Within a few hours smeserver-phpmyadmin will appear in the SME Test repository. I have made some fundamental changes to this RPM and would like these bugs to be verified before official release into SME Contribs.
The major change consists of moving the phpmyadmin core out of the package and adding it as a dependency, this way we will have less maintenance as the phpmyadmin RPM is build upstream by the RPMForge team, if they now release a newer version we do not need to update smeserver-phpmyadmin anymore and the update can be pushed (after verification) to the SME Contribs repository.
The following bugs are marked fixed and need to be verified:
- bug 4298: Rewrite smeserver-phpmyadmin to be an integrational RPM
- bug 4339: Move/convert templates to new installation location
- bug 4340: Automatically generate the phpmyadmin configuration
- bug 4341: Remove phpmyadmin core from smeserver-phpmyadmin package
- bug 4343: Create template.metadata fragment for phpmyadmin config.inc.php to protect sensitive data and prevent access errors
If you would like to verify and do not know exactly how please have a look at
this page in the wiki (outlining a nice template as well) and
verifications done recently. If you are not sure which method or path to use to verify a bug please toggle the
need_help_to_verify flag for the bug concerned.
If verification fails please reopen the bug and add your comments as well as the output showing that verification failed.
Thanks in advance!
After documenting the before state you should be able to install smeserver-phpmyadmin from the smetest repository llike this:
yum install smeserver-phpmyadmin
Warning:- This is a release in test status and is only meant to be installed on test servers for verification and test purposes.
- Due to a bug in older releases of smeserver-phpmyadmin it could be that on upgrading the MySQL database is lost, therefore please backup your mysql database first using:
mysqldump --opt --databases phpmyadmin > /tmp/phpmyadmin.sql
Disclaimer:As stated this is a test release, no warranties implied.
