is that members of the Working Group can:

• test, review and add shipits to existing MySQL PRs
• work collectively on a MySQL roadmap
• provide a single-point-of-contact for interested MySQL contributors
• collaborate on a MySQL-specific Wiki

@Jorge-Rodriguez feel free to add yourself to the table there https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/wiki/MySQL-Working-Group

[Jorge-Rodriguez]

@Andersson007 I don't seem to be able to edit the wiki to add myself to the table.

[Andersson007]

@Jorge-Rodriguez ah, sorry, just changed settings, could you please try again

[Andersson007]

@Jorge-Rodriguez

1. do you need that 2 branches https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/branches ?
2. have you seen my email? (nothing urgent or super important)

[Jorge-Rodriguez]

@Andersson007 I don't need the branches, thank you for reminding me that they were left over, I've deleted then now. And yes, I saw your email. I've been meaning to answer but things have been quite busy on my end.

[Andersson007]

@Jorge-Rodriguez cool, thanks for the confirmation! There's even no need to answer. It was just random thoughts:) I wanted to be sure it didn't end up in a spam folder or something.

FYI: I'm releasing community.mysql 2.0.0 tomorrow morning (2021-04-15)

[Andersson007]

FYI: In addition to fully replace stopslave, startslave, etc. state values with corresponding stopreplica, etc. in community.mysql 3.0.0 next autumn, I've just announced replacement of Is_Slave with Is_Replica (I'll add a warning ASAP).

W're also gonna replace master with primary.

[Andersson007]

This is the plan for 3.0.0:

major_changes:
- mysql_replication - the return value ``Is_Slave`` and ``Is_Master`` will be replaced with ``Is_Replica`` and ``Is_Primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).
- mysql_replication - the word ``master`` in messages returned by the module will be replaced with ``primary`` in ``community.mysql`` 3.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/145).

• dropping support for REQUIRESSL (see Deprecate REQUIRESSL privilege #132)

[Andersson007]

community.mysql 2.0.0 has been released

New branch stable-2 has been created as well

It means that we have to backport to stable-2 (by cherry-picking from main) all changes we'll merge to main since now (except breaking changes!).
I created a label needs_backport_to_stable-2 - please put it on all PRs you'll merge since now, then create backports. Thanks!
Don't put this label on PRs with breaking changes! :)

I'll try to nail down ansibullbot here later to create backports automatically.

I'm happy to announce that the registration (free) for the Ansible Contributor Summit is open.

Which day should you attend?

• If you are wondering what it means to "contribute" to Ansible, or if you have been using Ansible for a while and are thinking of ways to get more involved with the project and community, then Day 1 (September 28, Tuesday) is for you!
• If you have already been contributing or participating in our previous Contributor Summits, you are still welcome to attend Day 1, however we think that Day 2 (October 1, Friday) will be more interesting for you.

Refer to the registration page for details.

See you at the summit!
