Description Karel Volný 2013-12-10 12:57:44 UTC

Description of problem:
Trying to run mysql_config without parameters, it returns nonzero exit code. But this is not an error, the application should return zero.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mariadb-5.5.33a-1.fc19

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mysql_config >/dev/null; echo $?

Actual results:
1

Expected results:
0

Additional info:
from the manpage:

"If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports, and their values:"

so, invoking without parameters is correct usage ...

note also that it'd be nice to support the "--help" option, but that's more RFE material than a bug

Let's see what they think about such behaviour.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Honza Horak 2016-06-15 10:56:22 UTC

According to upstream, it's been fixed in 5.5.36, so closing.
