[Puppet 0.25.5] MySQL type for Debian

I’ve modified DavidS’ puppet-mysql type to work on Debian and with puppet 0.25.5 (added a local instances method). It’s not perfect, but good enough for what I need. You can find my fork for it here:

Let me know if you have any questions or if this helps you! Also, if you’re a ruby programmer, you might want to take a look at my providers… They’re slightly messy, I think. They work, though.

The main difference between the old package and the debian specific ones is that my types always use Debian’s /etc/mysql/debian.cnf as a defaults file. This file is created when you install mysql from the Debian repository and is mainly used for maintenance. So ideal for puppet usage.
