Hi everybody, I am working on the packaging of ruby-dataobjects-mysql, a ruby library offering a unified interface to database systems (here mysql). A best practice instaured in the Ruby Extras Team is to run the test suite at build time to ensure that it will work with the versions of the Ruby interpreter supported by Debian. For the test suite to run for this package, an instance of the mysqld server needs to be started. Installing mysql-server-5.1 as a build-dependency does not start the daemon in a pbuilder chroot, because of policy-rc.d I was wondering what would be the best way to start (and possibly stop) the mysql server from the debian/rules makefile. Could anyone help me on this? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Cédric
