Description : Advisory locking (mutexes) for ActiveRecord when used with MySQL or PostgreSQL
WithAdvisoryLock adds advisory locking (mutexes) to ActiveRecord 6.0+, with ruby 2.7+,
jruby or truffleruby, when used with MySQL or PostgreSQL. SQLite resorts to file locking.
.
An advisory lock is a mutex used to ensure no two processes run some process at the same time.
When the advisory lock is powered by your database server, as long as it isn't SQLite, your mutex spans hosts.
I am packaging WithAdvisoryLock because it is required by the current version of Redmine.
I intend to maintain it under the Debian Ruby Team umbrella.
