Re: Auto extraction of names from the LSB spec sources.
Stuart, George.
Thank you both for the pointers. This way of looking at a document from an
arbitrary collection of facts is something I have occasionally wondered
about, and now have a concrete working example of!
Yay!
And I will be grovelling through that code today. Setting up MySQL and the
database on my debian Woody box was a bit of "fill in the blanks" work
though. The README's and the dbdump makefiles didn't quite work so I ended
up building the DB as the mysql root user first.
Also Shouldn't the restore target in the dbdump makefile do a 'mysqladmin
$(DBOPTS) create lsb' first for the rest of the scripts to work properly?
until I did that step manually my 'makes' were all failing with "no such
database"
Was there a clue I missed?
Albert.
